BRITISH WARSH|P
FORMIDABLE LOST;
TO OF CREW DIE
l5,0O0-Ton Ship Hit by German
Submarine.
ONLY II MEN ARE SAVED
Survivors Are Rescued by Light
Cruiser and Are Taken Ashore
BY a TrawIer-Disaster Oc-
ours in English Channel.

London, Jan. 2.-The British bat
ueship Formidable has been sunk in
the English channel, it was officially
announced by the admiralty through
the government press bureau.
The Formidable carried a compile
ment of $50 men. She was command
ed by Capt. Arthur N Loxley. Her
displacement was $4,000 tons.
The following official statement was
given out:
The British battleship Formidable
was sunk in the English channel
oeVenty-one members of her crew
were saved. 1t is not known at this
time whether the ship was sunk by
mine or German submarine"
The Formidable is the twentieth
big ship lost by England since the
war broke out.
Not more than so of the 800 men
aboard the battleship Formidable
were saved, according to the first Off
cial list of the survivors issued by
the admiralty. Fourteen officers and
sc men were rescued, says the admir-.
atty
The survivors we're landed by a
trawler during terrific storm, accord
ing to a report to the Exchange Tele
graph company. The point at which
they were landed is deleted by the
censor.
Ship Carried Big Guns.
The Formidable was a sister ship
of the Irresistible and the Implaca
bic. She was completed in 1901 and
put in commission in 1903 and carried
the following armament: Four IL
Inch guns in pairs in turrets, fore and
aft; IL six-inch guns in easements;
16 three-inch guns (12-pounders), six
three-pounders, two machine guns and
torpedo tubes.
The officers of the Formidable, in
addition to Captain Loxley, were:
Commander Charles F. Ballard. Lieu
tenant Commander William C. Harri.
son, Lieutenant Commander Henry L
Street, Lieut. Henry D. Simcnds
Lieut.. Trevor H. S. latham, Lieut.. Ed
mund A. Hill, Lieut.. Hugh C. H. Cox,
Lieut.. Bernard w. Greathed and Lieut.
James C. j. Soutter.
The press bureau announcement
was made at two o'clock and caused
much excitement. The immediate
conclusion reached was that German
submarines had again become busy in
retaliation for the Christmas raid OF
the British against Cuxhaven
The Formidable has been attached
to the home fleet and has been used
both for patrol duty and to guard
transports plying between English
and French ports.
The last heavy naval loss sustained
by the British was the destruction of
the battleship Bulwark, which was
blown up by mysterious explosion
off Sheerness on November 26.
The survivors of the Formidable
we're picked up by a light British
cruiser which was in the neighbor
hood when the disaster occurred.
In making the announcement it was
pointed out by the secretary of the
admiralty that it was impossible tc
estimate the exact number of victims,
because other survivors may have
been picked up by other ships which
were near by when the Formidable
went down.
