London, Dec. 17-9:55 p. M.-The
people of the English towns of Scar
borough, the Hartlepools and Whitby
which yesterday were bombarded by
German cruisers, resumed their ordi-
nary occupations today. The only dir
ference discerned in the regular rou-
tine of this season of the year was
the arrival of crowds of camera-bear-
ing tourists, which reminded the resi-
dents of the summer influx, the return
of those who had fed on the first sound
of the firing. and busy mechanics who
were early at work repairing the dam
age done by the shells.
The attitude of the people of Eng
land is much the same as that of the
bombarded towns. There are no signs
of excitement and the only effect the
bombardment has had is the demand
that naturalized Germans and those
who have not been naturalized shall
be excluded from areas open to an at
tack such as that delivered yesterday.

Another Battle

Should the Austro- German armies
as on previous occasions, follow tbs
Russians into Poland. another big
battle will soon be in progress which
will decide whether the Germans are
to get to Warsaw or whether tho
Russians are again to threaten an
invasion of Germany.

filling expectations that they would
prove a serious menace to German

it Is better for Russia that she should
meet her foes in her own territory
