LoiKlon, Dec. 9. (By Mail to New
York.)-i-"Bhind the recent raid on
Great Yarmouth wai the first actual
attempted Invasion of England," a vis
itor from the east 'coast today in
formed the United Press.
"The Germans lost a great transport
ship, crowded with hundreds of troops,
but the remainder of the expedition
escaped." i -
The east coast resident declared he
received the Information from a naval
man who actually took part in - the
fighting. According to him, a British
warship sent the transport to the
bottom, but he declared he was sworn
to secrecy as to details and declined to
4a y whether all were drowned or any
efforts were made to pick up surviv
ors. When doubt was cast on the story,
.the speaker retorted; ' -
"Folks also refused to believe the
report of the Audacious disaster be-
cauve the authorities did not issue tb
news, but now you know It Is true."
In support of his . story lie pointed
to the fao.t that since the raid oc
curred, extra troops have been hurried
to the east coast; all the main rail
. rouds to London and the midlands
liave been- protected by -additional
trenches and wire entanglements; local
residents had been organized into com
panies of mounted and foot special
constabulary with full Instructions to
deal with the population and prevent
panic, and a complete list of food
tuffs, horses, vehicles, arms and am
munition had been compiled for use
In emergencies.
All the east coast, he declared, in in
dally expectation of a second visit
from the kaiser's legions, and prep
arations are complete for the emer
gency of a successful German landing.

Silver Lake Or., Dec. 21'. "Oh, Don't
You Remember Sweet Alice, Ben
Bolt?"
From a Juniper forest on the shores
of Thorn lake, the grand old melody
swells on the aromatic breeze. The
moon showers" a silvery 'radiance
through the tree tops, and the rustling
of the boughs is only enough to soften
the scratcbings of the phonograph
whence the music comes.
"Ye-ow-oo-oo; ye-oo-oo-oo; we-u-u."
The love cry of a cougar gurgles an
answer to the plaintive appeal of the
mechanclal musician.
"Ye-ow-oo-oo; ye-joo-oo-oo ; we-u-u."
A rifle cracks, spitting a tongue of
flame from nearby underbrush.
The cougar Is dead, lured to Its
doom by the voice of a sweet singer,
whose sandaled feet rest on a cat-skin
In a Fifth avenue drawing room,, and
by the wiles of! a trapper to whom
The aides of four coyotes, one boo
cat and a cougar, are offered by Lloyd
S. Allen, owner of the Allen ranch of
1000 acres near Thorn lake, as evi
dence that he can lure wild animals to
their deaths by phonograph music.
Moreover, Allen declares that not
any music will do. Ragtime, he says,
Is no good for the purpose.. The bob
cat "fell" for a "southern melody. "An
nie" Laurie," and; "Ben Bolt," got the
cougar: Sousa gets credit for two
coyotep; Paderewskl for one and
Kubelick for one.
Allen says it Was by accident that
he discovered the hypnotizing effect
qt' "phonograph music on wild animals,
but he gives assurance that he is go
ing to enlarge his : stock of records
and pursue his hunting systematically.
MANY PEOPLES OF

E
UP BALKAN STATES
Peninsula Has as Many
Tongues as Broke Out at
the Tower of Babel,
It may be noted by the date of this
story that It .was written before the
raid last. Wednesday on Scarborough,
Hartlepool and Whitby by German
cruisers. For obvious reasons, It could
not be cabled. There is no confirma
tion of the story told by the east
coaster of the loss of a German trans
port, and.lt has not been hinted be
fore that the German raid npon Yar
mouth was of such a serious nature.
Tha German raiders escaped in this
Instance, as they did Wednesday. '
Coupling for fir hose that are

man.
Washington, Dec. 21. -Some of the
leading characteristics of the Balkan
region, that part of the world 'which
a confusion of races, languages, cus
toms, nations, religions, and tradi
tions has caused to be the centuries
long theatre of seething,- incessant re
ligious and racial struggles are de
scribed in a statement by the National
Geographic society. It says:
"Many peoples of many minds meet
on the fringe between the east and
the west, the Balkan peninsula, and
each of these peoples clings tenacious
ly to its language, its traditions, its
religion, and to the manners and ways
of its kind. Several families of the
Slavonic people, each with its own
tongue and patriotism, are there. The
Turks, the Greeks,, and a sprinkling
of Germans, together with many frag
mentary types of peoples?"- from
west and east, survivals of nations and
tribes of yesterday's history, add to
the kaleidoscopic bewilderment. The
Balkan lands are a Babel through
which no ordinary 'master of tongues'
may hope to go without the aid of an
occasional Interpreter and much use
of Sign language.
Patriotic to the Cor.
"In the hearts of most of these peo
ples, no matter how small their land
or how little the world may know of
them, there is kept alive a f irey con
sciousness of their nationality. The
Montenegrin is as devoted a native of
his small bowl of a country among the
mountains as is the citizen of our own
United States, the difference being,
where any, that! the Montenegrin re
minds himself much more often of
his nationality and its advantages than
doen the average; American.
"With the sharp racial, tribual and
lingual divisions- of the Balkan peo
ples, religious divisions exert a far
more powerful distinctive Influence
there, than is the case with us. Greek
orthodox, Roman Catholic, various
Protestant confessions, and the Mo
hammedan faith 4iave served to segre
gate these peopl? from one another.
Development Za Ketarded.
"All the energy, destruction and
clamor which the friction between Us
many contrary types of people and
Ideals has occasioned, has retarded the
development of the Balkan peninsula
so that it is some generations behind
the achievements of the west; and the
traveler in the byways of this coun
try has had to put up with those same
inconveniences which he would encoun
ter in undeveloped Asia. The roads In
the Balkans are bad, in most cases
mere cattle and; footpaths. The vil-
largest are squalid, ill-kept, without
improvements, without comforts, with
out conveniences.
xne means or transportation are
uncertain; the mules are undependable,
the railway trains are capricious, boats
move according to the tempera of their
captains and the moods of their en
gineers,, while the treacherous roada
make horse and cart a risky adventure.
Furthermore, the law and order? of
much of the Balkan lands is at best
a matter of considerable uncertainty.
War-Bidden for Centuries.
"The Balkan peninsula has been
war-torn for 1900 years or more. War
became a continuous experience of its
people with the coming of the Romans
and, undjer the 1000 years of the rule
of Byzantium, when this east Roman
empire did yearly outpost duty for
Christendom until Its destruction by
the Turk, the Balkan peoples definitely
took the place which they hold today,
that of being a buffer people between
an upper and nether millstone.
"An outpost of the west in the east.
they have been everlastingly employed
with fighting both the east and the
west or among themselves, which baa
helped, to make 'the Balkan peninsula
the poorest stretch of land In Europe.'
