HARTLEPOOL, England. December 10
via London, IL noon.-The residents OF
Hartlepool were awakened this morning
by heavy gun firing.
A great crowd at once assembled or
the beach to learn whence the sounds
came.
Shells from German ships soon began
dropping into the city. whereupon the
crowd on the beach rapidly sought shelter.
The bombardment of cities on the east
coast OF England by German cruisers is the
first overt act of the war against British
territory. The British people have felt
that their fleet in the North sea was suf-
ficient to render this possibility very re-
mote.
More Than One Naval Encounter.
The bonbardment of Hartlepool and
Scarborough would indicate that the Ger
mans have considerable liberty of action.
There doubtless have been more than one
naval encounter i'll the North sea, for
the British statement refers to engage
ments at various points.
German Activity Had Been Reported
DISPATCHES from Germany for as
much as a month past have indicated
in one way or another that the Ger
mans were making preparations at
their Sea bases for naval activity. Very
little details of what was going on
has come out, nevertheless the mes
sages led to the belief that the German
ships might soon attempt some man.

The Kie1 canal, running from the
North sea to the Baltic, makes it pos

entire fleet in either one water or the
other. By bringing through the canal
such vessels as she may have used
since the beginning of the war in the
Baltic, e ,rmany could concentrate in
the North sea virtually her entire
naval strength, exception being made,
of course. of her fast cruisers, which
since the opening of hostilities have
operated in the Pacific ocean and in
tt southern Atlantic.
These vessels all told do not exceed
nine or ten, and a number of them al
ready have succumbed to the vigilance
of Germany's enemies.
British Naval Strength Unknown
Quantity.
The British naval strength in the
North sea is and has been an unknown
quantity. There is reason to believe.
however, that it is formidable. Great
Britain has some warships in the
Mediterranean, and during the past six
weeks it is evident that she sent some
of her ships for service in the south
Atlantic to pursue German cruisers
