200 Safe From Formidable;
Captain Dies Sailors Death
Terrible Suferngs Are Experienced by Survivors Picked
Up After Perilous Trip in Cutter From
Sunken Battlesfip.


Us illustrated by the stories told hy sur
NiNors one man who was landed a.
Plymouth to-day described the affair as
follows:
Early on Friday morning there was
heavy sea running. Suddenly great
explosion was heard below. near the
magazine. Water rushed into tho ship
and Immediately tho fires we're drawn
and all the men who could do so hurried
on deck. Fortunately 'he magazine was
not struck. or not a soul aboard would
have been saved. The Formidable keeled
over on her starboard side and sank In
forty-lve minutes after tho explosion"
Mos; OF tho III known survivors have
been taken tovDartmouth. where many Of
them are IN the hospital suffering from
burns, exposure or shock. one or thcm
described his experiences In this way:
we barely had time 10 save ourselves
before the ship won't down. Tho Form.
dablc sank very rapidly both fore and AIT
The weather was very rough. as the gale
which had been blowing for several days
had Just begun TO die down The clothes
OF some OF the men picked up by the
trawler Providence were blown OF by the
explosion. One OF them said that the ship
seemed to have been lifted clear out OF
the water Then she was envelopcd by a
cloud OF thick black smoke. The maya
zine exploded tearing the ship apart just
as she settled and when most OF those
who were saved had left her"
Some reports say that the Formidable
was only thiry-five miles of the coast
when she was struck almost simultaneously
by two torpedoes one hitting aft and one
astern. AZ soon as the warship heeled
under the blows Il was realized that she
was doomed. Orders were given to launch
all the small boats. but before this had
been accomplished the ship went down.
Some OF the boats were sma shed against
In. oil nf IN hNs ha oh ea4 q
and others were thrown bottom up into
the water. There is "a possibility that the
| lis. OF the rescued will be increased when
a number of fishing boats which were in
| the vicinity make land. II Is thought
that some of the battleship's crew may
have been picked up and will be heard
| from later.
Newer ships In Safe Havens.
| That the Formidable and not a bigger
ship was sunk was due to the fact that
the Admiralty has been using the older
vessels in the attacks on the German
coast positions In Belgium and had kept
the dreadnoughts and Observation-Disclosures
in places where they would be reasonably
safe from submarine attack. The point
where the ship was sunk is about 200
miles from Zeebrugge. which, II is be
! lieved. has been employed as base from
which the Germans have delivered sub.
marine attacks
Apparently all the warships of the fleet
took TO their heels in obedience to a re
cent order when the explosion occurred
with the exception OF one vessel. which
stood by for a while but could not Civ,
aid because OF the roughness OF the sea
II is believed that. all the survivors viii

serious condition from the rigors of theii
experience.

LoNpoS, Jan. 2.--Thc British Admiralty
Issued Tonight supplementary list OF
survivors OF the battlcship Formidable.
which was sunk by a submarine of the
Devonshire coast yesterday. bringing the
number Of those saved lin 20 200 out OF
crew OF about 500.
The means b. which the Formidable
was destroyed and the exact spot where
the disaster occurred are still uncertain.
Survivors OF the vessel who have been
landed at BriNham are quoted as saying
that the ship was torpedoed fore and aft
and that she sank within forty-hve min
utes. carrying down with her between
$50 and go OF her crew
The attack was probably delivered
while the Formidable was proceeding
through heavy channel seas off the coast
o. Devonshire At lrst IL was presumed
that the vessel had been sunk near the
great British harbor at Portsmouth, but
now II appears that she was noarer TO

