Over the Christmas numerous colledive efforts, rather than large cheques, have been tho principal means of lifting the .Widows' and Orphans' (am* Children's tiummer Honie) Fund total <\ iui we believe we are, even now, at little more than the beginning of these festive suison thank-offerings, which are so wel- come because they illustrate how Videly the apyeal is being felt. DINNER-TABLE OFFERINGS. The list below shows how largely col- lections the couutinlg of which has; meant, plenty of work for the Fund helpers) are figuring these days, and to- morrow we hope to announce two large efforts of this kind: first, the contents of the boxes which Mr. Geo. Ric:hardso111 permitted at the Empire on the very popular Boxing Day ami following even- ing performances (counting not complete hi the time of writing); and secondly, the Christmas Day dinner-table collection jesult. We have given considerable pub- licity to this latter, in our view very happy, idea. that was suggested to the chairman, lion, treasurer, hou. secretary, and others from several sources, but in case some who read this missed the original announcements we may grt-e a re- minder that the shop, 62, Wind-street, will be open'to receive such gifts (and, indeed, any others) until 7 p.m. this even- ing. In the first "hour or two to-day the number who came along with envelopes Tras (jecidedl- r encouraging, and the mounts howed that. the contents were really collections and a definite offering in which many had taken a part. We hope that this special opportunity of -showing thanksgiving and remembrance Trill bring in a very substantial sum. Particularly notable among to-day's subscriptions are, perhaps, the fine col- lecbiona from Hill Chapel and Moriali Chapel, Treboeth; Mr. Rout's Central Hotel contribution, mainly as the result of tournaments which are running, and v ill continue to run this week* and the Carlton Cinema staff's help.

GERMAN FLEET. 'I 1 11 Scapa Ships to be Scrapped. 'Latest reports from Paris state that the Allied Commission has decided on the blowing up of the German warships sunk at Scapji Flow. Thus will come to au I ignominious end the bulk of that navy which the e-x-Jvaiser built up for the pur- pose of obtaining world-power. CLEARING OF SCAPA. I The clearing of Scapa Flow will pro- I bably take place early in the New Year, in the presence or a Naval Commission1 representing all the Allies. It is interesting to note that before the scuttling it was suggested that, to avoid I dissensions among the Allies, the interned German ships should be taken out into the Atlantic and sunk. Von Renter's treacherous order to sink the lot came at a time when the Allies were still discuss- ing the fate of the pirate fleet, and greatly ¡ eased the problem.

Miss Davies walked on in front with the young man, Mr .Burke and a Miss Edith I Palmer following on behind.

I NINE STITCHES NECESSAR*. I The wound she had received, whilst not of a serious nature, necessitated the insertion of nine stitches. Jeanes was later found lying in the doorway of 1, St. Alban's-road, suffering from a very serious wound in the throat. Mr. Symonds, the occupier of the house, who made the discovery, immediately informed the police, and Jeanes was at once removed in the motor ambulance ¡ to the Hospital, where he now lies in a critical condition.
