TWINS BORN IN TWO YEARS

Such Case on Record.

Philadelphia, Pa. - When twin
sisters in the frankfort hospital grow
up and write or tell when they we're
born one win say in 1914 and the
other in 1915, and the records at the
hospital will bear them out, The rec
ords are to this effect:
Born to Mrs. Anna Mckay of 1881
Hurley street, twin girls, on Dec. 81,
1914, and Jan. 1, 1915"
The oldest of the twins was born IN
the last minutes of the dying old year
and the other came to life as the in
FAINT year of 1915 was ushered into
being.
The bureau of vital statistics in this
city has no record Of a similar case
and so far as is known these babies
have the distinction Of being the first
twins to be born in different years.

Lost Fighting Machine Was Of $4,000
Tons and Carried -Four 12.Inch
Guns-Loss Of Trained Men
a Blow to England.

London, ngland.-England lost an
other OF her second-line battleships.
The Formidable, sister ship to 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 Il survivors are
known to have bsen picked up. Hope
is held out that at least few others
may have been saved. In a supple
mental announcement the admiralty
stated that the II survivors known to
have been rescued were picked up by
British light cruiser
While the official announcement
says that it is not yet known whether
the disaster was due to a submarine
or mine, it is generally believed
that the German submarines again
have scored. The German under-seas
craft have been very active in the
channel and along the Belgian coast
for the last month and it has required
the utmost precaution on the part of
the British naval commanders to keep
their vessels out of danger.
While the loss of the battleship it
self is minimized in official circles, in
asmuch as she was not considered of
the firstline strength, the loss of the
trained officers and men who manned
her is most serious.
Just what other warships were in
company with the Formidable when
she was destroyed is not permitted to
become known. That they made for
safety Immediately, abandoning the
Formidable to her 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.
The official announcement of the
admiralty was as follows: "The bat
tleship Formidable was sunk in the
channel. 1t is uncertain whether by
a mine or submarine. Seventy-one sur
vivors have been picked up, and it is
possible that there may be others not
| yet reported"
The Formidable cost a little more
than $5,000,000 to construct She was
considered one of the better class of
! the 1S-knot battleships and had been
used for coast guard duty and to as
sist in the fighting along the Belgian
coast since the German raid on the
British coast.
