BgR AR NAH RAID
 AT S-AEID

DOUGLAS, Dec 17--Douglaa lng night was the Mecca for thieves ane safe breakers-two robberles and ar attempted burglar being reported tS tho police tbis morning, The flrs and most serlous 5f the robberiea cc cured at tho kronquist Grocer 7E St. Ann Avenue sometime betwiar one and two o'clock this morning and the second little later at Smith' Drug Store near the ferry approach The attempted burglary was ot the corbett Boarding House between three and four o'clock
 The robbers gained access to Kron quisfs store through window in the rear where Mr. Kr0nQuist has bis pri yate office, and after blowing the safe with nitro.gly cerine rifled 1t oi its contents and ade their escaupe through another window.
 The first known of the robbery was when Mir. Kronqulets brother opened the store this morning at 2 o'clock He went into the office and saw a heavy object on the floor covered witb a couple of quilts, and thinking that the robber had been killed by the explosion, he n.sed the alarm and called his brother who lives near the store Upon investigation lt was discovered tbat what waa taken for tho body Of 9 man was in reality Q sack Of onions tho robbers had placed in front of the sale to deaden ihe noise Of the explosion. 4 sack of rico had also beer placed on top ol the safe lo break tho ahock as well. Debris was scattered all over the room and a few dishes on a table near by. were broken.
 Mir. KronquIst stated this morning that his loss, 80 far as he can tell at present, was about S9OO of which S707 was cash. He stated that the robbers also got away with two gold watches, one gold chain end three gold rings as well as some valuable papers. The reason for so much mon ey being in Che safe was that yester- day was pay day at Treadwell and 2 number of Mir KronQuisrs customers paid their months bills, but he had not closed the store until 9:SO last night and that 1t was then too late to take the money to the bank.
 Rev. Owen Umstead who resides near the store said that he heard the noise of the explosion between one and two o'clock this morning but did not pay any attention to 1t as he often hears blasting at night time.
 Smiths prug Store was entered through Q window at the rear by cut ting the lower pane from the sash. The safe Is Immediately in front Of the window, but evidently the man did not have time to touch the safe and 80 confined himself to the cash register. from which he took Sl5. The loss at the Drug Store includes five gold and silver safety razors, eleven fountain pens and two manicure sets. The loss to the drug store in all will probably amount to SIS.
 A man also entered the corbett Boarding House and made his way to the room of El Jarv between two and three o'clock and when asked his business by Mir Jaryl he stated he liy- ed there. MT, Jarvi told him that be knew everyone in the house and that he did not know him. The man then left the room and went down into t9e dining room where he was finally scared away.

A fleet of steam trawlers have been dis patched to sweep the North Sea of mines scattered by the German cruis- CTS in their return to Heligoland and on the East and Southeast coasts of England emergency committees are ct work.
 Women Would Fight
 In London, companies of women vol unteer reserves are being formed, and their services will be offered to the Grown. if required. Plans to organize naval guard composed of men too old for military service. are under way and great activity is being taken in naval circles. .
 Although to the British mind 2 raid on London seems remote, yesterdays episode drove home the stern realities of war as little else could, and no chances will be taken.
 Defense ls Planned
 Arrangements have been made at Deal and Dover to expedite the rmov- nj Of the civilian population in case of an attack on London. The meas ures are primarily to forestall any panic or congestion on the railroads and thoroughfares which might im- pede military movements.
