CAPTAIN CHEEKY
AS HIS SHIP SANK
Commander of the Formidable
Smoked Cigarette as Hope
of Life Grew Dim.

London, Jan. 4.-Further details OF
the loss Of the Formidable obtained
from survivors show that the battle
ship was steaming between l6 and IS
knots when the report of loud eX-
plosion on the starboard bow was
heard. At the moment of the eXplo-
sion Captain Loxley. together with
Commander Ballard and the signalling
officer, was seen on the bridge. The
first order given by Captain LoXley
was to close the watertight doors, and
in the next breath he ordered the
crew piped TO quarters. OF the $50
men forming the crew all formed upon
deck with the exception of one hum
dred or so who were doing the middle
watch below, and who would wait the
order to clear the lower deck. Perfect
order reigned. Captain LoXley was
smoking cigarette.
Captain Loxley gave his orders as
calmly as if his ship had been in har-
Dor with her anchors down." said one
rescued sailor.
THE only sign he gave that any
thing was amiss was a brief speech
with which he eXhorted his crew:
STEADY, men. Everything is all right.
Keep cool and be British! There's
tons of life in the old ship yet

Extremely Rainy Weather
Prevents Operations
on Large Scale.

London, Jan. 3.-The extremely rainy
weather. the worst Europe has expert
enced in years, has prevented any op-
erations on a large scale on the west
ern battlefront.
There have been heavy artillery en-
gagements from the sea to the SWISS
borders and occasional attacks o. the
infantry of the opposing armies, which
when not repulsed, have added few
yards to the territory in the possession
of the attacking force, but have always
roved costly adventures.

HUSBAND GONE, SHE
JUMPS TO DEATH
Wife of Y. NJ. 6. A. Man
Sent to Asylum Hurls
Self from Cliffs.

Paterson. y. j., Jan. 3.-After telling
the story that her ffteen-yesr-old son
was lost in Paterson and that she
was in the city looking for him. Mrs.
A. B. Cooper, Of IA Center ST., Nutley,
y. j., leaped $50 feet from the cliffs
at the Falls of the Parsaic River this
afternoon and was crushed TO death in
the VALLEY of the Rocks" Her body
struck short distance from the old
Colonial homestead Of the late John
Ryle, Paterson's pioneer silk manu-
facturer.
Her twenty-year-oid son, Andrew II.
Cooper. appeared at police headquar-
ters and claimed her effects. lie SAID
his father. who was bookkeeper IN
one OF the branches OF the \. VI. [. y,
i'm New York City. was taken last Sat
urday to the New Jersey state Asylum
for the Insane at Morris Plains.
It is thought that dependency over
this fact prompted Mrs Cooper to end
hey life. A small amount Of money,
a gold watch and a diamond brooch
we're found upon her person. That she
cdrctullN planHeu utI ucoNh was -.
vealed by a small piece Of paper with
her name and address written upon II
and pinned to her dress.
Mrs. Cooper was first noticed IN
Paterson when she accosted twelve
year-old William Haywood, Of 374 To,
iowa av.. son Of a statiOner and
newsdealer. and asked that he accom-
pany her to the Soldiers Monument
at Passaic Falls. He took her to the
SPOT, which overlooks the business sec
tion of Paterson. The monument IS
in a small park west of which are the
falls. and on the east or toward the
citv is a stretch of about 200 feet OF
steer cliffs. Although there is a sheer
drop of from 100 TO $50 feet TO the
Jagged rocks below, no railing pro-
tects the spot.
When she reached this spot Mrs.
Cooper seemed TO be wrapped IN
thought Suddenly she ran to the edge
Of the highest cliff and leaped far out
into the air. Her body shot head fore
most down and her head landed upon
IN rocks. Detectives Elvin. Close, De
duccia and several policemen picked up
the shattered body and took II 10 the
morgue, while her family and the Nut
ley police were notllied.

