“Queen of English Watering
Places'' Was Helpless Under
Guns of the German Squad
ron Shells Caused Pande
monium ---Thirteen Were Kill
ed, Twenty Wounded.
Scarborough, (via London, 8:16 a.
m ) —The "queer, of Knglifth watering
pinerr” had recovered today fr'>m the
unexpected bombardment but ill) feel
ink watt one of bitter anger at the
town's helplessness when under the
guns of the German squadron.
The first warning sound of distant
firing which attracted little attention
except from the military authorities
cainc at 6:30 in the morning At 8
o'clock three German war craft which
the majority of witnesses agree were
r.r>„ tinttle cruiser and two lighter !
cruisers, loomed out of a heavy fog
so close underneath the cliffs that
they were unable to train their guns
on the wireleaa station on the helghta.
Tempting Targets.
However, the big resort hotels on
Esplanade and the old town offered
tempting targets and a rain of shrap
nel and lyddite shells began to fall
in that section, damaging the hotels
and destroying houses and shops In
the poorer districts. A woman In ono
of those, shops was literally blown to
pieces.
One of the light cruisers seemed to
be doing most of the firing. First she
let go with her stern guns, then, man
euvering further out, devoted her
broadsides to the most conspicuous
building on the high ground. Three
shells found a target In (he Scarbor
ough hospital. The wall of the old
castle which looks formidable hut
which has been unoccupied for hun
dreds of years, was breached by an
8-lnch shell.
Wireless Station.
The gunners later got the correct
elevation of the wireless station, hut
failed to injure it.
Some of the better class of resi
dences then began to suffer, one of
the first being the home of Russell
Rea, mer ,>er of parliament for the
district. Ills life and that of Ills wife
were saved by the fact that they had i
gone down for an early breakfast and I
were In the kitchen, the only part of j
the house untouched, the remainder i
being a total wreck. At the same time
a small house occupied by a soldier,
his wife and their child and nephew
was struck by an explosive shell. The
entire family was killed. With the
streets cleared of people the German
gunners then directed their attention
to the railroad station. A whole row
of houses. Including a church In a
rearby street, were wrecked, but
without loss of life, ns the occupants
had sought safe refuge. The second
pert of the bombardment was more
violent than the first, but did less I
damage.
Drew Off.
At the expiration of the second pe- !
riod after the town bad been under
bombardment thirty minutes the
warships drew off In a northerly di
rection and when the people of Scar
borough again board the booming of
the guns nt 0 o'clock the town of
Whitby, tip the const, was the vic
tim.
During tiie early stage of the bom
bardment the screeching shells caus
ed pandemonium. Later the people
quieted.
When the ships drew off the search
for killed and wounded began. Among
the wounded were many women anil
children, an Infant of four months
having had its skull fractured by a
shrapnel while In the arms of Its
mother, who escaped unscathed. A
surgeon at the hospital also had a
marvelous escape when the casing of
an 8-inch shell burrowed Into the
ground at his feet

j The pathetic helplessness of the
lefugees brought home the reality of
war to this part of England. Many
poor people whose homes were de
stroyed sought refuge In nearby

By nightfall the town bore an out

Many persons were unsparing in their
expressions of resentment because the

INTERNMENT OF
SERINS, GUAM
Officers and Crew of the
Cruiser Cormoran Equal in
Number to Their American
Guards.
Washington. -The Internment of 22
officers and 386 enlisted men from the
German cruiser Comoran, at Guam,
the American possession in Ihe Lad
rono Archipelago makes the foreign
force there nearly equal numerically
to the American guard which consists
of about 400 marines. This situation,
however, is not viewed with any con
cern by officials here as the custom
Is to disarm interned soldiers.
The question of the transfer of tho
internes to a less remote quarter, was,
however, suggested today ns facilities
for curing for a large number at the
Guam naval station are necessarily
limited. II was pointed out that it
would not be difficult to transport the
Cormoran’s officers and men to Ha
waii and quarter them at Honolulu
along with those from the German
cruiser Geler interned at that port.

POTTSVILLE FIRE
Entire Business Block Filled
With Holiday Goods, Prey of
Flames. Water Supply Failed.
Pottsville, Pa. —Fire in tho business
section of Pottsville early today de
stroyed property valued at nearly two
million dollars. An entire block of
business buildings stocked with hol
iday goods was burned.
Twenty stores, the Pennsylvania
National Bank and the Academy of
Music were among the buildings de
stroyed. The postofflce caught fire,
but was not badly damaged
The file satrtod In the ronr of the
Woolwortli Store and spread on the
side to the Brltton-Hoffman Furniture
Store, and the other to the City De
partment* Store, the upper floors of
which were UNCd ns offices.
Inability to secure a sufficient water
supply at first Is given as a cause
for the fire's rapl dspread. Power was
shut off because of the danger of
broken wires and the city is without
electric lights. Street car service is
suspended.
The Pennsylvania Bank’s vnlunbles
were locked In a fireproof vault and
are believed to be undamaged. The
Pnion Safe Deposit Bank Building,
nearby, was Hllghtly damaged but the
bank opened for business while tho
fire was burning itself out.
Much of the loss is not covered by
insurance, especially that on tho large
stocks of holiday goods.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.
.So-called stomach troubles, such as in
digestion, wind, and stomach-ache are in
probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fomentation Is taking
place In the food contents of the stom
ach. causing the formation of gas arid
acids. Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feeling some
times known as heartburn, while the
acid Irritates and Inflames the delicate
lining of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely in the fermenting food. Such
fermenatton Is unnatural, and acid for
mation Is not only unnatural but may in
volve most siSlous consequences if not
corrected. To stop or prevent fermen
tation of the food contents of the stom
ach and to neutralize the add, and ren
der It bland and harmless, a teaspoonful
of hlsurated magnesia, probably the
best and most effective corrector of acid
stomach known, should he taken In a
quarter of a glass of hot or cold water
Immediately after ealtng, or whenever
wind or acidity Is fell This stops the
fermentation, and neutralizes the acidity
In a few' moments. Fermentation, wind
and acidity are dangerous and unneces
sary. Stop or prevent them by the use
of a proper antacid, such as blsulated
magnesia which can he obtained from
any druggist and thus enable the stom
ach to do Its work properly without be
ing hindered by poisonous gas and dang
erous acids - M. F. P.

HAD PILES
AND BLACKHEADS
All Over Face, Burnt and Stung
So Impossible to Get Any Rest,
Ashamed toGo in Public, Cuticura
Soap and Ointment Healed,
327 Dabney Ave., Vicksburg, Miss.
" About four year, ago pimples and black
head. came all over my face, which worried
me Klrst they were very
red, then they would come
to a head and after they
were opened they burnt and
stung so hadly It was im
possible to get any rest. At
night it was almost useless
to go to bed for I couldn’t
get much sleep and could
not keep my hands off my
face. I was ashamed to go In public for
almost everyone had some remark to make
of the way ray face looked.
"1 took eoine patent medicine but that
did no good. I also had a treatment which
did no good. 1 kept on worrying with them,
then I tent for a .ample of Gutlcura Soap
and Ointment. 1 used them and they did
to much good I decided I would give them
a fair trial. So I bought a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment and
l was completely cured.” (Signed) Mrs.
