By Associated Press. London, Dec. 17. (3:28 A. M.) News of the German raiders' arrival was promptly sent to the military au thorities of all coast towns and pre iarranged steps were immediately tak en every where to be prepared if raid developed at other points. Th mayor of Tyne Mouth., on the .North sea, eight miles east northeast of Newcastle, immediately ordered the gas supply turned off, directed the pol ice to round up a large number of aliens and issued the following proc lamation to the emergency commit tee: Mayor Offers Warning. "There is a rumor that a battle is proceeding in the South sea and there is a possibility' of a hostile attack on Tyne Mouth. The civil population is advised to remain indoors, but if the people wish to leave their dwellings they should proceed in the direction of Newcastle, "There is no reason for undue alarm and we strongly urge the population not to leave town as notice will! be promptly given if we consider this nec essary." There is much speculation in Lon don as to how far the German raid has succeeded in creating uneasiness or panic in other- coast towns. Feeling In Coast Towns. A London newspaper telegraphed to mayors of all coast towns asking what effect the news of the enemy's visit had had. All replies received go far in dicate no panic is felt. Among replies xvere: ' 'Felixstowe Commplete arrange ments have been made here for all eventualities. Business is going on as usual. : Grat Yarmouth We have taken all necessary precautions to protect the inhabitants in the event of a bom bardment here. The people are quite i cairn. Harwich The city is calm and nor mal. " Hull The excitement over the raid soon subsided here. We have full confidence in the navy. Lowestoft The raid has not affect ed our nerves. The emergency com mittee has taken every precaution. No attack is expected but we are prepar ed for any contingency. Marty Wounded. nerugecs ana travelers arrived m London from the bombarded towns dur ing the night. Some wore bandages to cover minor injuries. - Arthur Wood, manager of the elec tric lighting plant at Scarborough, had his head swathed with bandages to cover wounds inflicted by pieces of shell. His son was also wounded. The elder Wood said: "I was standing in front of my house when a shell burst a few yards away and fragments ricochetted from a window sill and hit both myself and my son. I took my family to the cel lar where we bound up the wounds and remained there until the sounds of the bombardment had ceased. We then decided to leave town for a rr st. Heavy Damage. "It is my impressioon that the dam- ir fha fine nAiicoc! oIati v Vs ttt- front was very heavy. The town has scarcely a window pane left. At the first sound of the firing our she 11 wrecked two rooms but neither of them was occupied." Another passenger from Scarborough was a cool young housewife, who said: "At daybreak I saw three warships lying quietly in the haze a mile or two off shore. It never occurred to me that they were anything but English ships so I went quietly , about my preparations for breakfast. "About 8 o'clock I heard the sound of guns but paid no particular notice. A few monutes later there came ai shock I can not think of a better word for it. A shell had struck the house and passed straight through the room I was in. "I looked up and saw great holes in the walls near the ceiling, indicating the course of the missile. I was puz zled for a moment, then suddenly rea lized that the Germans were shelling Scarborough. "I took the family to the cellar where we remained for an hour, during which one more shell struck and fell into the drawing room, smashing up the furniture. Another shell plough ed up our garden."

SUMMERS-AREY. ' JAPAN TO SEND AUK TO EUROPE Tokio, Nov- 2. (Correspondence of The Associated Press.) The project of sending a Japanese army to Europe s gathering force in Japan. It is un derstood that France and Russia fa vor the idea, but that Great Britain hesitates to call upon her ally to go to Europe. It is estimated that an army of 800,- 000 (the number under consideration) would cost 5 yen per soldier daily or about $1,500,000 for all. The fleet of transports would go by way of Suez and in addition to a total equipment of arms would have to convey food for many months, including vast quan tities of rice. The idea is that the expense would be covered by a Euro pean loan. Baron Kato, minister of foreign af fairs, is quoted as being opposed to the project MRS. ASTOR GREETED SANTA CLAUS SHIP Plymouth, England, Dec. 2. Corres pondence of The Associated Press.) Mrs. Waldorf Astor, wife of the mem ber of the House of Commons from Plymouth and formerly Miss Nancy Langhorne of Virginia, was among the women who greeted the American 'Christmas ship Jason upon its arrival here. Mrs. Astor also made an ad dress at the opening of a relief fund bazaar at Laira Yesleyan Church "I hope hatred will go out of the world," Mrs. Astor said "A soldier onee told me that he once believed in God but since he had been in the trenches he does not. I told him that it was not God who put him in the trenches. This war is bringing'all classes to gether, and in that way it is doing mucn good. Special to The News. Salisbury, Dec. 17. Mr. Clarence H.

' You've got to think for yourself, for, even in Queenly Charlotte, good things are sometimes coun terfeited. Some people say 6 per cent, yet wilfully figure you out of 12 to 14 and pray loudest in church the next day, hoping you're too thickheaded to find out the deception. 12 PER CENT MONEY will bankrupt a nation, and it will destroy an individual just so surely as God Almighty will finally punish the deceiver, the robber, the seducer WE CHARGE 6 PER CENT TO ALL, w hite or black, and we credit not less than 6 1-4 per cent upon every nickel paid upon that debt and from each Saturday upon which it's paid if the borrower carries out his contract, or holds on to the end, nad 95 per cent of borrowers do. Figured in a practical way the borrower pays only about 3 1-2 per cent for his money, just about half what many so-called co-operative and beneficent institutions charge and collect.
