Mystery How Mincs Were Evaded. How the Germans evaded all the mines and patrols remains somewhat of a mystery, although experts recall that in manoeuvres British ships per- formed the same feat in the compar- atively small space between England and the Scilly Islands, which, however, was not mined. The cadmiralty. report announces that -such demonstrations are not . difficult to_ace h, but®the Deople géner- ally ‘che; such a great confidence in the protectien of the British navy that the inbabitauts of the coast towns made no_serfous preparations to meet a bombardment. Except for the working pepple, the English are apt to be late risers dir- ing the short winter days: People Were at Breakfast. The bombardment by the German cruisers occurred between 8 and 9 o'clock and many people were at breakfast; others were on their way to_work or were opening their shops, The.booming of heavy guns off the three towns drew hundreds of people to the beaches. They had no thought of a German raid, but when shells came crashing over their heads and into the guiet streets, the people made a dash for shelter. Off shore the Ger- man guns did rapid work, the flashes coming incessantly and the shells find- ing a mark among the buildings. Many of the residents took refuge in the cel- lars, others rushed from their houses, among them women and children in their night clothes and not a few sought the railway stations and de- parted on the first trains out. Cruisers Hit and Damaged. The guns of the land batteries at Hartlepool replied to the German fire and are reported to have hit and dam- aged some of the cruisers. Several shells from the warships burst among the royal engineers, and Durham light infantry and it was among these troops that the casualties of seven killed and fourteen wounded occurred. ‘The general belief in London is that he German attack will give impetus to reecruiting, as it will show the coun- try what the war means. Today was one of:eager waiting after the admir- alty bulletin was issued shortly be- fore neon. saying: “Our flotillas have at various points been engaged. The situation is de- veloping.” = Rumors of Naval: Engagements. Rumors of spread mouth. The first was that two Ger- man had been sunk. Many thought that the long expected general naval engagement between the British and German fleets was progressing and that the shelling of the coast towns was merely incidental to this. to their home waters, cau keen disappoint- ment, . % 3 Naval writers express the opinion that six or eight ships were engaged. The Germans have available for such an attack the armored cruisers Bleu- cher, Roon, Prinz _Adalbert, Prinz Helnrich and Prinz Friedrich Karl and more than twenty cruisers of a small- er clase.. » Comments by Lendon Times. The Times, discussing what it terms indiscriminate shelling: of unfortified towns, refers to.the statement of Count Frnst Von Reventlow, the German naval expert, that “we must see clearly that in order to fight with success we and in the patience of the Britich is as long as the summer day, but their arm is as ag the winter night.’ ; no genuine military the royal navy is to engage - stroy the ememy’s ships and that this purpose will be inflexibly pursued, de- spite all subtle temptations to abandon it for other objects.
