BOMBARDED TOWNS
ON HISTORIC GROUND
Scarborough Hartepoo and Whitby in Section
Where Invaders of Island Kingdom Landed
in Past Ages

Scarborough. Hartlepool and Whitby,
which suffered under the first overt at
tack of the war on English soil, stand on
the historic ground where invaders OF
the island empire have landed IN ages
past. It was on this northeast coas.
that the Mortimer set foot, entering
through the Humber and advancing
toward York. This same locality bore
the brunt of the Danish and Teutonlc
movements across the North Sea.
Scarborough, which has a resident
population of about 10000, is kno~l
as the Queen of Watering Places"
and is the most popular seaside resort
in the north Of England. II is thirty
seven miles northeast of York and a
little more than 200 miles from Lon
don. IL is finely situated in the form
of an amphitheatre on slopes rising
from the sea. and a nearby promontory
800 feet high is crowned with the ruins
Of twelfth century castle, one of the
most striking objects on the coast.
This promontory divides North
Scarborough Bay from the South Bay
The North cliffs begin near it. The
North Bay is embellished with gardens
and along its shore is the marine drive,
two miles long and protected by sea
wall.
The fashionable part of Scarborough
is in the southern half of the city and
is separated from the old town by the
park. On the southern side are the
Spa Gardens and the Mineral Springs
At the back of the South cliff rises
divers Mountain. 600 feet high, af-
fording a good view of the port and
the sea.
Ancient Castle a Landmark.
The Castle Of Scarborough, browning
the promontory and commanding the
town, is one of the most striking OBJ
jects on the Yorkshire coast. From
the beach line the land rises in steep
ascent, and upon this slope stands the
town. Scarborough, as to situation and
appearance, has no rival on the north
eastern coast. A branch of the North
eastern Railway connects Scarborough
with York and Hull. making it readily
accessible to the thousands of visitors
who seek refuge there. Not far away
is the ancient church of St. Mary, the
nave of which combines late Norman
and early English archite ,ture.
In 1855 the Norseman Harold Har-
drada landed at Scarborough. when he
began his invasion of North Britain.
Scarborough is about $50 miles from
the western entrance to the Kiel Canal
/ Hartlepool is a seaport forty miles
northwest of Scarborough and nineteen
q miles southeast of Durham. 1t is sit
uated on a promontory, and was a
thriving commercial centre in the Mid.
die Ages. There is the medieval
church of st. Hilda's. The population
is about $4,000, but adjoining is West
Hartlepool, with a population of about
$4,000. The two cities are provided
with vast system Of docks, and before
the war had an active trade with the
Baltic ports and Hamburg, Amsterdam
and Rotterdam. The chief industries
are shipbuilding, iron founding, me
{ Instruction of marine engines, the
manufacture of paper and pulp, and
cement making. Hartlepool and West
Hartlepool together constitute Par.

TO MOVE CIVILIANS
FROM COAST TOWNS
British Authorities Prepare
Plans for Action in Case
of Bombardmert.

London, Dec. 17.-Under the super
vision Of military and civilian authori-
ties arrangements are being made in
southeast coast towns, purely as a mat
ter of precaution, for the removal of
civilians in case of bombardment or
raid. Inhabitants Of Deal and other
open towns are to be taken some miles
inland in such case, while all civil
ians are to be removed from the fort
ress of Dover.
The details of how these removals
would be carried out so that civilians
would not impede the movements of
the military by travelling on the same
roads have been worked out. and the
civil authorities are now being IN
structed by military as to the steps

Formerly Hartlepool was a very per-
feet specimen of a fortified town. 1t
was circled by a wall, strengthened by
bastions, breast wall and parapet
and there were ten towers to defend IL.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth the
town fell INTO such decay that it was
spoken Of as Gan ancient, deoayed coast
town, once a brave, stately and well
fortified town, now only a sea land
habitation for fishermen" 1t con-

law was passed for improving the port.

Hartlepool Has Fine Harbor.
Hartlepoo was the place where the
Comte de Bar landed from his fleet in
III to assist William the Lion in in
vading England. From that time the
importance of the harbor seems to have
been appreciated. and it was the only
ancient port of the Palatinate. Here
Bishop Pudsey prepared the galley,
fitted with silver and containing a
silver throne, seated on which he in
tended to accompany Richard | TO the
crusades.
Whitby, which has a popula.i =. of
about II, 900, is in the North Riding of
Yorkshire, and about MALI way between
Scarborough and Hart,epool. 1t is sit

a double monastery by Oswy, King
of Northumberland, in 657. 1t grew
from a pricrv OF which st. Hilds was

Church of Rome. IL was destroyed by

Caedmon lived.
Whitby harbor is protected at its
entrance by stone piers running ou' for

is a hind. ONE stone light tower, ele-
waited eighty-three feet above the sea.
The trade of Whitby s still of consid-

Whitby was an important whaling port.
In recent years Wh.tby has suffered

MONA QUICKLY ENDS INDIGESTION
Eat Your Favorite Food and Never
 Fear After Distress

There Is a way for you to eat what ever your stomach graves and do it over again the next day. Many will say How I wish I could but I have tried and every time it nearly kills me-"
 The real trouble is that people who suffer the untold agony of indigestion, do not properly care for the stomach.
 Every stomach has a lot of work to perform in digesting the food and if crowded with extra labor it rebels and kicks up fearful disturbance.
 M1-o-na. simple, harmless mex pensive and most effective prescrtp- ton, easily obtained at any drug store, will quickly stop this disturbance. Mi-o-na was especially prepared to regulate out-of- order stomachs. It not only helps the over-worked digestive organs by increasing the flow of gas- tric juices. but surely and safely builds up and strengthens the stom- ach walls so that the stomach can care for the food as nature intended It's needless for you to suffer with indigestion, heartburn, bilious ness, sour, gassy or upset stomach, fol Mf-o-na should give prompt and last ing relief. Do not delay but get some Of these health restoring tablets from Lee & Osgood today. If Mi-o-na does not banish all stomach distress, there will not be a penny of expense.

LARGE HATS IN VOGUE.
Are Not Crowded Out by the Turnans What tho Designers Show-Yoke Skirts and Redingotes on Display.

While so many small hats are worn this season, the larger shapes have great vogue.
 A shepherdess to which attention was directed yesterday was designed in black velvet and had a steel fancy band about the crown. The trimming was a blue ostrich fancy which shaded to a deep olive.
 The double brim in hat shapes is much liked. One in this style was of tete de negre velvet, 8 pointed shape. In contrast to the double brim, there tango and a tango cord was the zef- fective trimming.
 Another large hat in black hatter's plush had for adornment three large pink fancies and a chic gold bow.
 Still another large shape was a roll of French chiffon in pink. It was trinmed with 8 pink and blue ostrich fancy, flat on the brit1.
 On a big GainSborough hat developed in black velvet, there was pink facing, a pink velvet tie and standing pink pompon.
 Near by another large black shape on the Gainsborough order had two large white plumes across the back. At the front were three effective punches of frosted white grapes.
 Among the handsome suits display ed yesterday was a redingote model in African brown, with plaited skirt hav- ing the fashionable wide yoke.
 A suit in green broadcloth had fam cy chinchilla collar, stylish shirred back, and for trimming large jet but tons.
 Brown gabardine formed a rich look ing suit which had a jacket belted with brown velvet.
 A tunic skirt and redingote in Rus sian green had collar and cuffs ot green velvet and embroidered girdle.
 Note what The Bulletins advertisers say about styles today.
