the calamity occurred at point where
a great ocean liner was picking its way
through the mine strewn sea, and the
wireless calls for assistance as the Au-
dacious received her death wound" were
responded to Immediately by the Olymp-
lie not more than ten miles away when
the call was picked up. So slowly did
the battleship sink that the entire COM
plement of men aboard her were able,
according to the story, to put off even
after many of them had tarried several
hours in the hope that their ship might
be hoated safely to the shore. So, while
millions of dollars were sacrificed in the
loss of the huge fighting machine OF re-
cent construction, the men aboard her
were saved for their country. Therein
is real cause for JOY in the general de-
preston that must have descended on
British people through the moral effect
of the loss OF great ship.
Just what value the British censorship
over the news Of the disaster attained
is problematical; but it does seem GER
tain that the shock of the information
must have been lessened somewhat, as
the news was withheld for two weeks
after its occurrence. Indeed, the mass
of the British people may not have heard
even yet of the loss of the Audacious,
so sharply is the censorship drawn in
that country. The news trickled through
to the United States only by means of
the mails; and il is likely that Germany, |
too, had not heard of the loss to its |
enemy unless perchance, the fatal blow |
was delivered by German submarine /
instead of a German-planted mine as
generally believed. Doubtless the British /
themselves heard rumors OF the destruc.
ton, but in time of war there are all
sorts of wild rumors afoat. making il
difficult to pick out the facts from the
les. With the publicity bureau of the
VAR office retaining complete silence
lbout the Audacious, the British people
probably were inclined to dismiss the ru-
nor along with the great mass of other
JUNIORS. When the fact shall have been
,fI.cially given out, they will be fortified
against the shock by reason Of the lapse
i time intervening. for time Is power

General Leonard Woods Warning to the
Nation.

The peaceful and neutralized little
republic of Switzerland, with a total
population about equal to that of this
town OF New York, can put in the field
on short notice an army of half million
trained fighting men.
With population of twenty-five
times greater than that of Switzerland,
the United States could command in an
emergency mobile force OF less than
ninety thousand regulars and militia
men, assuming the utmost possible as to
the availability of the militia.
In case of foreign invasion by a first
class power the minimum force required
for the support of our permanent coast
defences would be three hundred thou
sand men. Our available force of regu-
lars amounts TO only six per cent. of the
army required for the early stages of
defensive war In respect of regulars
our military preparedness is as 6 is to
LOO. Adding TO the six per cent. OF reg
ulars possible nineteen per cent. OF
militiamen, our available strength at the
outset OF such a war would be to the
necessary force az % is to 100. That is
to say we are one-quarter prepared.
This impressive warning does not
come from any alarmist, any irrespon-
sble agitator, any interested promoter
of military expansion. The foregoing
comparison forms part of the very dis
passionate statement of General Leonard
Wood which will be found in another
part OF The Sun this morning.
We commend the remarks OF this wise
and experienced soldier to the attention
of all patriotic citizens We commend
them particularly to our neighbor The
World. which has expressed desire 10 |
have General Woods opinion on the sub
iect Of the needs of national defence in
preference to the opinion Of Colonel
Roosevelt
Modern wars" says General Leonard /
Wood, 'come like the avalanche and not
like the glacier. New York Sun.

Composition Of Marine Rocks.

That many rocks which are now raised
far above sea level were once marine
sediments, and that living organisms
contributed to their formation are among
the commonplace Of geology. Il is also
known that radiolarians, diatoms, and
sponges form siliceous deposits; that
cslcareous rocks are derived In part from
corals and mollusks; and that crustAcean
and vertebrate remains are largely phos.
phatic These facts are established In
a broad general way. but they are be-

FRENCH. PAY HONOR
TO BELGIAN KING
King Albert's Fete Day Was Occasion
for Great Rejoicing in Pars--City
Hall Bore Belgian Colors.

Paris, Nov. l0.--France was dressed in
black, yellow and red yesterday in honor
of the fete day OF King Albert of Bel
GUM. There was great outpouring
everywhere of the people in sympathy
with the heroic monarch and his people.
The city hall and other public edifices
and most of the private buildings in
Paris flew the Belgian colors and in spite
Of the heavy downpour of rain immense
throngs attended services in the Belgian
church and Notre Dame cathedral
Thousands visited the Champs D'Elysees
and saluted bust of King Albert and
gave their mites to the Belgian relief
| fund.
The telegraph wires carried many of
fetal messages to King Albert expressing
admiration and encouragement. Among
those who sent kilograms were President
Poincare, the municipal council of Paris
and the authorities of every important
town in France. BY post and special
motor car service million persons from
all corners of the country not occupied
by the Germans from the highest aris-
tocrat to the humblest toiler sent touch
ing tributes to the Belgian monarch.
what the world owes the French no
one knows better than the Belgians,"
said the spokesman Of delegation OF
Brussels aldermen who visited Paris in
1910 with King Albert. To-day NJ. Cali,
president of the Paris city council in an
address, and various Paris newspapers
turned this phrase into What the world
owes Belgium no one knows better than
the French"
Early Sunday crowds assembled to at
tend TIE Deum in the Belgium church
in the Rue De Charonne. In this quarter
are 10000 Belgian wood carvers employ |
ed in the Faubourg Saint Antoine furni- |
ture industries, They overlooked the
church and the Rue DE Charonne into the |
Boulevard Voltaire.
At two o'clock there was a similar /
scene before Notre Dame cathedral,
where the services were presided over by |
Cardinal Annette. Among those who at
tended the service were the Duchess of
Vendome eldest sister of King Albert,
and Nine. Cutlery, who came to Paris
from Brussels in 1870 to nurse the
wounded French soldiers.
The most touching scene of the day
was the special feast provided for the
Belgian refugees quartered at the Cirque
De Paris, where the exiles in spite of
the trials they have undergone, as
sembled to worthily celebrate their
kings fete day. Many thousands of
,ther Belgian exiles were received for
unch and dinner in private families.
The Belgian soldiers sent to Paris for
rest and who are occupying the forts
iround the fortified camp were not for
rotten. Special rations were served and
cave was granted them for an after
looms outing.

Begun in July, 1911. the trail has

1t seems that Harvard has an hon

distinction and the latter do the work,
as in the Brown game of last Saturday,
The distinction that comes to the hon

instead Of the burden bearing varsity.
Therefore, besides doing the work, the
