The European ^ Gcriiuuis Shell British Towns. landon, Dec. 16.-The Yorkshire Evening News reports that two Ger man cruisers were sunk In to-day's engagement and that thc Rritish flo tilla was damaged. The Evening Standard's Hartle pool correspondent says of the Ger man raid on the English coast: "Two German warships are believ ed to have been sunk. The captain of a ketch lying off Saltburn says he .saw three jL?erman ships engaged. Ono of these was blown up, mother bolt ed ?'ind the third was still fighting." First Time to Suffer. London, Dec. 16.-For the first time in modern history, English towns have suffered from the attack of a foreign enemy. A German squadron, the size of which ls not yet known, crept upon tho northeast coast of England dur ing the darkness of a misty night. When the fogs cleared between 7 and 9 o'clock this morning the vessels oi>oned lire on the towns of Scarbor ough, Whitby and Hartlepool. A distance of about 4 0 miles separates the first named pori from the last. This stretch of coast is about 200 miles long. British flotillas engaged the Invad ers, and the fortress of West Hartle pool, off the mouth of the River Tees, fired upon the enemy. Official reports do not reveal the number of the attacking force, nor do they say whether the seacoast towns were fired upon simultaneously or one after another. Fifty Shells Landed. An eye-witness at the seaside re sort of Scarborough estimates 50 shells landed in thc town, enveloped it in smoke, and destroyed the Bal moral hotel, a number of houses and tho railroad station. One of the ob jectives of the attack was St. Mar tin's church, which was damaged. A woman behind the counter of a shop was killed, and her husband was woun ded. Messages from Hartlepool say the local gas works and the lumber yards were set afire by the shells of the German ships. The estimate of the casualties at Hartlepool--nine people killed-probably is guess work and greatly exaggerated. Two German ships threw 30 shells into Whitby and wrecked several houses, according to a message from that place, and one civilian resident Of Whitby died of a wound. The sound of the German gulls was heard at towns as far inland as 2 0 miles, according to some reports. People Fled in Droves. People from Scarborough hurried in droves to the railroad station and hoarded Hie first train for Hull, where they circulated alarmist stories as to what was happening on the coast. Thousands of people witnessed the firing from Redcar, across Tees Ray from Hartlepool, according to a mes sage from that watering place. Seve ral German ships were engaged and the fort north of the mouth of the River Tees replied. Scarborough is wholly unfortified, except for a small battery, popularly believed to be obsolete. Whitby also is unfortified, and Hartlepool has only a small fort, hut it is a large shipping center and tempting to an invading fleet. Tho ruined castle on the cliff 300 feet above the sea, together with the Grand Hotel and the tower of the municipal amusement hall, make Scarborough an easy target. One re jK>rt says the old castle was shelled. Russians on Retreat. Vienna, Dec. 17.-An official an nouncement says the Russians are re treating along the entire front in Ga lacia and Roland. A great battle is in progress at Sochacz?W, 30 miles west of Warsaw. The German wedge, which is pro ceeding in a southeasterly direction from How, has managed, after heavy fighting, tn which serious losses are reported to have been inflicted, to es tablish itself a quarter of a mile west of Sochaczow. The Polish campaign now centers at that point. The German column was met at Sochaczow by fierce resistance by the Russians, Fighting was extremely sovere, sometimes hand-to-hand en counter. Artillery fire was heavy and continuous. Reinforcements are being poured in rapidly on both sides. The Rus sians aro bringing in troops from Warsaw, while the Germans are mov ing forces from the Lodz region. Notwithstanding the conflicting na ture or reports concerning the char acter of German operations, it is evi dent their manoeuvres, which, ac cording to some reports, include as many as five army corps, aro being conducted along a line to the north of Lowltz. Defeat, of Russians Claimed. Washington. Doc. 17.-One of the greatest victories of the war ls claim ed to-day by Germany. The norlin /ar Day by Day. officiai statement contains these words: "Tho Russian offensive against Si lesia and Rosen has completely bro ken down. In the whole of Poland the enemy was forced to retreat after fierce and stubborn frontal battles, and is being pursued everywhere." A semi-official statement from Berlin speaks confidently of the east ern situation, and says the Austrians appear to have achieved their first ac tual successes against the Russians in the last few days, in western Ga licia. Petrograd admits the Ger man flanking movements threaten the Russian iln^s of communication, and that lt has been necessary for the Russians to draw back their lines in cortain sections, but it gives no inti mation of such reverses as are re ported from Berlin. lu Belgium ami France. The great battle in Belgium and Northeastern France ls the subject of conflicting claims. The German war office announces all allies have made new attacks, but they have been beaten back with heavy losses. The French Statement says several Ger man trenches in Belgium have been captured by lnfatnry assaults, and that at other points to the south and east the allies' artillery has done ef fective work. Four steamers were sunk by mines off the east coast of England, in ike territory covered yesterday by the raiding German warships, which were said In England to have scat tered mines to cover their retreat. Austrians Shatter Russians. Vienna, Dec. 17.