ENGLISH PORTS SHELLED WERE DEFENDED PLACES Contention- of Military Attache - of German Embassy at Washington, New York, Dec. 17—That Hartle- pool, Scarborough and Whithy; the three English towns which were bom- barded by German warships yester- day, are defended places and that, BOMBARDED ENGLISH TOWNS ARE IN NORMAL CONDITION Beyond 'Grisf for Relatives and Friends Everything Is Natural. 4 London, Dec, 17, 955 p. m—The People of the English coast towns of Scarborough, The Hartlepools and Whitby, which yesterday were bom- ‘barded by German cruisers, resumed their ordinary occupations today. The only difference discerned in the reg- ular routine of the season of the year was the arrival of crowds of cameras bearing tourists, which reminded the residents of the summer influx, the return of those who had fled on the first sound of the firing, and busy mechanics who were early at work repairing the damage done by the shells. The mayor of Scarborough placard- ed_the walls of the city with posters advising the people to keep cool, but this was hardly necessary. Beyond the grief for the loss of friends and neighbors and the little pride &:phyed at the attention they attraci the citizens seemed to be going about their business in quite 8 natural way and it will not be long before all marks of the damag done by the gun fire will be removed. The attitude of the people of Eng- land 1s much-the same as that of the bombarded towns. There are no signs of udiancn: and the only effect the | bombardment has had is man that naturalized Sk . on 1s respectfully called to article 1 of Hague convention of October 18, 1907 which- says: SURVIVORS OF NORWEGIAN STEAMER SUNK BY MINE Four Were Found by Trawler and Brought Into Grimsby. e little boom in recrulting been slackening owl: the approach of Christmas, | ¢ I e AN INCREASED EARNINGS FOR NEW HAVEN .ROAD Second Week of December Shows Bet- ter Than the First, : Grimsby is about 55 miles South -of Scarborough, the southernmost of the | 117" : crulsers Wednesday. . 4 = : At & moeting of the New York, On- The Vatren was o steamer of o64 | 1270 and Western rail —_— 82 PERSONS KILLED, 2830 WOUNDED AT i_i:lAl'l'l-m, Latest Official Estimate of Casuaities Resulting from Bombardment.

London, Dec. 17, 1050 p. m.—"The Russians are retiring along the entire fropt in Galicia and Poland.” This statement, officlally issued at Vienna, is.the outstanding feature of tonight's news from the battle fronts. While_tliere is no confirmation of this from other sources, such a move on the part of the Russians would be quite in line with the announcements in despatches from Petrograd that the Russians_threatened on both flanks, had décided to take up new positions where they would better be able to meet the onslaughts, which are being launched against them by the Austro- Germans from the Carpathians to the East Prussian frontier. Should the Austro-German armies, as on previous occaslons, follow the ussians into Poland, another big bat- fo will soon be in progress which may decide whether the Germans are to get to Warsaw or whether the Rus- sians are agaln to threaten an inva- slon of Germany. 3 The delay of the’ Russians in ful- filling expectations that they would prove a serious menace to Gergan territory is a disappointment to the peoples of the allied countries, but military men express the view sthat it is better for Russia that she should meet her foes In her own territory, where the means of communjcation would be more on en equality. NEW EFFORT TO SAVE LIFE OF LEO M. FRANK Was Begun in Federal District Court at Atlanta, Ga, Atlanta,” Ga.. Dec. 17.—A new effort to save the life of Leo M. Frank, sen- tenced to be hanged January 22 for the murder of l4-year-old Mary Pha- gan, was begun in federal distri court here today. Attorneys for Fran! filed a petition for his release on a habeas corpus writ, on the ground that he was convicted .without due process of law and is being detained illegally. If the petition is denied, the attorneys said, appeal will pe taken direct to the United States supreme court. The petition alleges that the prison- er'’s constitutional rights were violated by return of a verdict during his ab- sence from the courtroom; that the Jjury was influenced by popular dem- onstrations and that the trial court, therefore, lost jurisdiction in the case before a “conviction was reached.” Federal Judge Newman announced that he would hear argument on the petition Saturday.

Whole City Flashed Into Bunting ‘When Announcement Was Made, Berlin, via London, Dec. 17, 1110— The people of Berlin were aroused to enthusiasm today over the announce- ment of 2 great Austro-German vic- tory over the Russians in Poland. Am official bulletin to this effect was Is- sued shortly after roon and within half an hour extra editions fo the pa- pers appeared and the whole city I erally flashed into bunting.