Mr. TAFT said In beginning that he APP
peared before the committee al the in
vitation OF the chairman and that he
would not have offered his opinion unless
it had been asked
lie drew a laugh from the committee
when he said that the first purpose OF
the United States IN being in the Philip
pines was T. get out" OF them That
he acknowledged was the purpose he had
in mind when President Mckinley invited
him to go to the Philippines. lie told
the President that ne didn't want 70 go
over there only 'to get out and Mr..
Mckinley replied:
"Oh, We have got the bear by the tai.
and We have got to stay and hold H."
Then NJ. Taft picked up one OF Presi-
dent Wilson's works and read what Mr..
Wilson believed we're the essential quail
fications OF a people fitted for self-govern-
mcnt I; was plainly Mr.. Tatts purpose
to contrast these words OF Mr.. Wilson
with the Democratic agitation for the eX-
tensions OF the self-government principle
in the Philippines as exemplified by the
pending Jones or Administration bill
MIR. TAFT read from Mr.. Wilson's works
elf-government is not a mere form
OF institutions to be had when desired.
II only proper pains be taken II is
a form Of character. II follows upon
long discipline which gives the people
self-po session self-mastery.
II would have been within the
choice Of King John to summon his
harons 10 Runnymedc OF his own ini-
tiatlve. enter into a constitutional
understanding with them and within
our choice to do a similar thing AZ
once, and wise and generous, in the
government Of the Philippine Islands.
But we cannot give them self-gov-
eminent. Self-government is not
thing that can be given 10 any people
because II IL IA form of character and
not form of constitution. No people
I can he given the sclf-control OF ma
turlty
Mr.. Wilson added that the peoples no
self-govcrnlng could not be presented
with the character OF a community" bu
that II could be confidently hoped tina
( they would become a community undel
/ the wholesome operation OF just laws anc
a sympathetic administration and tina

Mr.. Taft in Agreement.

Mr. tart IN Agreement
These statements by Woodrow Wilson,
Mr. Taft said, set forth exactly what he
had in mind.
ut states exactly what think to-day
with respect to the policy to be pursued
in the islands" said Mr.. Taft. He added
that ne hoped we might still do what we
we're doing when 'the new era dawned out
there under Governor-General Harrison. y
This was ito retain control and guidance
and give a good constitutional government
as an object lesson, TO have the Govern
ment participated In. but not controlled,
by tho natives; give them book and eco
nomic education and another view of
political Institutions by "A knowledge of
the language of free institutions"
Continuing. Mr.. Taft said
Now you cannot make one generation
over Certainly you cannot make over a
generation of adults 80 per cent OF whom
are wofully ignorant, utterly out of touch
with any modern civilization. You can
not make them over, 1t is not possible
you can talk about II. but you know In
your hearts you cannot do IT,
Gentlemen. ! am in "A situation where
| can tell you just what | thlnk-and
am going to do it
This was greeted with laughter
when you asked me-" Mr., Taft added,
what time | should put on the question
of production OF self government out there
and making those people over so that they
can know self government and understand
the object lesson that they are having, l
put tho time that shall give to those people
an opportunity to learn English that they
shall become an English speaking people
and that will certainly take more than
one generation and probably two, II you
count a generation as thirty years.
you are not educating all the people
In the Islands to-day you cannot do 50,
because you have not got the money.
But you have got to spread that education
and make II universal and keep 1t up until
the generation that Is in power and is
actually under the experience Of self
government partially extended to them
shall be an educated people"
The Democratic Policies.
Mr. Taft then turned to tie effect OF
| Democratic policies OF tho past and par
ticularly the Bryan campaigns on the
Philippines.
"Of course" he said. "our first diff

Opinions Differ.

There is conflict OF opinion
throughout the country as to the ad-
visibility of the financial interests OF
this country making a loan of $780,
10000 to the Allies for the purpose
of still carrying on the war in Eu-
rope, many contending that with the
loaning of this enormous sum, II Is
but natural that the sympathies OF
the lenders will go out to the coun-
tries benefited by the loan, and that
consequently a strong pressure will
be brought to bear on this govern
ment in favor of the Allies Be this
as It may, the loan has been financed,
as Will be noted from a New York
dispatch the first of the week:
The agreement between the Anglo
French financial commission and the
American bankers with whom they
have been comforting over the. pro
posed credit loan to Great Britain
and France has resulted in the form

Grain-Sampling Device.

A simple and new device for samp
ling grain, seeds and other material
is fully described In Dept. Bulletin
No. 2s7, a device for sampling grain.
seeds and other material. This de-
vice was developed by specialists OF
the department primarily to meet
the demands of grain and seed deal
ers and laboratory workers for
method of securing a reliable sample
of grain or seed from larger por-
ton of the material to be examined,
graded, or analyzed. The construc-
ton and the process used in the de-
vice have been made very simple and
yet are such as TO insure reliable
samples. The device does not re-
auire power of any kind, as its prin-
ciple is the distribution by gravity
of the material TO be sampled over
cone, which is provided with sepa-
rate ducts in a way to insure thor
ough mixture Of the grain. The de-
vice also can be so arranged that
one half of the sample can be used
for testing and grading, and the sec
ond half provided for the seller or
buyer. 1t can also be used for blend
ing two or more streams of wheat or
other grain in one or more sets OF
rows in a mill. The device also can
be used for sampling -four, meal,
feeds, coal, ore. or any other materi-
al of like kind or to mix or blend and
} divide two or more streams of unlike
material. and yet provide thorough
mixture of all the kinds of material

Earthuuake Rocks the Country.

