About One Hundred Killed in
German Raid on England.

London, Dec. 18-Calm but deadly
anger is the keynote of national senti.
ment following the sensational raid
upon British coast cities by German
cruisers which bOmbarded Scar
borough, Hartlepool and Whitby.
Despite the fact that the German
warships succeeded in threading their
way through the mine. fields of the
North sea and approached within
mile of the British coast at some
points there is firm determination
not to permit such isolated raids to
interfere with the present plans Of
the admiralty and war Office for the
disposition of the British naval and
land forces.
The latest casualty lists account for
eighty-fve civilians killed and 267
wounded in the three cities attacked.
In. addition the war Office estimates
the casualties in the Hartlepool fort
ress at seven soldiers killed and four
teen wounded.
Among the victims in the unforti-
fed English towns were women and
children, who were killed in their
homes when shells crashed into the
city. ...

RECKLESS SHOOTING
TO [: Be SUPPRESSED
Complaints From House Holders
Whose DomiciIes Have Been
Ridded

The case of E. F. Jones, arrested
fer violating the state game law
which prohibits shooting across a
public road, was settled in Justice
Parkers court by the defendant
Pleading guilty and paying a nominal
fine of $40. Mr.. Jones appears to
have misjudged his distance from the
road at the time of shooting.
Probably if another man had seen
the shooting than the prosecuting
witness, no complaint would have
been made, but this witness had
been rendered gun-shy when he and
his little daughter were inadvertent-
" filled with bird shot by hunter
about 4 wear ago.
This incident took place northeast
of the city where there has been a
good deal of complaint about the
carelessness of hunters. The whole
neighborhood has been terrorized to
some extent and many houses in that
vicinity have been spattered by shot.
One woman was standing in the
doorway Of her house with her
children playing about her in the
.ya-d when a charge of heavy shot
lodged in the door casing a foot and
a hale above her head state Game
Warden Willard is determined to
break up reckless shooting. He has
appointed deputies in the neighbor-
hoods from which complaints have
come. Speaking yesterday of this
matter, Mr. Willard said
Il find that l have a bigger job
on hand protecting the lives of the
farmers and their wives and chill
dcen, to say nothing about horses,
cattle and barnyard fowls than ]
have to protect the game birds and
animals; but this department shall
| not let up until the lawless, reckless
shooting upon the public highways
and about private premises by care
! less irresponsible people ends. The
law in the matter is going to occupy
a conspicuous place on the map
| just as soon as this department can
place It there.
Mr.. Jones, who got into trouble
with the game law last Friday,
pleaded guilty and paid a fine of SO
fot shooting across the. public high
| way. He says that he knew better
and that he should have been more
careful in estimating his distance
and in making sure that nobody was
in, reach of his gun; that the law

of its enforcement even if it did

Aeronautic Science.

Aviation has definitely become science,
having advanced within q very few years
from a dangerous and doubtful fad to
a commanding position among human &C.
tiyities. The latest evidence of this de-
yelopment is afforded by the fact that
the Massachusetts Institute Of Technol-
oey. one of the leading scientific institu-
tons in this country. has organized a
department of aeronautics. which Is de-
signed to teach students the principles
of air navigation. the mechanics Of the
devices for the utilization Of the air cur
rents for transport, the atmospheric con-
ditions and all other matters which have
to do directly or indirectly with the new
form of mans enterprise.
Long ago The Star urged that the prob
lem Of aviation. then seemingly at best
