advocate Of peace. 1t is not in line
with that reputation to supply the in

OF the arch-hypocrite among the ma
tons? Are we to go upon our knees
and pray for peace and at the same
time supply the death dealing instru-

Are we to plead with God for peace
with the blood money in our pockets?
We are now in the position of send

Germany cannot be beaten in this
war. Her people are united and de-
termined to fight to the last drop Of
blood. If this war continues it will go
on until all the world is dragged down

SEVENTY-ONE SURVIVORS

The Irresistible and

London. Jan. 4.-Great Britain has
lost another of its second line battle
ships. The Formidable, sister ship of
the Bulwark, which was destroyed on
Thanksgiving day, was blown up in
the English channel.
1t is feared that about 700 members
of the crew of $50 have been lost. The
admiralty says that II survivors are
known to have been picked up by a
British light cruiser. Hope is held
out that at least a few others may
have been saved, but it is Of the slight

Although the official announcement
said it is not known yet whether the
accident was due to q submarine or a
mine, it is generally believed that the
submarines have again scored.
Activity Of Germans.
The German undersea craft have
been very active in the channel. and
along the Belgian coast for the last
month, and it has required the ut
most precaution ON the part of the
British naval commanders to keep
their ships out of danger.
While the loss of the battleship it.
self is minimized in official circles. in
asmuch as it was not considered of the
first line strength, the loss of the
trained officers and men who manned
1t is most serious.
Just what other warships were in
company with the Formidable wheu it
was destroyed is not permitted to be-
come known. That they made for
safety Immediately, abandoning the
Formidable to its fate, in accordance
with the admiralty rules, is certain,
and to this is due the heavy casualty
list. The water of the channel is so
cold at present that the sailors had
practically no chance for life.
Pick Up n Survivors.
The text of the official announcement
follows:
THE battleship Formidable was
sunk in the channel, but whether by a
mine or submarine is not yet certain,
"Seventy-one survivors have been
picked up by British light cruiser
and it is possible that others may
have been rescued by other vessels"
The Formidable cost little more
than $5,OOO.O0O to construct. 1t has
been used for coast guard duty and
to assist in the fighting along the Bel
gian coast since the German raid on
the British coast.
The Formidable had assigned to it..
according to the British navy list for
December, various fleet officers, and
undoubtedly was acting as flagship
at the time of it's destruction. It's
captain was Arthur N. Loxley and it's
commander Charles F. Ballard.
Captain John G. Deed was in COM
mand Of the marines on board, while
the fleet surgeon was Godfrey Tay-
lor and the fleet paymaster P. ]. Ling.
The chaplain is given as the Rev.
George B. Robinson. On board the
Formidable also were 16 midshipmen.

portant Happenings May
Be Expected Hourly.

London, Dec. 30.-British observers
Of the progress of the war point to the
admission in the Austrian official an
nouncements that Russia is once more
master of the passes in the Carpathian
mountains and that the troops along
the entire Austrian front from the Bia-
la river to a point northeast of the
Dukla pass seem to be falling back
This means the withdrawal of viz
tually all the forces which swept
across the mountains to form the ex-
treme right in the concerted Austro,
German attack on the Russian armies
and its marks another surprising re-
versal of form on the part of the Aus
TRAN soldiers, whose battle fortunes
since the outbreak of hostilities have
been conspicuously erratic.
Only Slight Gains In West.
Elsewhere in the eastern arena Of
the war little change has been re.
corded, while on the western front the
slow and tedious trench warfare goes
on uninterrupted, with only slight
gains on either side.
The British press comedies the i'm
portance of the trenches near Hole
beke, south of Ypres, which have been
taken by the Germans, and points
out that the strategetic value of these
positions has been emphasized re.

Fear of Zeppelin raid over London

BARNES SAYS HE
 WAS MlSQUOTED. ION PRIMARY LAW

Syracuse, N. Y, May 14-Counsel for Theodore Roosevelt were ready today to vigorously cross examine William Barnes when the trial of his libel suit was again resumed. The Examination, 1t was said, would prob ably continue over the usual week end recess which was to be taken at the end of today's session of court.
 When MT. Barnes resumed the stand William. M. ~Ivins, his chief counsel, asked him about the testi- mony of Loyal W. France, a witness for Col. Roosevelt, who quoted MT. Barnes as saying, in speaking of di- rect primaries, that he could ruin the reputation of any man by throw ing enough hmelight upon him and that he could vote the riff-raff of the Democratic party in the Republican primaries, and so disgust the people that they would demand the repeal of the primary law.
 What I said to MT. France,'' as- serted MT. Barnes, twas that I was against the primary law as it then stood I said that. the opposite par ty could injure any man in the prf- naries if they desired to do so.7'
 Did yoa say the system of direct primaries was subversive to party in terests ?'' etIt couldn't be-"
 Did you say party organization was essential to the maintenance of our institutions?' ?'' 'I did.'
 MT. Barnes said in substance. that aside from the last declaration he was asked about, MT. France had misquoted him.
 MT. Barnes concluded his direct testimony by defending his Organiza- ton policies. denying parts of the testimony of, Theodore Roosevelt and Loyal w. France and contradicttng William Loeb. He declared that the Colonel reproached him when, in 1910 he did not vote for the former Presi- dent as the temporary of the state convention.

GERMAN OFFICE ADMITS
 BIC GAIN BY FRENCH.

London, May 14-For the first time in the past six months the authors of the German and French ocia1 an on the progress of hos tilities find themselves in agreement The German communicable admits the truth of the more important of the claims made by General Joffre, the French mnander-in-chief, as to the great successes won by the French between La Bassee and Arras- If this attack can be pushed home the consequences will be still, more mark ed. in the opinion of British military comm entators, who are claiming to- day that a. little further advance by the French will open g. conspicuous gap in the German line, a develop ment which will necessitate the fall ing back of the Germans on wide front
 To the north of La Bassee, the British are said to be no more than holding their own but at the same time they are keeping great masses of Germans engaged, troops who oth- erwise would be available against the French offensive
 In the eastern field. the Germanic forces in Galicia who are said to number 1,500,oOo men, are reported to be within 20 miles of Przemysl.

A crowd which favored Italyss interven- ton went last night to the hotel at which Gabriel D'Annunzio is stopping and cheered until the poet appeared on a balcony and spoke in favor of war.
 Mounted police cleared the square but the demonstration was contin- ued for some time in the central. part of the city. The meeting of minis ters yesterday afternoon was not, strictly speaking a cabinet meeting5 according to the Giornale D'Italia- The ministers met merely to discuss the situation created by popular agi- tation for war and to consider ques- tions which will be discussed at the next formal meeting of the cabinet
