WOMEN/INDCHILOREN i KILLED BY SHELLS j [Continued From First Page] were unable to train their Runs on the | wireless station on the heights. However, the big resort hotels on the esplanade and the old town of ; fered tempting targets and a rain of ! shrapnel and lyddite shells began to fall in this section, doing great dam i age to the hotels and destroying ! houses and shops in the poorer dis • tricts. A woman in one of these shops ! was literally blown to pieces. Hospital Bombarded I One of the light cruisers seemed to Ibe doing most of the firing. First ! she let go with her stern guns and : then, maneuvering further out, de voted her broadsides to the most ; conspicuous buildings on the highet Kround. As the result of this bom bardment three shells found a target in the Scarborough Hospital, one tear- I ing a chimney from the roof, another | striking the nurses' quarters and the third demolishing the ornamental fa ! cade above the entrance. The wall of i the old castle, which looks formidable I but which has been unoccupied for I hundreds of years, was breached by | an eight-inch shell. ! The gunners got the correct eleva j tion of the wireless station but failed I to injure it, most of the shells falling ! in an adjacent Held, the turf of which j was completely ploughed up by them. Some of the better class of resi dences began to suffer, one of the first being the home of Russell Rea, member of Parliament for the dls | trict. His life and that of his wife were saved by the fact that they had j gone down for an early breakfast and 'were in the kitchen, the only part of | the house untouched, the rest being a total wreck. At the same time a small | house occupied by a soldier, his wife land their child and nephew was struck by an explosive shell, reducing the place to kindling wood and killing the whole family. Seoond More Violent Tlio bombardment had now been on for fifteen minutes and the town was Riven a five-minute breathing spell. The streets were cleared of people when the light cruiser, after turning, brought a new broadside into play. The German squadrort then faced what looked like a deserted city. The gun ners directed their attention to the railroad station with the result that a whole row of houses, including a church in a nearby street, were wreck ed, but without loss of life, and the occupants had sought refuge, this sec ond bombardment was more violent than the first but did less damage. At the expiration of this second fifteen-minute period of firing the warships drew off in a northerly direc tion and when the people of Scarbor ough again heard the booming of the dreaded guns at 9 o'clock, the town of Whitby, up the coast, was the victim. During the early stage of the bom bardment the screeching shells caused an indescribable pandemonium, later the people became still as death under the thunder of <the guns which rose to a tumultous crescendo when the full broadsides were used. Infant Wounded When the ships drew off th« sad search for killed and wounded began. At the hospital, when the wounded be gan to arrive, the large entry hall witnessed many pitiable scenes as anxious relatives awaited the result of the surgeon's examination'. Among the wounded were many women and children, an infont of four months hav ing its skull fractured by a shrapnel while In its mother's arms, who es caped unscathed. A surgeon at the hospital al»®< had a marvelous escape when the casing of an eight-inch shell burrowed into the ground at his feet. The military authorities, assisted by the police, directed the exodus of the townspeople from the city. Women were favored with seats on the trains withtbe result that but few men de parted from the town. The pathetic helplessness of the refugees brought home the reality of war to this part of England. Many poor pople whose homes were de stroyed sought refuge in nearby towns. Crowds of these waited about the sta tion, thinking that the scenes of the morning were about to be re-enacted. Policeman Carries Shell One of the first notices posted In structed citizens to bring to the police station all unexpioded shells. Among such finds was a live eight-inch ex plosive projective, which was hastily put into a bucket of water when a policeman strolled in with it careless ly tucked under his arm. By' nightfall the town bore an out ward appearance of calm, but anxious groups lingered about the streets. Many of the persons in these groups were unspairing in their ex pressions of resentment because the town was helpless to retaliate on the raiders. ONE SHELL KILLED NINE AT HARTLEPOOL [Continued Prom First Page] bola, detained since the outbreak of the war, which was completely pierc ed by a shell. At West Oarth in the engineering works two workmen were killed and throe other persons were killed in the streets. Old Woman Killed Tn Dover street, West Hartlepool, which is right in the heart of the busi ness center, a shell carried away the entrance of a cottage and killed the occupant, an old woman named Mrs. Moon. Shells fell indicriminately in all parts of the towns. Special con stables were called out and ambulance men and doctors were quickly on the scene. Not a moment was lost in giv ing aid to the wounded. The firing is said to have been very accurate. In 'one case a single shell killed nine men and In another in stance three men were killed and eleven wounded. Another shell killed a whole family and there are many instances where several persons in a house were killed together. The populace is quiet and has evi dently been reassured bp the procla mation of the mayor of West Hartle pool, councillor Fryer, requesting the civil population to keep to their houses as far as possible for the present.

