GERMANS CAPTURE
BOAT OFF ENGLAND
Naval Forces Of Kaiser Take
Armed TraWIer and Grew.

London, Nov. 29.-An official Ger
man statement given out here says
German naval forces have made an.
other raid close to the English coast
near Lowestoft, capturing a vessel.
The British admiralty appends the
following:
"A report has been received that
the armed trawler Narval was on duty
off the east coast on the night of Nov.
rs and is missing. This presumably
is the vessel referred to-"
The German statement is quoted in
an official British communication. The
Berlin statement is given as follows:
"The admiralty announces that
portion of our naval forces again exc
cuted a raid, going close to the Eng
lish coast. Not far from Lowestoft an
enemy patrol vessel and it's crew were
captured. Some neutral steamers also
were stopped and searched, but as
they carried no contraband they were
released. Our naval forces returned
without seeing any trace Of the en-
envy
This is the second German naval
raid in the last week.

Your Christmas Shopping.

The early Christmas shopping cam
paign is being pushed with vigor by
many newspapers throughout the coun-
try. And with Christmas now less than
six weeks ahead it is high time for this
annual reminder, for of course it is
plain it soon will be too late to do
early shopping. With some there is a
tendency to wait until after Thanks
giving before attending to this matter.
And as Thanksgiving comes about one
week later than usual this year, it
probably will mean "a big rush Of holi-
day trading Immediately after. There
is, therefore, additional reason for
urging shoppers to get busy without
delay.
1t is the general anticipation that
holiday shopping will be of unprece-
denied proportions this year. Prosper
ity is general, and in spite of the high
cost of living the people are well sup
piled with money which they spend
with great iberality. This is taken to
mean that the Christmas trade this
year will be extraordinarily heavy, and
in anticipation of this heavy trade
merchants have provided large stocks
which are now ready for the shoppers.
And those who shop early will not only
get the cream of the goods, but they
will be saving themselves worry and in
convenience and at the same time be
doing a kindness to clerks and trades
people.
Not only is it time to push Christmas
shopping activities, but it soon will be
time to think of starting presents on
their way if they are destined to other
places. A heavy Christmas trade will
also mean rush of business for the
express companies and Uncle Sam s
mails, and those who wish to avoid an
noyances and delays will start their
presents considerably ahead of the
usual time.-Oshkosh Northwestern.
