dispatch from Stock 'on-on-Tees
to the Exchange Telegraph company
says:
THE effects Of the bombardment at
Hartlepool was that 80 persons were
killed and 100 injured. At West
liartlepool 20 persons were killed and
many injured.
"Shells passed through the baptist
church at Hartlepool and other
churches were damaged.
The general belief in London is that
the German attack will give impetus
to recruiting. Today was one of eager
waiting after the admiralty bulletin
was issued shortly before noon, say
ing:
our fotillas have at various points
been engaged. The situation is de-
veloping."
Various rumors were heard. One
was that two German cruisers had
been sunk. Many thought the long
expected general naval engagement
between the British AMI German fleets
was progressing and that the she'll
ing of the coast towns was merely
incidental.
The admiraltys report issued at
$50 o'clock tonight giving the news
that the German ships had eluded
pursuit and were returning safely to
their home Watc"S, caused keen disap-
pointmcnt.
Naval writer's express the opinion
that siN or eight ships were engaged.
The Germans have available for such
an attack the armored cruisers
l'lucher, Room, I'rinz Adelbert, Prinz
Heinrich and Prinz Frederick Karl
and more than - cruisers of a smaller
elias.

.ence of the enemy was reported a
British parroling squadron endeavored
To cut the. off. on being sighted by
the British vessels. the Germans re-
tired at full speed and favored by the
mist made their escape.
'The losses on both sides are small
but full reports have not yet been
received.
The admiralty takes the opportu-
nifty of pointing out that demonstra-
lions of this character, against unfor-
tilted towns or commercial ports
though not difficult 20 accomplish

nificance.
They may cause some loss of life
among civilian population and some
damage to property. which is much
to be regretted. but they must not i'm

doubt that many have become unduly

cllned to comment on any of the war
features of the situation
The various suggestions that naval
and army transports, or cruisers, be
used to bring Americans home, or that
ships be chartered for this purpose
have as yet received only tentative
consideration by the government.
