When the fog cleared between 7 and 9 o'clock this morning the vessels of this squadron opened fire en the towns of Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool. A distance of about forty miles separate the first named port from the Inst. This stretch of coast Is something like 30i miles. British flotltlns are engaging these In- of West Hartlepool, off the mouth of the j Kiver Tees, urea upon the enemy. The official reports do not set forth the number of the attacking force, nor do they say whether the seaconst tryvna were fired upon simultaneously or on after another. The unofficial reports j reaching London by telephone were con futed and probably exaggerated. Fifty "hells la "rarbaroasrh.

Martin s church, which was damaged. A woman behind the counter of a shop was killed and her husband waa wounded. Messages from Hartlepool say the local gas work and tha lumber yards were set afire by tha shells of the German ships.' The estimate of the cangiltlcs at Hartle pool of nine people killed probably Is guess work and greatly exaggerated. Two Oerman warships threw thirty shells Into Whitby and wrecked several houses, according to a message from thla plaoe, and one civilian resident of Whitby died of a wound sustained dur ing the bombardment. The sound of ths Oerman guns waa heard at towns as far Inland a twenty-miles, according to some report. Hnar of Vsms Roasee People. People from Scarborough, aroused from their sleep by the Oerman shells, hurrlo.l In droves to the railroad station and boarded the flrat train for Hull, where they .circulated alarming stories ss to what waa happening on tha coast. Thousands of people witnessed the fir ing from Redcar, across the Tees hay from Hartlepool, according to a mesenge from that watering place. Several Oer man ships were engaged in the operation, and the fort to the north of the mouth of the river Teea replied to them. Red car reports also the belief that British ships engaged the hostile vessels. Scarborough la wholly nnrnrtiri. i oept for a small battery which Is popu larly believed to be obsolete. Whitby aleo Is unfortified, and Hartlepool has only a small fort at the mouth of the lees, out K is a large Shipping center, and therefore tempting to an Invading fleet Tlui ruined castle on tha cliff sou feet above the sea. together with the Grand hotel and the tower of tha municipal amusement hall, make Scarborough an easy target. Old (malt shelled. One report says that tha old caatla waa shelled. The Oerman vessels that con ducted this aaaault are 400 miles from me shelter of Helgoland, and the ad miralty report which say that the -situation to developing." gives the English peoi-ie uie nope that the raiders will not be able to escape. A rumor has been la circulation that two of the Oerman cruisers were sunk, but it lacks confirmation. The government took all telephone lines for official business soon after the raid occurred, consequently from the stand point of the publlo comraunlcatloa be tween London and the coast towns was temporarily Interrupted. The reports concerning the number of German ships engaged differ. On says that four ves eels shelled Scarborough, and another says three, whlls a third declares that only en was engaged In the operation. Threa ships were seen at HiHi.ni .. two at Whitby, according to the lattat messages. In London the news thst the civilian Inhabitants of unfortified towns should ba subjected to bombardment without notification was received even where with th greatest ai.ger. The public, however la entirely calm and there are no signs of excitement on the streets This U the first attack on the I nited Kingdom sine a small French force landed In Pembrokeshire jtw end waa captured.

