Only about a half dozen of nearly a score of raiders that made the at tempt succeeded in reaching London. The others were driven back by gun fire and some of the machines that reached the area over the capital were engaged above It by British machines.

Two of the crew of three were captured alive by an armed trawler. German Report of Raid.

MELTING JEWELRY FOR FUNDS. Milwaukee* Women Turn Over Brace lets', Thimbles and Tooth Crowns. Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 21.-Club women have started a melting pot for war purposes, abd although the assortment of jewelry is not large, and the articles simple, yet it is felt bigger things aro ahead. The melting pot was established by the South Side Women's Club, one of the largest in the city, and was the idea of Mrs. Archie, Tegtmeyer, its formor president, and wife of a leading jeweler. Women brought treasures of bygone days, broken keep-sakes and articles of value, but no longer in style. There were ear rings, broken chains, thimbles and Lracelets and even gold crowns, the kind worn on teeth. When the collection is sufficiently large it will be sent to Washington to be assayed and the returns put into tho club's war fund. W. H. Townsend, of Columbia, ls mentioned as the probable successor of Judge Mendel L. Smith, who re signed io become Judge Advocate General In the army with tho rank of major. ?it?r'-.i ' V Uki NVA H RATION INSUFFICIENT. . n c ot; 'Collapse' of Germnny'f Food System. Amsterdam, Dec.' 2JU;-A striking i evidence of the collaj)se of tho Ger- ? i I man Imperial food department's sys- ? tem is furnished., hy tho Vorwaortz, | 1 which publishes a confidential memo- f randum showing that tho rations ap pointed by von Waldrow's depart ment are entirely Insufficient for war industries workers. The paper de ' votes six columns to thc revelation, ? the publication of which von Wald row forbade. The municipality of Neukoln, a suburb of Berlin, examined the food difficulties and set forth the results in a forbidden memorandum. From this it appears that who lations, be ing insufficient foi war industry workers, the managers of war indus tries concerns, of which there are about 1,800 situated in Neukoln, fol lowing the. example of tho Krupps and other large employers, bought their own provisions, generally far above the maximum prices. These provisions they "retailed to the work ers,^ sometimes at prescribed prices, tometlmes more. This course, nt first adopted by largo concerns, excited the jealousy of the smaller employers with less moans, who, for the purpose of pre venting trouble/ received military support in acquiring goods in this il legitimate way. Ultimately tho Neu koln municipal' council, to prevent discontent among the workers, itself was obliged to purchase provisions and distribute .them to the Bmall in dustries, necessitating the contraven tion of tho maximum prices. Until tho beginning of October sat isfactory conditions were maintained .by these means, but later discontent arose among the workers because the large concerns, in view of the in creasing food shortage, absorbed all of the available food. Many munici palities followed their example. Those which have endeavored to obey the regulations are confronted, in respect to the food supply, by im possible tasks in the near future, says tho memorandum. Fire Destroys Valuable Flans.
