FOUR SCARBOROUGH, Been, is IST SITTER “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 Exodus From City. The mllltnry authorities directed the exodus from the city.

Many poor people whose homes were de stroyed sought refuge In nearby ; towns. By nightfall the town bore an out ward appearance of calm, hut hiixlouh groups lingered about the streets. Many persons were unsparing in their expressions of resentment because the town war helpless to retaliate on the ■ raiders. 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. 52.000.000 LOSS 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.

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. OPENS IN FORTNIGHT. San Diego.

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.
