land was struck last week by a foreign
foe. A squadron of swift Getman
cruisers crept through the fogone
night last woe k to the eastern
coast and turned their guns against
the Britons.
When day broke the.' began bombarding
three important towns?
Hartelpool, at the mouth of th Tees,
Whitby, J>5 mil s t vkkwerh and
Scarborough, nc *< 1 a5 pleasure resort,
15 miles beyond.
Hartlepool . n.ffcvc 1 d Thev
two battle cri'.i; mu an er d
cruiser wcr * < r.-vred. The British
war office frees no number of bead
at Hartlep' ! as seven soldiers an!
22 civilians and the wounded at 14
soldiers an 1 50 civilians.
At Scarborough, sk lied by baJtlo
cruiser and an armored cruise!', :
casualties are reported, v'.ile at
Whitby two were killed and throe
wounded.
Over Hundred Casualties.
Men women and children or the
civilian population were left dead or
wounded, struck without warning;
while at work. In all the casualties
list totals 110, acocrding to the official
estimates, of whom 111 are known
to be dead.
At Hartlepool churches were damaged
and the gas works and lumber
yards were set afire, while at Whitby
the abbey was struck. The Balmoral
hotel at Scarborough received the full
effects of a shell. A number of
houses and shops were shattered and
partly burned in each of the towns.
The hostile squadron escaped in the
mist after an encounter with coast
guard vessels.
The official account of the attack,
as issued by the press bureau, fol-l
lows:
"This morning a Gorman cruiser
force made a demonstration upon the
Yorkshire co.es! in the course of which'
they shelled Hartlepool, Whitby andi
Scarborough.
"A number of their fastest ship' '
were employed for this purpose and
they remained about an hour on the
coast.
"They were engaged by patrol vessels
on the spot. As soon as the presence
of the enemy was reported a
British petroling sour. Iron endeavored
to cut them off. On being sighted
by the British ves ^ols, the German re- j
tired at full speed and favored by the
mist made their escape.
"The lossec on both sides are small
but full reports have not yet been
received.
"The admiralty takes the opportunity
of pointing out that demonstra-!
lions of this character, against unfor-;
lifted towns or commercial ports,;
though not difficult to accomplish
provided a certain amount of risk is
accepted, are devoid of military significance.
"They may cause some loss of life
among civilian population and some
damage to property, which is much
to be regretted, but they must not in
any circumstances be allowed to
modify the general naval policy which
is being pursued."
Except for the working people the
English are late risers during the
short winter days. The bombardment
occurred between 8 and 9 o'clock, an
hour when many persons were at
breakfast, while others were on their
way to work or were opening their
shops.
Went to Watch.
The booming of heavy gun* off the]
three towns drew hundreds to the
beaches. They had no thought of a
German raid, but when shells came
crashing over their heads and into
the quiet streets they dashed forj
shelter. OfT shore the German guns|
did rapid work, the flashes coming
incessantly and the shells finding a
mark among the buildings. Many residents
took refuge in cellars. Others
rushed from their houses, among them
women and children in their night
clothes, and not a few sought the railway
stations, leaving on the first
trains.
The Hartlepool land batteries returned
the German fire and are reported
to have damaged some <>r the
cruisers. Several shells from the war
ships burst among the Royal Jvogineers
and Hurham Light Infantry
and it was among these troops that
the casualties of seven killed and 14
wounded occurred.
A dispatch from Stoekton-on-Tces
BWr
to the Exchange Telegraph Company
t "The cllVct of the bombardment at
HHprllcpool v:as that SO persons were
killed and 100 injured. At West
Hartlepool 20 persons were killed and
many injured.
"Shells passed through the Baptist
church at Hartlepool and or her
churches were damaged.
Will Help Recruiting
The general belief in London is that
the German attack will give impetus
to recruiting. Today was one of eager
waiting after the admiralty bulletin j
was issued shortly before noon, saying:
"Our flotillas have at various points
been engaged. The situation is developing."
Various rumors were heard. One
was that two German cruisers had
been sunk. Many thought the long
expected general naval engagement
between the British and German fleet
was progressing and that the shelling

The admiralty's report issued at
9:30 o'clock tonight giving the news
that the German ships had eluded
pursuit and were returning safely to
their home waters, caused keen disappointment.
Naval writers express the opinion
tlu: six of eight .ships were engaged!
Tar G< rmans have available for such
an attack the armored cruisers
f?!u' her, Roon, Crinz Adclbert, Prinz
H'dn ich and Prinz Prederick Karl
1 n<; more than 20 cruisers of a small-1
or class.

VALUE OF A CHILD'S GIFTS
Those Made With Their Own Hands
Teach Good Lessons and
Give Inspiration.
If we stop to think about our
Christmas giving we realize that a
Km uu'uiiH more io me giver than it
does to him who receives. If it is
given in the proper spirit tlie donor
finds out to the full that it is. really
"more blessed to give than to receive,"
a fact that is lost sight of in
an age of the commercial spirit.
With children there is a great educative
value in their present giving
if it. is encouraged to he really their
own giving. If the mother, however,
simply prepares some little remembrance,
and says "Mary, this is your
Christmas present to Aunt Ellen," the
gift has no meaning in the thoughts
of the young giver. And not only
has it no meaning, but it becomes
actually harmful for the reason it presents
the idea to the child that the
gift without the giver is really a gift.
And the child lias put no thought or
self sacrifice into the giving of that
present.
On the other hand, if the child be
given pocket money which it may considor
its very own, or, better still, if
it is enabled to earn pocket money and
Is then encouraged to set aside a por:ion
of its very own money for pres4
? 1..'. n. - J -1 - " *
:ni iiiuiviiig uie uiea ot irue giving is
required. The sacrifice, the fore:hought,
the love necessary to make a
gift a real gift are there.
The home-made gifts of children
lave many valuable lessons to teach
:he young givers. Many lessons in
sowing, raffia, bead-work or painting
nay be given under the guise of makng
a gift. In one family, where the
?lder sister had never made gifts,
ind really never learned to sew well
intil she was eighteen years of age,
;he younger sifter, a girl of ten, inspired
by the example of a small
'riend, wished to make birthday gifts
'or her family. Once she asked her
nother to teach her how to crochet;
mother time to scallop, and before
die was twelve years old she had be ome
as proficient a little seamstress
is one would want to see.
Thus practical lessons are learned,
-vhile the child is inspired with the
dea that "Not what we give, but
vliat we share; the gift without tlio
;iver is bare."
