Other Raids on Coast.

Lowestoft is on the North sea coast
about 100 miles to the northeast of
London. 1t Is almost opposite The
Hague.
On previous occasions attacks have
been made on the English coast during
the war by German warships. The
most important raid was made Decem-
Der 16. 1914. The towns of Scarbor-
ough, Whitby and Hartlepool, about $50
miles north Of Lowestoft. were bonn
barded and about 1870 persons were
killed. Aided by fog the German ves-
sells escaped.
On January "a. 1915, a further at
tempt of the kind was made. but the
German squadron was met off Dogger-
bank by the British battle cruiser
squadron under Vice Admiral Sir David
Beatty. On being sighted the Germans
made for home at high speed. Their
rear ship. the Bluecher, was sunk and
two other cruisers were set on fire and
damaged severely.
The British flagship Lion was dis
abled by shot in one of her feed tanks
and was towed home.
Previous Attack on Lowestoft.
The first German naval raid. on the
British coast was made on November
3. 1914. Three battle cruisers, the
Seydlitz. Moftke and Won der Tam, the
armored cruisers Bluecher and Yorck
ana the protected cruisers Kolberk,
Graudenz and Strassburg left port on
the evening of November 2, and at
dawn appeared off Yarmouth. They
bombarded Yarmouth and Lowestoft for
about twenty minutes and then re-
turned. A British submarine-the DIS
attempted to pursue the Germans,
but struck a mine and sank. The
Yorck also struck a mine and went
down with 300 men.
The raid on Hartlepool, Scarborough
and Whitby was the most important
Of these ventures. The German cruisers
poured hail of shells into the towns
for an hour and a half and in addition
TO the large number killed 200 or more
persons were wounded News of the
raid produced the greatest excitement
In England. where it was thought for
q time that an attempt at an invasion
OF the country might be under way.
Lowestoft, now raided for the sec
ond time by warships. is the most east
erly town in England. an important
fishing station and fashionable sea
| shore resort. The population is about
10000. This town has been attacked on
| several occasions by German air craft.

GERMAN CODE BOOK
IN Won |GEL PAPERS
Federal Agents Obtain Val
liable Means of Studying
Other Documents Found.

NEW YORK, April 25.-The docu-
ments seized by federal agents when
they raided the Office of Wolfe Won Igel
gained new Importance today through
an announcement that among them was
a German code book. This code, 1t Is
said. unlocked valuable information.
since many Of the Won Igel papers are
in cipher. The documents are now In
the keeping of the Department of JUS
tice in Washington.
Evidence received by the federal
grand jury investigating the alleged
plot to destroy the Welland canal con-
vinced the United States district attor-
ney today that the government can
legally deny the demand of the Ger
man ambassador for the return Of these
papers. Arthur A. Hassell, real es-
tate agent, who was a witness yester-
day, declared that when Won 1gel
leased his office here on June "a. 1915,
he made affidavit that the rooms were
to be used by him "as an advertising
agent and for no other purpose"
This evidence, the federal attorney
holds refutes the claim of Ambassador
Won Bernstorff that when federal
agents raided the rooms and arrested
Won Igel they violated an office of the
German embassy.
Won IgeTs own sworn statement, fed
eral officers here assert, denies the
claim of the German ambassador that
Won Igel was a member of his staff.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, April 25.-
Gen. Funston's participation i'll
the border negotiations was or
dered by the War Department
and in line with the wishes OF
the chief of staff, who believes
that the purpose of the confer
ence will be better served If lie
has with him one who is more
intimately acquainted with the
details of the situation.
Gems. Scott and Funston. it was indi-
Gated. would remain here for two or
three days, in order not to arrive at
the border too much in advance of
Gen. Obregon. Instructions that will
govern the conference are expected to
be received by Gen. Scott tomorrow.
Gen. Scott said he was not yet certain
just where the conference would take
place. but both he and Gen. Funston
have taken it for granted that it will
be either at FL Paso or Juarez.
That several weeks at least Will
elapse before the troops are withdrawn
from Mexico appears evident from the
amount of food and. forage sent south
from the Columbus base. Supplies suf-
Acient to last from thirty to thirty-f1ve
days are now at the front Gen.
Pershing also has received sufficient
clothing and shoes to completely re-
outfit his men.
Reinforcements at Columbus.

tination. The 6th Cavalry. en- route

FL Paso early today on its way to the
border base.
Receipt of news today that more
Mexican troops were being concen-
trated in northern Mexico added in
terest to the coming conference of
Gen. Scott. Gen. Funston and Gen. AL
varo Obregon. minister of war for the
de facto government.
Army officers here are not alarmed
by the troop movements. but il was
realized that Gen. Obregon has so dis
posed his forces that by the time he
meets Gen. Scott he will have behind
him not fewer than 10000 men,

minister OF war for the de facto gov
erment of Mexico. by the receipt of
news that more Mexican troops were
being concentrated in northern Mexico.
Army officers here were not alarmed by
the information concerning troop move
ments, but II was realized that Cen
Obregon. as minister of war, has so
disposed his forces that by the time he
meets Gen. Scott in a diplomatic en-
gagement he will have behind him
within easy reach not fewer than 40, 600
men.
Gen. Scott probably will remain here
until he knows that Gen. Obrebon is
nearing the meeting place at the bor-
dss. which, IT is believed. win not be
before the end of the week 1t was
suggested today at his temporary head
quarters at Fort Sam Houston that
Gen. Funston might accompany Gen.
Scott. in view of the intimation from
Mexico City that Gen. Obregon would
like to discuss affairs with Gen. Fun
ston, whom he met at the border last
year.
U. S. Concentration Continues.
The concentration of Gen. Pershins,s
men has continued. and today the puni-
tive forces are backed together In a
much shortened line. the two main
points of concentration at Casas
