DEMOCRATS Will
SUCCEED BRADY
John J. Nugent Appointed
to Senate Vacancy By
Governor Alexander
fRv Associated Press.l

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 3.-Democratic
majority in the United States senate
gained another member today when
John F. Nugent Of Boise was APP
pointed by Gov. Moses Alexander to
succeed the late Senator Brady.
Nugent has been a prominent Demo-
cratic leader in this state for years
having been chairman OF the state
central committee from 1908 to 1912.
He will serve until a successor is
elected at the coming November cleo
tons. He is 40 years old. He be-
came well known through acting as
an attorney for the Western Fedora
ton OF Miners at Silver City, Idaho,
and when he was associated with
Clarence Darrow and other attorneys
in the defense OF officers OF that
organization who were charged with
conspiracy in connection with the
murder OF Governor Steunenberg in
1905. Senator William Il. Borah,
senior senator from Idaho, aided the
state in the prosecution OF those
men. ....
The new senator is in Washington
now having gone there Immediately
after Senator Brady's death. It is
expected that he will take the oath
of office in few days.

OIL and COAL
Land LEASING
Senator Pitman Decl~~es
Bill Will Settle Cues
ton For West
(By Associated Press.l

Denver Colo, Jan. %. - Senator
Pittman, Of Nevada, speaking today
to the American Mining congress,
here, declared congress has no in
tention of extending the leasing
system to metalliferous mining, and
If the Pittman- Walsh oil and coal
land leasing bill becomes a law the
leasing question as far as the west
is concerned would be settled for
years.
"On the contrary" the Nevada
senator adds, IF the pending legis
lation which has already passed the
senate is defeated and the matter
drifts on as it has drifted for years,
then it is possible that congress in
desperation and in need Of resources
may take hold Of all Of the lands,
metalliferous and Observation-Disclosures,
and develop them as government
projects. This is not drifting to-
wards the leasing of metalliferous
mines, but it is the final destination
of policy against the leasing Of
metalliferous mines."
Senator Pittman said the oil
leasing bill represents the maximum
Of what can be expected from the
senate and admitted a hard fight
would be necessary to pass it in the
house. He said citizens Of western
states maintained that the public
lands and all they contain are held
in trust and have always been held
in trust for the people Of the west
ern states. Instead of belief in this
principle becoming stronger in con-
gress, Senator Pittman declared it
has received less support from year
to year, and now at least a majority
in the senate oppose the theory and
maintain that the public lands and
the minerals and wealth therein
contained are the property of all the
people Of the United States and
should be administered by all of the
people Of the United States. For
that reason, he urged the people Of
the western states to be unselfish in
their demand for new legislation.
The insistence by enthusiasts and
those having personal interests to
impose upon a bill an amendment
that is obnoxious to the majority is
the surest method Of defeating leg
islation," Senator Pittman said.

AZ Assooiated Preas.l

London, Jan. 23.-The British de-
stroyer Lizard was about two miles
from the northeasterly point Of the
island of Imbros on patrol duty at
$500 o'clock last Sunday morning
when it sighted the warships Goeben
and Breslau OSultan Selim and Mi
dullu), says an official statement
from the admiralty giving detailed
report of. the engagement which re-
suited in the loss Of the Breslau and
the Bleaching Of the damaged Goeoen.
The Breslau was steaming in
northerly direction followed by the
Goeben which was about mile
astern. The Lizard at once rave the
alarm and opened fire.
The Goeben sighted British moni-
tors in Cusu bay in the northern
corner of Imbros and engaged them'
the Breslau continuing to fight the
Lizard. The destroyer Tigress now
joined the Lizard and the two de-
stroyers endeavored to cover the
monitors by forming a smoke screen.
Meanwhile the monitor Raglan had
been hit heavily and sank. The small
monitor M. % which was on fire
amidships blew up and finally disap-
peared about a. m. The enemy then
ceased his fire and altered his course
to the southwark.
Follow the Enemy.
The Tigress and the Lizard fol-
lowed the enemy. At a. m. when
the Breslau was about six miles
south of Cephalo, large explosion
was observed abreast her after fun
mel. Two or three minutes later
three more explosions took place and
at 10 minutes past seven she sank
by the stern.
The Goeben continued a southerly
course until an attack by British
forced her to alter her course
and head for the Dardanelles. In the
act OF turning, she struck a mine
which caused her to settle down aft.
She proceeded slowly up the Oar
danelles, escorted by enemy sea-
planes and the four Turkish de-
stroyers which had returned to her

most OF us until noon, then had a
scanty lunch and about s o'clock
Christmas night had rather gem
erous meal.
Christmas dinner came the next
day. It was then, for there was tur-
key, that we had time to think of
home. nearly 5000 miles away. For
England while not suffering, is
serving no more than the law al
lows and is absolutely needful. But
the great majority OF the boys are
looking for the cheerful and the
funny side of things rather than the
disagreeable and hard things. Ser

marked after Christmas dinner:

Christmas Dinner.
For dinner consisted Of a well
roasted turkey served to fourteen
men, dry bread. no butter, no cof-
fee, water, and no potatoes. Bread,
turkey and water! But there wasn't

with ii q gravy, boiled rice, pota-
toes and more bread. The English
have charge OF messing the men here.
The United States system Of lining
men up single file and marching
them by a serving station where
cooks and kitchen help dish out the
various items on the menu, is no
longer used. Men march into a mess
hall and fourteen are seated at a
table. One Of the men is detailed to
60 to the kitchen where he receives
q dish pan full of chuck" For the
last four evenings ID has been the
same. Two loaves Of bread, two cans
OF jam, cheese, butter and coffee,
all for fourteen men. The bread is
made OF whole wheat flour, is dark
and really is very palatable. You
get used to ii. Besides we drew a
big ration of nuts and half a box Of
dates as special Christmas dinner.
Since coming here life has been
one great loaf. The boys have, OUT
side of a small hike each day, had
nothing to do but sit around the
barracks. Everything is very much

Value Of English Money.
It Is giving a lot OF boys who

figure out the values Of English
money. They have all learned that
the English penny is worth two OF
the United States cents, and that a
shilling Is twelve pennies, but when
Ii gets into sixpence, thrupence,
ha'penny forms, sovereigns, crowns,
etc. they are hopelessly at sea.
But then the sOvereigns and pounds

much for the eagle has not as yet
screamed or the sovereign "souved"
and they are waiting for the ''ha'-
