More snow last night. On Monday night Plymouth had a real air raid alarm but whether there was a Zeppelin seen or not is not clear, it was reported that one was seen at Salcombe, but all lights were put out in 10 min.

The news for in France is that the German attack has failed for the time & their losses have been terrible. It is still very cold & raw. Janet & I went down to Yalford to see Exlby [?]. Approached Mrs Hick & Mrs Lane on the subject of war work the latter expressed great willingness to do any work which she was strong enough for, Mrs L seemed much used to the idea.
