GERMAN SUBMARINE
SUNK BY BRITISH
Rammed by Destroyer,
U-12 Loses 1S of Crew
of TWenty-eight.
RESCUED MEN WILL
BE HELD FOR TRIAL
Deprived of Privileges, Must
Face Charges of Destroying
Merchant Vessels.

London, March 10.-The British Ad-
miralty announced tonight that the
German submarine U-12 was rammed
and sunk to-day by the British torpedo
destroyer Ariel.
The Admiralty statement said:
Later and more detailed reports
have now been received which estab-
lish the fact that the German sub
marine. which was rammed and sunk
bv II. NJ. S. Ariel, was the U-12, and
that out Of her crew Of twenty-eight
the number saved was ten"
The submarine U-l2 was Of the class
built in 1901. Her displacement
was $50 tons and she had a maximum
cruising radius Of 1900 miles. She
was armed with three 18-inch torpedo
tubes and two 1-pounder high angle
guns. She had a speed OF thirteen
knots above water and eight knots sub
merged.
The U-12 has taken an active part in
the German operations against British
shipping. On February 2l she sank
the small Irish coasting steamer Down
shire in the Irish Sea, after giving the
crew five minutes in which to leave
their ship.
The captured crew will be deprived
Of all special privileges, as was done
in the case Of the men on board the
Us. and they will be held for trial in
connection with the sinking OF mer-
chant vessels.
The loss OF U-t2 makes the seventh
German submarine 70 be destroyed

SANTA CLAUS GIRL HAS
COLLECTED 600 TOYS
FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Miss Olive Mae Wilson Hopes
to Have 10000 Presents for
the Poor Riddles This
Year
HAS TWENTY HELPERS

Six hundred toys, intended for children
who have none of their own. already
have been collected and placed in the
great billiard room at the home of Miss
Olive Mae Wilson. the Santa Claus Girl
of Philadelphia, on Hansberry avenue and
Morris street, Germantown. Before
Christmas there will be 10000 presents in
the billiard room IL the hopes Of the Santa
Claus girl are realized.
Last year 1000 children in Philadelphia
and throughout the United States were
made happy by gifts collected by Miss
Wilson. The year before, the first time
she tried free distribution Of gifts. 5000
packages were sent. With the added
publicity given her work and because OF
her success last year. it is believed that
the high-water mark in the number of
gifts donated will be reached this Christ
mas.
Not only the number Of gifts is growing.
but the size Of the organization Miss Will
son has built up This year she and the
20 young women who aid her will have a
room for themselves on the eighth floor
of the Curtis Building. Every other Fri
day afternoon they meet in this room
and talk over the best methods for break
ing all records in the number of presents
they will give away this year. Besides
the 20 girls in the city, Miss Wilson is
aided by her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. S.
Harry Wilson, and her fiance, Burchall
Hammer, OF Mount Airy
This year will be the first that Miss
Wilson has spent in Philadelphia since
taking up her work for Santa Claus
Heretofore her campaign has been con-
Quoted from her former home In Jenkin-
town. Proximity to the city will aid
the work this year, her friends believe.
Scores OF letters from children anxious
to get gifts already have been received by
Miss Wilson. Some OF these, addressed
to Santa Claus Q North Pole street. Z"
have reached her. after letter carriers
tried vainly TO deliver them on North
Mole street, Philadelphia.
The work throughout the United States
which the Santa Claus girl has been car
rying on quietly, will be extended this
year. There are two young women In
every state working along the same lines,
Miss Wilson said today. Long before the
Interstate organization was formed, Miss
Wilson was sending presents to children
In many towns throughout the country
Among the letters she treasures are 16
missives from the 16 little Dropinskys, of
Chicago. Ill. who wrote last year for gifts
No books or heavy iron toys are to be
sent through the malls, the Santa Claus
girl has decided.
The most popular gifts OF all are dolls,
Miss Wilson says. She ought TO know.
There will be an exhibition OF dolls No
vember l. at the home of the snata Claus
girl The public Is invited.