Credulous people have reason to be-
lieye that some dire calamity Is In
store for this country and point to
disturbances the past week as ba-
sis for their belief. Last week
severe storm and hurricane visited
the southern section of the United
States. and as result, in the vicinity
of New Orleans and the gulf coast
there is reported over 500 lives lost
and I'm the city of New Orleans alone
the property loss will reach over
s25.OOO.0OO. On the heels OF this
storm came an earthquake shock that
shook the entire western country.
and on Monday night of this week
another series of shocks were plainly
felt In the upper peninsula of Michi-
gan. At Houghton, Mich, pictures
we're thrown from the walls by the
shock and glass broken from build
ings. and other damage done.
The shock that occurred on Satur-
day night last was confined to the
western slope and was most severe
in Nevada, where considerable dam
age was done 1t was preceptibly
felt all over the southern part OF
Idaho, and even at Jerome the earth
quake was plainly felt. At Boise the
shock was somewhat greater. and al
II was on the eve of the dedication
of the Arrowrock dam some fear was
felt that the upheaval might have

Idaho Lands Open for Entry.

On November 10th, says a Wash
ington dispatch. the department of
the interior will open for entry under
the enlarged homestead act" 5O,-
S49 acres of land in Ada, Boise, Can
yon, Gem and Washington counties.
The land has been passed upon by
the geological survey and held to be
dry farm land, subject TO entry under
sections 20 of the enlarged home
stead act, insofar as they may be
vacant, public and untimbered.'
Not all of the land to be opened is
vacant, and there have been as well
great many applications for desig-
nation made by property owners
whose homesteads adjoin lands TO be
opened for entry.
1t must be borne in mind that any
new applications presented prior to
Nov. 10, 1915, will be rejected.

ton and Idaho. SO violent were the
tremors in Nevada that according to
reports received Sunday. railroad
water tanks along the Southern Pa
cific were thrown down and other
minor damage was caused. The dis
turbances began in the afternoon,
reaching as far north as Victoria,
b. c.
Although the vibrations were un-
usually strong and the duration of
the two night shocks exceptionally
alarming. some points reporting that
the disturbance lasted almost min
ute. comparatively little damage was
caused.
Nowhere was real damage done
except in Nevada, although the sway
ing of buildings in various cities stir
red up great excitement.
In San Francisco the shocks were
barely perceptible.
Salt Lake-Prof. F j Pack, ge-
ologist OF the University of Utah,
said Sunday that in his opinion slip
of the noted Wasatch Fault extend
ing about $50 miles north and south
along the Wasatch mountains OF
Utah caused the third and most vio-
lent shock here Saturday. His seis
mograph record indicates that the
first shock was about 1000 miles
distant, the second about 500 mile
and the third practically local. Th
third shock threw the stylus of tn
seismograph against the fange o

Waste OF Land in Roads.

In Kansas and the middle west, a
public road is four rods. or sc feet
wide, by decree OF the government |
survey. The makers of macadam for |
state roads rarely pretend to build |
roadbeds more than Is feet wide A
farm wagon is four feet eight inches
wide from wheel to wheel Add one
foot for hubs, and still three such
vehicles can be placed abreast in the
1S-foot road.
In the four rod government high
way ten wagons could be set side by
side in single rank. 1t sounds ex-
travagant, and it is. Each mile of
government roadway contains eight
acres of land. Much of it is perfectly
good land, capable of growing 500
bushels OF corn to the mile Count
ing one rod as enough for proper
road use, six acres in each mile is
pure waste.
Thousands of miles of the best
highways in England. France and
Germany are only one rod wide, but
If that seems too stingy for your
Uncle Sam call it two rods for us,
and we are still throwing away four
acres on each mile Multiply these
figures for the state of Iowa by the
104, 200 miles of public road, and we
have 416,0OO acres of the best farm
ing land in the world just wasted.
In Kansas the government surveyors
have been able to divert 393,200
more acres from proper uses to moth
ing at all. This unusual space serves
only to grow weeds. The roadsides
are often the greatest weed museum;
in a good farming country. Eacl
year they produce enough seed t(
keep the neighboring farms perpetu
