CONQUEST VERSUS PURCHASE

Conquest versus purchase was the
theme of Dr.. Newell Dwight Hills in
his Brooklyn pulpit Sunday evening,
and he developed the idea that "all
the land in Belgium could be bought
for less money than has been spent
in conquering it." 1t may be. The area
CT Belgium is 727,S72 acres. If we sup
pose that Germany, France and En-
gland together are spending some $10,-
100000 day in the western war arena,
in $50 days the cost would come to
something like $4,000 an acre; certainly
at that price Germans could buy up ID
good share of the world if their money
held out. But pacific penetration" by
land purchase is hardly a complete SOL
ution of conflicts arising from inter
national ambition, nor is it very help
full to cite the purchase of Alaska by
the United States. because that was a
territorial acquisition. Acquisition by
purchase cannot be carried on indef-
initely; when natives begin to be
crowded off the soil national spirit
takes alarm and there is demand for
legislation against aliens. But while
as a means of peacefully extending
sovereignty land purchase abroad has
Its limitations, it does provide an out
let for surplus population which goes
far to make war unnecessary.-Spr |

WAR NEWS
BRITISH BATTLESHIP, SUNK

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The British bat
tleship Formidable was sunk in the
English channel, the admiralty offic-
tally announced. The statement said
it was uncertain whether it struck a
mine or was torpedoed by a sub
marine. Seventy-one of the survivors
were picked up and it is possible that
others were saved who have not yet
been reported, the statement said
| The Formidable was one of the best
of the English 18-knot battlecraft 1t
had been doing coast guard duty and
aiding in the fighting on the Belgian
coast. Its complement in peace times
was ISL. In war times it was prob
ably about 1000.
Despite the admiralty's expression
of uncertainty, it is the general belief
that the work of destruction was done
by submarines. In official circles it
is said that the loss of the ship
wasn't a matter of great Importance
since it was old and somewhat obse-
lete, but it was admitted that the
deah of trained officers and seamen
was serious blow What other war
ships accompanied the Formidable at
the time of the disaster wasn't known
today. The Formidable was built in
1901 and cost $5,O00000
A British light cruiser picked up the
II men, the admiralty stated later.
If any more were saved, it was added,
it was by other ships in that vicinity.
FURIOUS FIGHTING WITH TURKS

tween the Russians and Turks in

is admitted the Turks held Sarikamyah, |
but the trenches in front of the town
were taken by the Russians in a des-
perate bayonet charge. The Turks
losses are said to be enormous. In |

there is a comparative lull, while both |