-The following official communication was issued to day: "The latest news permits of no fur ther doubt that tn? resistance of the Russian main force has been scat tered. After the defeat of the south ern wing in the battle of Limanovo, which lasted several days, our allies also gained a vi tory near Lodz. "The Russians aow are completely routed on the river Bzura. "Threatened by our advance across the Carpathians from the south, the enemy began a general retreat, which they are trying to cover by stubborn fighting in the regions before the Carpathians. "Our troops are attacking on the line of Grodno-Zakliczyu. "Along the other parts of the front the pursuit has begun." German Trenches Taken. Paiis, Dec. 7.-The French war of fice gave out the following official statement to-day: "Between the sea and the Lys we have occupied several German tronches at the point of the bayonet; consolidated our positions at Loni baertzyde and St. Georges, and or ganized the territory taken from the enemy to the west of Cheluvelt "We have made progress at some points in the region of Ver mel les. "There has been no infantry ac tion along the remainder of the front, but we report very effective shooting on the part of our heavy artillery in the environs of Tracy-le-Val, on the Aisne, and in Champagne, as well as in the Argonne and in the region of Verdon. "In Lorraine and in Alsace there is nothing to report." Allies Claim Steady Progress. London, Dec. 18.-German armies which invaded France and Belgium are said by the allies to be yielding slowly but steadily. To-day's offi cial French statement, like its recent predecessors, reports victories here and there along the battle line. It is stated that the allies have made fur ther advance in Belgium, although the report that they had captured Westende, near Nieuport, on the Bel gian coast, was not confirmed. Seve ral German trenches have been taken, it is also stated, although the admission ls made that the Germans blew up a French trench in the Ar gonne. The ( ?crinan war office denied t hal further ground had been won by the allies. It states that French at tacks have been repulsed and that in the Argonne 7,r>00 prisoners were captured. Russians in Full Retreat. Again the Germans and the Aus trians seem to be on th? ",vr>r.i of :? wave of battle as the Interminable struggle in the east continues; again Berlin is gay with flags and again Petrograd declines to concede vic tory to tho invaders. Berlin and Vienna contend, however, that the Russians are falling back along the entire front, from the Baltic to the Carpathians, with tho ltfvndlng cen ter less than :?0 miles from Warsaw. To the south, where a few weeks ago Russians were pouring over the Carpathians Into Hungary, comlblned Ausl ro-German columns have now forced thom back through the panses, and lt is asserted have advanced two thirds of the way across Galicia and are nearing the fortress of Ilmberg, occupied by the Russians early in the (?ali.'ian campaign. The Russian official announce ments admit none of this. They dismiss 'tiie happenings in Galicia as engagements of no importance, and class the operations to the west of Warsaw in the same category, lt is claimed, however, that the extreme Russian right near Mlawa lias thrust tho Germans hack and that Russian cavalry has swung across the south ern border of Bast Prussia. HriMsh ships Sunk by Germans. London, Dec. 18.-An Amsterdam dispatch contains a German official statement, which claims that some of the British destroyers, which at tacked the German raiding squadron off the British coast, were sunk. The communication follows: "The retreating cruisers were at tacked by four British destroyers, one of which was sunk. Another disappeared badly damaged. "At another point another English destroyer was sunk." Dead Austrians Cover Ground. Paris, Dec. 18.-In a dispatch from NMsh, Servia, the Havas corres pondent says the Servian authorities have re-established themselves in the vicinity of Podrinie, where the Aus trian troops surrendered to them. Prisoners affirm that "the Austrian losses in the recent engagements in killed and wounded have been very large and they exceed the losses in prisoners. i?o'vv casualties are shown by the innumerable unburied bodies of Austrian soldiers found on the line of their retreal. Loznitza, where there has been no fighting recently, was burned by the Austrians.

I., Dec. 17.-Forty men from the German cruiser Emden, who were left on the Cocos Island when the Australian cruiser Sydney forced the limden ashore, and de stroyed her, have captured a collier, mounted two Maxims on her and now are raiding commerce in the Pacific, according to a report received here. The report came through officers of the British steamer Malacca, just arrived at Jolo, and has not been con tinued officially. The men of the Emden had gone ashore on the Cocos Island to dis mantle the wireless and tied when the Emden was destroyed. Headed by Lieut, von M neck, they left Cocos Island with a commandeered schooner and plenty of provisions, to gether with their own armed launch and two boats, according to the re port.

NEARLY STRUCK A MINK Cunard Liner Had Close Call off the North Coast of Ireland, New York, Deo. 16.-The big Cu narder Transylvania, In to-day from Liverpool with 366 passengers, had a narrow escapo from destruction. Karly December G, when, during a storm off tho north coast of Ireland, two mines, dashed together by waves, exploded about i!.", feet ahead of the steamer's bow. A fragment of steel from one of the mines shot across the liner's deck and tore away a part of tho railing. The explosion, it was said, lifted the liner's bow several feet out of water. The Transylvania left Liv erpool December 5, and a few min utes after 4 o'clock the next morning a terrific explosion shook the ship. The passengers rushed on deck. Oflleers told them what they had heard was a thunderclap. Then the passengers noticed the space torn out of the deck railing and one of them picked up a fragment of the mine. Among the passengers was Slr Chas. Allom, chairman of the British prisoners-of-war help committee. Ile said he came to the country to have a committee of Americans and neu trals appointed to investigate condi tions of the allies' soldiers in Cer n?an detention camps and military prisons. Tho committee, he said, proposed that remedial measures should be taken. A Test for Liver Complaint, Mentally Unhappy-Physically Dull.
