You Should Help in Sale Of the Red Cross Seals.

So ifar there has hot been a popular demand Jot the “red cross’’ seals and an appeal is made to aid to buy them. They are on sale at every store in the city. They make a neat seal on letters and packages and the receivers realize that you are interested in the great flight against tuberculosis. Within the past week there have been two deaths from this dread disease in this county. One was a young main and the other a young mother.. Every red cross seal« purchased helps in the campaign to stamp out this terrible malady. It is expected to place them for sale in the pulblic schools and evfary child who sells 25 cents worth wfll get a red cross button. It is prdbalble that arrangements will be made to have the children sell the seals at the poetoffice one day. Twenty-five per cent of th%money received from the salle of the seals will be kept in this county for use in the local fight against tuberculosis. The money will probably be turned over to the board of associated charities. No person should let this Christmas go by without buying the red cross seals. Get them today-

GERMAN WARSHIPS BOMBARD ENGLAND

Cruisers Take Advantage of Tog, Slip Out of Channel and Shell Three English Cities. LONDON, December 16—The long expected German attack on England wa's made today and for the first time in the history of the United Kingdom hostile warships bombarded English towns. Scarborough, Hartlepool and Whitby, on the £hore off the North Sea, were shelled by German warehips. It seems probable that Germany had sent a few swift cruisers for a raid on the coast of England, largely for its moral’ effect, and had not attempted an action with its main fleet or an invasion of England. Fighting between the Genman craft and British warships patrolling the eoast was reported in the admiralty’s first announcement, but no details of these encounters were given. In slipping out of their safe refruge at the Genman naval base, behind Helgoland, the German warships, which reached the coast of England, were obliged to dodge through the main British fleet, supposed to be on guard all along the east side of the North Sea and the English channel. Some of the German Baltic sea fleet may have passed through the Kiel canal to join the main fleet off Wilhelmshaven.