Germans Bombard
Zonnebeke Region

Paris. Jan. 3.-The following oinclal
communication was issued tonight:
According 20 the latest adylces re-
ceived here. there has been no aitera-
tion in the situation.
"The weather continues 20 be very
bad on almost the whole front.
The official statement issued carrier
in the day says:
"During the day of January 2 we
strengthened the position 70 the north
Of Lys gained during the preceding
days. The enemy has shown activity
onlv in the region of Zonnebeke, which
he has violently bOmbarded. FROM the
Lys TO Arras there is almost complete
quiet.
in the region Of Albert and Roye ana
our infantry advanced some 300 metres
near La Boisselle.
"From the Disc 10 the Meuse on the
plateau of Touvent our heavy artillery
has demolished ceveral fortlhcatlohs
from which the enemy was hsrasslhg
our sappers.
place 20 the west and the east OF
Craonne. Near Perthes-les-Hurlus we
have progressed about three hundred
metres Near Beausejour there has
been infantry fighting, in which We
have inflicted serious losses on the
enemy
"The Germans have launched two
attacks without success in the Forest
of La Grurie. On all this portion OF
the front the artillery has shown
everywhere great activity.
"In the region OF Verdun and on
the heights of the Meuse there was an
artillery duel. We have again gained
a little ground in the Forest OF Bou-
chon. northeast of Troyon, and in the
Forest OF lie Pretre, northwest OF
Pont- t-a-Mousson.
In the Vosges we have occupied one
Of the cnemy's trenches. Artillery en-
gagements have taken place in the
Ban de Sapt and in the valley Of the
Fave.
I'm Upper Alsace our former gains
in the region Of Thanh have been
maintained. We have bombarded
German train in the railway station
of Altkirch and caused some damage
on the railway between Carspach and
Dierspach, TO the southwest OF Alt
kirch.
''In general. the perceptible abate-
ment which can be noted in our active
defensive should be attributed TO the
incessant rains, which soak the ground
and make operations everywhere al
most impossible"

BALKAN KINGDOMS
PREPARE FOR WAR
Steps to Secure Bulgarian
Neutrality Apparently
Not Successful.

London, Jan. 3.-The persevering
steps which have been taken TO bring
about an understanding between the
Christian Balkan States, with the idea
of securing the neutrality of Bulgaria,
apparently have not met with complete
success, according to dispatches re-
ceived in London from the near east
ern capitals and Greece, Servia and
Rumania are preparing for eventuali-
ties.
During a discussion OF the budget in
the Greek Chamber of Deputies VI.
Theokotis is reported to have declared
that the speech recently delivered by
the Bulgarian Premier regarding Mace
donla, which Bulgaria considered
should have been ceded 10 her after
the last Balkan war, constituted
menace; while the Greek Minister Of
Finance said that Greece was making
urgent military preparations to main
tain her liberated territory.
Another dispatch from Athens says
that the Greek government has forbid
den the expectation Of cereals, flour,
cattle, forage and arms.
Should Bulgaria, contrary to eXpec-
tations, attack Servia, with the object
of recovering Macedonia, Greece, by
her treaty obligations, would, it is
thought in political circles here, come
to the assistance OF Servia, and the
Balkan Peninsula would be in the
throes of third war,
Turkey apparently expects trouble. as
the Ottoman government has expelled
the subjects Of all neutral countries
from the Dardanelles.
In Albania the revolution is said to
be spreading and the Italians, who oc
cupied the seaport of Avlona, I've sent
battleship to Durazzo TO protect
Italian interests at that Albanian port.

London. Jan. 3. - Tn. "Daily

New Year message, dated Rome,
Saturday:
The Pope, who is father of all
the faithful alike, weeps over the

his fervent prayers TO a common
Redeemer, the Prince of Peace, TO
the end that He may inspire in the
governments of the belligerent ma
tions the feelings of Christian char
ity that will at last put an end TO
this frightful war which is desolat
ing humanity. The press of every
land ought to give its mighty sup
port to this holy mission of peace.

Fists followed explanations and a
strong hand ripped Mr.. Jacobs's over

even stronger hand sought Mr.. Jacobs's
eve. The crowd and the eye swelied.

Presently Mr. Jacobs's suit cracked
under the strain just as Patrolman
Shapiro arrived. Throughout the melee
Mr. Jacobs had been holding on 10 the
money with one hand and holding of
his assailAnts with the other.
Shapiro and another policeman drew
their clubs. plunged into the centre OF
things and came out with Mr.. Jacobs
and the fifteen. There was Il near riot
during the march to the police station,
but the patrolmen finally delivered Mr..
Jacobs safely, though in tatters, and
closed ne station doors IN the face OF
the clamoring mob.
when Mr. Jacobs inquired MS rights
in the matter he found he didn't have
any. A great many years from now,
