 Maxi Planes On Thames
 London, Dec. 6-(UP)-German planes swept up the Thames Estuary early today, laying mines in an ef- fort to cripple shipping to the vital port of London.
 Royal Air Force fighting planes and a1ti-aircraft batteries drove oif the raiders.
 Two of the planes, flying high over the Estuary, were picked out by an- ti-aircraft searchlights. They swept down low over the sea, to escape the beams, and disappeared, .
 A two-motored German plane which crashed into the sea near Sheringham, on the Norfolk coast, and narrowly missed c gas plant and several buildings, was believed to have been one of the German fleet which sought to mine the Thames.
 Body Recovered
 Its youthful pilot, whose body was recovered, was believed to have lost control of his plane. It had not been touched by aflti-aircraft gun bullets.
 Royal Air Force planes tried to engage German raiders at an tii1. specified point of the east coast, but failed to sight them because of bad weather.
 Wreckage from the German mono plane, a Heinkel reconnaissance plane, which crashed of Shering- ham, was washed ashore as was the body of the pilot.
 A life boat was sent out to seek for 8 survivor of the two seated plane, but found no trace of one.
 An employe of the Sheringhain Gas Works said that he heard the plane and then saw It's outline and 6 tail light as 1t skinned 20 feet above gas tank.
 Germans Capture French
 Berlin, Dec. 6-(UP)-Qerman soldiers have captured between 460 and 500 French soldiers, about 40 French officers and 25 British offi- cers, 1t was reported today by fleu- tral observers who visited German prison camps.
 All the British prisoners and 14 of the French prisoners were members of the flying forces, 1t was said.
 Observers who visited prison camp at Mooaburg, Bavaria, said about 4,500 Polish prisoners were confined there. The men live in groups of 100 in large tents and sleep on straw. Food is standard but was reduced recently, apparently to e level below that available to civi- Hans. The grounds of the camp were described as a "sea of mud"
 Polish Prisoners
 The Polish prisoners do farm la Dor, while the French are building two barracks for their own use.
 German authorities were said to be planning to provide their prison- CTS with German army boots to re- place their old ones which have be- come water-logged and are falling to pieces. The Nazis also will lay out football fields in the prison camps and install additional pumps 50 that the prisoners may take more than one bath week.
 Meanwhile, 1t was learned that German police still are holding more than 20 British women arrest ed in Berlin pending receipts by German authorities of information concerning treatment of German women in Great Britain and the dominions.
 Neutrals Warned
 Berlin, Dec. 6.-(UP)-A pointed warning to neutrals to no longer content themselves with paper pro- tests' against British and French seizures of German exports was ein- bodied today in information made available to the foreign press.
 Neutral nations were advised" to take active steps" against extension of the allied contraband control to German exports.
 The information expressed "amaze- ment" that the Dutch government, for example, does not intend to arm convoy It's merchant ships. It also expressed astonishment that "this strange renunciation of the freedom of the seas is based on Hollands neutral position"
 Neutrality, which on one hand shows hyper -sensitiveness, but on the other hand accepts violations of international law and the rights of neutrals, can scarcely be convinc. 1 lnn. q AhA i.,Rnns.a A AIosa anIA
