CITY ON ENGLISH
COAST SHELLED
Yarmouth Attacked During NIGHT
by German Nava! Forces
Damage Slight.
Three Three DEAD, ten HURT
Identity Of Raidins Craft Unknown
Believed Submarine With Heavy
Gun-May Have Been Cruiser
Foes Fire Rapidly.

London, Jan. 16-Yarmouth has
oeen bombarded from the sea during
the night, Lord French. director Of
home defense. reported.
Twenty shells we're hurled into the
port.
Three were killed and ten injured.
The damage was not serious, Lord
French declared
Attack Lasts Five Minutes.
The bombardmcnt continued for five
minutes. The fusiilade was carried
out with extraordinary rapidity. Shells
mouth and many roofs and chimneys
were smashed.
Star Shell Lights Town.
The Germans carried out their bonn.
bardment with careful system. The
first shell fired was star shell, the
light from which vividly showed the
town below it. Then came the hurt.
ling salvo of shells.
The German craft was believed to
be cne of the largest and newest types
OF German submarines or a cruiser.
Statement Lacks Details.
The official statement does not spe.
city whether the guns with which the
seaport was bombardod were those OF
a German cruiser or submarine but
the latter appears most likely.
Germany's super.submarines carry
comparatively powerful guns.
Yarmouth is in county of Norfolk on
the east coast of England. 10 miles
east of Norwich. 1t is popular water
ing places and has extensive dock
yards.

Transports Aided to List of Es.
sentia;s That Must Be Sup.
piled With Fuel.
FACTORIES TO CLOSE
HousehQIders to Get First Relief.
Less Essential Industries Last
Plants In East Must Give
Up Stocks.

Washington, Jan. 15.-Fuel Admin.
i>trator Garfield has added ships
transporting supplies to Europe to the
list of essentials that must be sup.
piled coal. They were put ahead
even Of war industries, after reports
were received that million tons of
shipping is held at New York for a
lack of bunkers.
The shortage in the New York
area is due to the railroad tieup.
William G. McAdoo, director general
Of transportation. also took drastic
steps to afford relief.
llisregarding all other demands,
the railroads in this district were di.
rected to move coal for households
and food and coal for the bunkers
of European bound munition ships.
The storm conditions responsible
for the tie-up are described by rail-
road officials as the worst in 50
years.
Smith Urges Drastic Action.
The director generals action was
taken following conversation over
the telephone with A. II. Smith, as.
sistant to the director general in
charge of transportation in the
Northwest.
Mr.. Smith recommended getting
service. "even if manufacturing in
dustries close down for a few days
until the effect of this storm can be
cleared away, and working room be
afforded"
MIR. A1cAdoo's action also followed
long conference of the war council
at the War department. With little
prospect of a relief from the blizzard
conditions. representatives of the
War and Navy Departments, the
Shipping board. Councils of Defense,
Food and Fuel administrations. dis.
cussed the greatest needs facing
the country at the present time.
A general plan of coal distribution
designed to relieve the East, as out.
lined by DR.. Garfield, gives prefer.
ence first to .louseholders; second,
to public utilities supplying light and
heat; third, to ships transporting
food and war materials to the Am.
erican army and to the Allies; fourth.
to war industries, and fifth, total!
ether classes Of industry.
The program will be put into force
with the aid of state fuel administra.
tors. 1t will apply probably to all the
states east of the Mississippi.