The heaviest losses j were In Hartlepool, where, the British | information bureau announces, fifty five persons were killed and 115 wounded. Unofficial reports give the casualties in Scarborough as li killed nnd 30 wounded ond in 'Whitby as 2 killed and 2 wounded. The success of the Germans in mak ing their way past the line of British warships and through mine fields and escaping after the bombardment leads Kngland to expect another attack, preparations for which are under way. Berlin is elated and the newspapers there hint that yesterday's exploit may be the prelude to greater events on the seas. New Plan t'nfoldcil Germany's new plan for the op erations against the Russian armies ii unfolding gradually. Petrograd dis patches say that, the Austro-German flanking operations in the Carpathian Mountains and on the Vistula are be ing conducted on a large scale, and that, they threaten Russian lines of communication. Such importance is attached to these maneuvers that ap parently Germany is willing to risk an invasion by the Russian armies In the south, withdrawing troops from that region for use on the battlefields west of Warsaw. An official statement from Vienna says that in Oalicia and South ern Poland the Russians are retreating along the entire front and aro being pursued. Russia's Caucasian army is having frequent encounters with the Turks, but official statements are at such vari ance that it is difficult to form an opinion as to what is happening. The Russian general staff states that the Turks, reinforced, assumed the offen sive in the Van region, Armenia, hut were beaten decisively. The Turkish statement says that these battles "re sulted in our favor." RUSSIAN CRIJISKI* SINKS SMALL SHIPS OFT' BEIRUT By Associated Press London, Dec. 17, 6.10 a. m.—A dis patch from Constantinople via Am sterdam gives the following Turkish official statement: "Several days' battle near the Vala |yet of Van has ended i n our favor and I our troops have entered Sari. "A British cruiser unsuccessfully bombarded a Turkish watch tower be tween Jappa and Gaza in Palestine on the Mediterranean. "The Russian cruiser Askold sank two small ships off Beirut, Syria. "The loss of the old battleship Mes sudieh, after a final examination, must be attributed to a floating mine or to a torpedo." FRENCH USER IS SAFE By Associated Press New York, Dec. 17.—The French Line steamer Floride, more than a week overdue, concerning whose safe ty caused much apprehension, report- Ed by wireless 100 miles east of Sandy Hook at 7.15 o'clock this morning. The Floride has aboard thirty-nine passengers. BRITISH SQUADRON OPENS ATTACK ON TURKISH FORCES By Associated Press Athens, via London, Dec. 17, 11.15 a. m.—A British squadron has bom barded Turkish troops who had con centrated Sunday on the coast of the Gulf of Saros, the arm of the Aegean Sea north of the Dardanelles. This information was received here to-day in a dispatch from Mytilene. Details are lacking. Artist-Princess Is Financially Embarrassed ll'., I W■ F I\\ IU vGH V New ork, Dec. 17.—Princess Lwoff Parla>;hy, famed alike for her artistic ability with brush and palette and for her regal manner of living, has de parted from the Hotel Plaza and Is now said to be sharing more modest quarters with a friend on Riverside Drive. The war god has no respect for the incomes of royalty, it appears. The princess, who was understood to have an income of SBO,OOO a year when she took her palatial apartment at the Plaza a few years ago, seems to be in arrears to the hotel fur about $12,000.
