"How thoughtful"
Jack gave the slip to the driver and

''N-no. I had written down the ad-

MAKE BOLD
RAID ON CUXHAVEN
British Filters Try TO Lure
German Fleet Out of NieI
Spectacular EnCoun-
ter Results.

London. Dec. 29.-Warships, naval
l~eroplanes, Zeppelins, and submarines
,ook part in an engagement on Christ
mas day at the mouth of the Elbe, near
CuXhaven, the German base, which was
attacked by British ships and planes.
Of the seven airmen, from the British
ships. who attempted to dig out the
German fleet. but one was killed. Com
nander Hewett's wrecked plane was
;ound off H~elgoland.
1t is understood that the raid was
fruitless. The British light cruisers.
Arethusa and Undaunted, were at
tac!Eed by Zeppelins, seaplanes, and
submarines, while awaiting the return
Of the own aviators. BY rapid manuver-
Ing they were able to avoid the sub
marines, and the sky craft found the
fire from the warships too dangerous to
permit of careful bomb dropping.
The initiative in military operations
apparently has been left for the time
being to the airmen. Aerial raids across
the English channel, to the lower
Thames, over Freiburg, Nancy, Metz
and Sochazew Russian Poland, and on
the German naval base at Cuxhaven,
inflicted considerable damage in the
aggregate. Details of the Cuxhaven ex-
petition are still lacking, and although
Berlin asserts that the British ~aviators
accomplished nothing. it is said in
Hamburg that some damage was done.
It is evident, however, that the heavy
fog prevented the British from carrying
out fully their plans.

three or four hostile sea planes and
several hostile submarines attacked

CHOIR singer STOLE
TO ASSIST the POOR
New Yorker Admits Thefts-
Kept Only Enough to Pay
Own Board, He Says.


New York, Dec. 29.-Fred Hoyt, choir
singer in a bowery MISSION, pleaded
guilty today to the theft of 81, 800 in
jewelrv from an apartment house. but
besought the courts clemency on the
plea that he stole only to benefit the
poor.
Hoyt said he had stolen altogether
about $4,000. all Of which he had given
to the poor, except barely enough to
pay his own board. He had not ben
aitted beyond this by any of his thefts,
he said. The none was given out in
small sums, according to his story,
among the bowery's homeless men. to
enable them to get food and lodging.
His method of distributing it was to
stand, after services, at the doorway of
the mission. where he had sung and
bestoe coins on the departing wor-
shippers.
Hoyt Will be sentenced later.