The bombardment of cities on theeast coast of England by German cruisers In the first overt acj of the war against British territory. The British people have felt that their fleet In the North sea was sufficient to- render this possi bility very remote. The official announcement given out In I-ondon that the British flotilla have been engaged with the enemy Is evidence that there haa been a naval fight In the North sea. No knowledge a to the outcome Is at hand. The bombardment of Hartlepool and Scarborough would Indicate that the Germans have considerable liberty of action. Their dominance has been more than one naval encounter In the North sea, for tha British statement refers to engagements at various points. .Immediately on the .outbreak .of hos tilities the ' British fleet or at least a considerable portion of It, - supposedly took up positions on the eastern side of the North sea, by which the German warships were held In check In or close to their naval base at Wllhelmshafen, the mouth of the Elbe and elsewhere on the western coast of Germany. First Real Break In Patrol. This patrol has been maintained since early In August. It has from time to time bean penetrated by German submarine but so far a I known the Instance when German cruisers or battleships have broken the British line and emerged into the North tiea have been few and far between. Dispatches from Germany for ts much a a month past have Indicated in one way or another that the German were making preparations ht their sea bases for naval activity. Very little detail of what was going on has come out, never theless these messages led to the belief that tha German ship might soon at tempt some maneuver. The Kiel canal, runnli g from the North Pea to the Baltic, make it possible for Germany to contetitrate Its entire fleet In either on water or the other. By bring ing' through tlio canal such vessels as it may have used in th Baltio since the be ginning of the war, Germany could con centrate In the North tea virtually Its entire naval strength, exception being made, of course, of Its fast cruisers, which ancient origin, but modern prosperity. Scarborough Is finely situated In th form of an amphitheater on slopes rising from ths sea and terminated on the north and the south by abrupt cliffs.

These vessels, all told. do not exceed nine or ten and a number ! of them already have succumbed to tho ( vigilance of Germany's enemies. The Brit- i ish naval strength in thu North Sea Is, and haa been an unknown quantity. Ther I reason to believe, uowtver, that It Is formidable. Great Britain haa some war ship In the Mediterranean and during the last aix week It 1 evident that It detached rome of It ship for service In the south Atlantic to pursue German cruiser which hav been raiding com merce. Just how many vessels were as signed to this latter duty Is not definitely known.

STORES ARE SHOWING TOYS Business Establishments nt Chief (irrman City Offering Pmythlnga Orphans of the War Are BClnsr Provided For. (Correspondence of The Associated Press ) BERLIN, Nov. 25.-The stores of the city already have begun to snnounce a message of comfort for the little people This message Is that, despite war. em bargo and hard times, Santa Claus la expected to put In his appearance at the usual time. He may not bring quite ao much in his pack as in past years, but ho will brlntr somethlnj? and there Is ground for rejoicing In that, for thous ands of persons had feared that Chrlst mns this year would mean nothing more thon two figures on the calendar. The Christmas trade hss begun, some what our Her than usunt, since sc many persons know that the flelar post, with the best intentions In the world will ned all the time It can get to bring gifts to the soldiers In the field. A war time feature Is the opening of an elaborate exposition of "what the soldier needs in tho field." There Is a surprising range of things that must have been manufactured since the war began, going from condensed foods and drinks to elaborate sleeping sack and Include literally hundred of nngenlou devices to. make the field duty of the soldier more comfortable. A round of the larger store shows th regnar ante-Christmas stock of military pictures In all departments. Perhaps the only difference Is In the stocks of mili tary toys, which are rather larger than usual. Ilegiment upon regiment of toy soldiers appear, all uniformed In the new 'Held gray" nnd drums, guns, swords, liny uniforms, cuirasses and soldier caps, always prominent In the toy department, took up more space than in peace time. A larger portion of the books deal also with the war. Rnelnesa Is Good. Business, too. Is good, according to the verdict of the principal stores, ot the city. Carloads of Christmas trees, firs, pines snd balsams have been arriving for sev eral days and evergreen trimmings are beginning to appear . in shop windows. The Idea of the Christmas tree came from Germany and no home would think of being without one on Christmas, whether there are any presents to ac company It or not. In one respect, it mill be more nearly like the old-fashioned Christmas than for many years. There will be more home made toys, garments, e., and domestic fruit will take the plaoe ot various trcpiral products, which are either very dear or not to be had at all. Provision Is being msde for the thous ands of homes desolated by the war. Relief associations are springing up every where to see that the orphans of the war shall not be forgotten. It will, of course, be a sad Christmas. That can not be helped, but whatever can be done to make It less sad Is being done. ' HYMENEAL Jaraeneen-M artla. AVOCA, Neb.. Dec. Hi. rpeclal.
