London." Dec. 18,-10:35 pini. -For
the first tithe in centuries, Hovland
bas been struck hy it foreign toe. A
squadron of swift German cruisers
es ept through the fog last night to the
eastern [wast and turned their cons
against the Britons.
%Veen day broke they began the
bowlaudm•rot of Ihre. important
towns -Hartlepool, at the mouth 01
the Tees : Whitby, 35 miles south-
ward, and Scarborough, noted as •
pleasure resort, fifteen miles beyond.
Hartlepool Suffered Most.
Hartlepool suffered most. There
two battle cruisers and an armored
cruiser were engaged, and at this place
the greatest In.. of life occurred. The
British War Office fixes the oowher;of
dyad at Hartlepool as seven soldient
and 'Ll civilians, and the Wounded at
fourteen soldiers and fifty civilian*.
At `lcartenrough, where a battle
cruiser and an armored cruiser
shelled the town, thirteen casualties
are reported, while at Whitby two
were killed and two woucded.
Men. women and children, of the
civilian population, were left dead or
wounded -struck without warning
while at breakfast or et work. In a11,
the ceaunity list totals 110, according
to the official statement, of which :11
are known to be dead.
Terse Churches Damaged.
Three churches were damaged ; the
gas works and lumber yards at ilert-
l.pool were set afire ani the Abbey at
Whitby was atrurk. The Balmoral
Hotel at. Scarborough received the
full effects of a *bell, ands number of
houses and shops were .battered and
partly burned in each of the towns.
The hostile squadron escaped in the
mist atter an encounter witb coast-
guard vessels patrolling the neighbor-
hood, which were reinforced es soon
as the presence of the Germans was
signalled.
Eagland Is Indignant.
A wave of intense anger has spread
over England because of the attack.
and bitter denunciation is beard every-
where ole policy which permits tbe
shelling A undefended towns. The
fortress at the mouth of the lees is
supposed to give some protection to
tbe importsat shipping base ot Hartle-
pool, but Whitby and Scarborough
are as open to the enemy as is Atlantis
City on the New Jersey twist.
Scarborough, witb its old wtle- on

hotels on the waterfront, Arabella' •

Pursuit Impossible.
In a dirert line the mouth of the
Tees is about th,ee hundred and fifty

German naval base in the North Sea.
The British Admiralty says the Ger-

They chow, a night when a thick

hours before dark, and as they started
to return about nine o'clock there still
remained about seven hours of day-

THE CHRISTMAS SIGNAL.

fore with attractive announcements,
and we bespeak for them the close at-
tention of the purchesiog public. At
this season the advertisements are al-
most the most interesting feature of •
newspaper, and The Christmas Signal
his a good line of them. They ere pub-
lished for the gnidnnce of the Signal
readers, and we trust they will he care-
fully read and that the advertisers -
the men who invite business --will re-
eeeve the hull benefit of their enter-
prise.
