'@it crew OF three were captured. The
British official report of the raid says
there is reason to suppose that ano-
ther of the Germans came down in
the English channel.
Only about a half dozen of nearly
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

machines.

MELTING JEWELRY FOR FUNDS.
Milwaukee Women Turn Over Brace
lets, Thimbles and Tooth Crowns.


Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. 21.-Club
women have started melting pot
FOR war purposes, and although the
assortment Of jewelry is not large,
and the articles simple, yet it is felt
bigger things are 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 former president, and wife of
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
bracelets and even gold crowns, the
kind worn on teeth. ~
When the collection Is sufficiently
large 1t will be sent to Washington
to be assayed and the returns put
into the clubs war fund.

N1arsl,aling Our Billions.

HE Federal government is about to
i launch upon the greatest financial drive
ever undertaken in the history OF the world.
We are proposing to raise not less than 49,
600, 900 by the sale of bonds on the one
hand. and $4,000, 100000 through levy OF
war taxes on the other The recent Liberty
Loan campaign for a two billion dollar bond
subscription will seem small by comparison.
1t would have been more than amazing IL the
country had failed to absorb the Liberty
bonds. But the next loan is different mat
ter Not only is the issue larger by half
but 1t comes Immediately in the wake OF
the first. The installments upon the bonds
purchased In the spring and early summer
will not have been met by one-half OF the
Subscribers before the government will make
it's appeal to the country to take more bonds
And by the time the first payments are due
we shall begin feeling the war taxation Our
individual incomes will have been heavily
levied unon Our business interests will be
taxed upon its profits, its excess profits and
in almost every other conceivable direction
This Will mean that corporations, large and
small, will bo unable to buy bonds in pro-
portion to their first purchases. 1t will mean
that the Individual, assessed though he be-
must find the means of investing IN the ,e-
curities Of his government The men of
wealth will buy heavily, If they are patriots.
but the men without wealth must buy as
WELL
There Is no reason. sound or half-sound,
however. why this second loan should fail or
even falter. War taxes may be heavy In
comes. private and corporate, may be cut,
but the richness Of this country will not be
affected The money is here, vast sums of
It. Much Of 1t has been made out of the
war. The export figures for the past fiscal
year showing new records, indicate that the
United States is still proft-making nation.
If only the value of our goods sold abroad
since 1914 were invested in government
bonds. not only would the first and second
Liberty loans be noated. but there would be
enough money left to finance third one.
But this money must come voluntarily. Tax

buying is financial Volunteering The re-

Next Years Wheat Crop.

HE country will applaud the program of
Secretary Of Agriculture David F.
Houston for a bilion-bushcl wheat crop
next year. II will applaud it because such
T. crop is just as essential to tho success of
tho war rs armies and nayes. 1t will ap-
plaud 1t because feeding tho allies is as vital
Il part of our contribution to common cause
as fighting men munitions or ships or
guns.
And we may expect a patriotic response
on the part OF the farmers. Already they
nave done wonders toward relieving the food
stnft situation We entered the war too late
for the farmers to calculate upon the ma
tonal necessities at the time the winter
wheat OF last year was sown. But the spring
crop was vastly increased and the corn crop,
which is almost important may establish
record.
RE government has met the demands Of
the farmer by fixing n minimum market
price of So a bushcl for wheat This is
contained in the food control bill and was
inserted in that measure not as insurance
against possible loss to the grower but as
encouragement to him to mako his next crop
just as large as his acreage will permit
good deal OF opposition to the minimum price
for this product manifest when It was
first proposed, but the country now under
stands that this legislation merely places the
producer Of wheat upon the same basis as
tho producer OF Steel Of coal and of the
other essential products for which the gov
eminent is willing TO pay cost plus a rea-
sonable profit
1t is estimated by Secretary Houston that
1t is necessary TO SOW 47.377,000 acres In
winter wheat If the bilion-bushel crop is
to materializc. This would be an increase
of S per cent. over last year At the same
time tho Secretary proposes that $4,000
acres OF rye be planted. This Is another
winter crop, and the campaign in behalf Of
1t is launched at the Same time Before
the winter is over the administration no
| doubt will announce a program for next
years corn crop, but this need not be ap-
preached until a little nearer the time for
breaking ground. If VIC are able to feed
our allies as we'll ourselves through an
other year we will have achieved an "ob-
jective" as far-reaching as our armies can
accomplish.
