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.
AX EVENING THOUGHT
Days change so may things—yes,
hours,
We see so differently, in sun and
showers;
Mistaken words to-night
May be cherished by to-morrow's
light;
We will be patient—for we know
There's such a little way to go.

147 wounded, according to the best I
figures now available, in the raid on i
the east coast of England yesterday by |
German warships. 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

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

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.

The local police authorities, alter

lieved Frank G. Hohl, of this city, was
the robber, because of the method
used. Hohl robbed an Altoona bank,
was arrested, broke jail at Hollidays
burg, robbed a Homestead bank and
has since been at large. He was re
