London. Jan. 2. - The destruction
of the British battleship Formidable in
the English channel today by a mine
or submarine boat, although one OF
those events the Englishmen now r>a,

This is not due so much to the loss
Of the ship, which was IS years old

which pertains to the preparations of

the Rockefeller interests. This pom
phlet was prepared by Mr.. Ivy Lee of
Philadelphia, Executive assistant to

his connection with it's preparation
should be kept secret. Lee was per-
sonally employed by John D. Rookie
Teller, Jr. He is a member of the
American Economic association, and
a Fellow of the Royal Economic So

easily purchased are a certain variety
of learning and brains. AS a reward

The Commission wants to find out

matter. Can John D. Jr. teach a Sun
