  THE NEWS OF THE BOMBARDMENT of the City of Newcastle and the landing of the German Army at Hull, Weybourne, Yarmouth, and other places along the East Coast is unfortunately confirmed. THE ENEMY'S INTENTION is to march upon the City of London, which must be resolutely defended. THE BRITISH NATION and the Citizens of London, in face of these great events, must be energetic in order to vanquish the invader. The ADVANCE must be CHALLENGED FOOT BY FOOT. The people must fight for King and Country. Great Britain is not yet dead, for indeed, the more serious her danger, the stronger will be her unanimous patriotism. GOD SAVE THE KING.HARRISON, Lord Mayor. Mansion House, THE LORD MAYOR'S APPEAL TO LONDON. THE LORD MAYOR'S APPEAL TO LONDON. "March outposts are at Blythburgh, Wenhaston, Holton, Halesworth, Wissett, Rumburgh, Homersfield, and Bungay, and then north to Haddiscoe, while cavalry patrols watch by day, the line roughly being from Leiston through Saxmundham, Framlingham, and Tannington, to Hoxne. "The estimate, gleaned from various sources in Lowestoft and Beccles, is that up to Monday at midday nearly a whole Army Corps, with stores, guns, ammunition, etc., had already landed, while there are also reports of a further landing at Yarmouth, and at a spot still farther north, but at present there are no details. "The enemy," he concluded, "are at present in a position of absolute security." |
