Must Be Expected.

London, Jan. 1, 1O:20 D. ln.-The e destruction of the British battleship Formidable in the English Channel today by a mine or a submarine boat, which, although it is one of those events Englishmen now realize must be expected so long as the British navy is compelled to keep to the seas, has caused widespread grief
 This is not due so much to the loss of the ship, which ' IS fifteen years old and cost about $5,0O0,O0O, as it is to the death of the men-600 in num- ber-who are believed to have gone down with her. Thus far only 150 men of the Formidable's crew of 750 are known to have been rescued. A light cruiser picked up eighty and a Tor Bay trawler seventy.
 Locality Kept Secret.
 The British admiralty has not given the locality where the disaster oc- cured and declares that it is unable to say whether the ship struck a mine or was torpedoed; but as the British fleet again has been active in shelling the German positions on the Belgian coast, and as the German submarines have been more and more using See brugge as a base, the inclination here is to believe that a submarine again has been successful in an attack

GOLD FAILS
TO AID CREDIT
Pound Sterling Touches a

British Unit of Value Is Is
Cents Under Nor
NAL Value

New York, Aug. 3l,-Twenty million
dollars Of English gold and $25,000,00c
in American stocks and bonds, hastily
shipped to New York by Great Britain
to stem the downward course of the
pound sterling toward new depths of de-
probation, failed yesterday to accom-
plish the task and new low valuation
of $4.6l& was placed on the English
pound in the face OF the big gold ship
ment. This is 254 cents less than the
normal value of the pound in this mar
ket and establishes a new low record
for the fourth consecutive business day.
Francs also were weaker, yesterdays
quotation OF 5.9a1a being one cent low
er than Saturdays close. Lires, how
ever, were slightly stronger, being quot
ed at $50 as against 6.52 on Saturday.
What is to be done with the $25,000,-
600 of American securities which formed
part of the shipment was the subject of
speculation. Beyond stating that the to-
tai of American securities sent here for
Great Britain's account in this and the
previous shipment was between 10000
600 and 500, 100000, consignees OF the
shipment had nothing to say. 1t had
been popularity believed that these Sc
eurities would be used as a basis for the
of some sort of foreign
credit here. Adjustment of tn situa-
lion, it was said. awaits the arrival of
