GERMANS lombard
THE BRITISH COAST
SHELLS CAUSE HEAVY LOSS OF
LIFE AND MUCH PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
Squadron Creeps Through Fog and At.
tacks Unfortifed Cities Without
Warning, Causing Panic Among
Inhabitants.

London.-A squadron OF swift Ger
man cruisers crept through the fog
from the North sea Tuesday night
and turned the guns on Hartlepool
Scarborough and Whitby, unfortified
cities on the east coast of England
early Wednesday morning
Some sixty or seventy English wo-
men and men were killed. according
to reports. Churches were ruined, no
strOyed by the bombardment, which
endured forty minutes. after which
the Germans steamed northward from
Scarborough.
Hundreds fed in panic while the in
vaders' projectiies Numbered and
burst, setting on fire the structures
they had reduced to ruins. Others.
affrighted, took refuge in cellars.
This is the first time since 1898
that England has been struck by for
eign foe
The exploding shells of the bold
cruisers, who slipped through the
British fleet and the guard ships and
lodged the mines thickly strewn in
the North sea, dug holes in the streets
OF Scarborough so wide and deep that
railway truck could pass through
them.
The gun flashes indicated that four
big warships were firing. One shell
that had been picked up was twelve
inches in diameter and thirty-three
inches long.
Hurriedly called by wireless, British
warships FASTENED from the nearest
points to attack the enemy, whose in
vasion had not been unexpected by
the naval authorities and experts.
But the German cruiser force, made
up OF their faster cruisers. escaped in
the mist from the British squadron
sent to cut them off.
While England has apprehended an
attack from the air, this demonstra-
ton has caused the most intense sur
prise and the fiercest anger that I'M
fortified cities were attacked For
only Hartlepool has little fort at the
mouth of the Tees.
The alarm that spread throughout
the kingdom resulted in calling out
the national reserves at Nottingham
/ In many other places units OF artillery
and infantry were sent to their sta
tions in preparedness to resist any
possible attack
The number Of the attacking force
has been yariously estimated at from
three to six cruisers.
The attack began at Hartlepool
about five minutes after Wednesday
morning, when most people were al
breakfast. 1t WA like thunderbol
from clear sky, most persons think
ing thunderstorm had arisen
About fifty projectiles fell in Scar
borough. Among the buildings tha
suffered were the elaborate sea-bath
ing establishment, st. Columbus gen
eral hospital, All Saints church ant
the Parish Church hospital. The roof
o. all these were damaged.
The people of Whitby saw only tw,
warships. They appeared off tina
town scout 8 o'clock. About thirt,
shells 'ell in Whitby and it's sur
roundirss. doing considerable damage
chiefly in the Comfield districts, wher
several houses were wrecked. Tn,
historic cathedral was damaged. Tw,
persons were killed and two wounded

GERMANS CLAIM TO HAVE DE.
FEATED RUSSIANS, WHILE THE
CARS MEN DENY DEFEAT.
In Flanders the Allies and Invaders
Are Both Sending Out Reports of
Advances Made in Re-
cent Battles.

Standing cut prominently among
fhe claims and cOunterc,aims OF the
allies and Germans Of successes won
or attacks repulsed. on the battle
sine in Flanders and France is the
German admission of the French as
sertion that the Germans have j
trench some $50 feet in length 10 the
southeast of Bethune.
This trench previously had been
the scene of bitter contests. the
French having captured it December
il and lost it the following day, the
Germans having held it since.
AS to the fighting elsewhere along
the western front each ccntending
side records in its official statement
advances by its forces or attacks OF
she enemy repealed. None OF the ad.
sances. however, is recorded as being
great and it seems evident that
though the fighting at some points
has been vicious and that heavy
losses have resulted, the position of
virtual stalemate continues.
From no point has there yet come
the unofficial claims made last week
10 great victory by the Germans in
Poland. In Poland the Russians are
preparing strong positions near Rawa
and Nida. We are attacking them
everywhere says the last German
official report of the situation in the
east. Petrograd says nothing of the
fighting on the right bank OF the Wis.
tula. but declares that a number OF
fierce encounters have taken place on
the front of the Bzura and Rawka
rivers westward from Warsaw. On
the Bzura two German companies are
declared to have been annihilated
Petrograd claims also to have re.
pulsed another attempted sortie from
Przemysl and to have captured a
large number of Austrians
Austria reports the appearance of
strong Russian forces in Galicia. but
declares that in the Carpathians, at.
lacks by the Russians have been re-
pulsed; that the Austrian troops
have advanced to Tuchow, south Of
Tarnow, and that great battle is de-
yeloping north of Lupkow pass.
