r Germany Scot In BRITAIN CRIFVFS iL?iM i nin uiuu t uu FOR LOSS OF MtN SEWS OF DISASTER DWARFS ALL OTHER <;reat Battles on Two Fronts by Land j ' Temporarily Lose Interest of Nation Wtoeh Trusts to Dommjon by Sea. London, Jan. 1.?The destruction of the British battleship Formidable in the English channel today by a ?or a submarine boat, although one of those events Englishmen real zz must he expected so long as '4 the British n^vy is compelled to keep ! to the seas, has caused widespread grief. This is due not so much to the loss of the ship, which was 15 years old and cost about $5,000,000, it is for the men?about 600 in number? who went down with her. So far as known only 150 of the Formidable's 'crew of 750 were rescued. The British admiralty has not given the locality where the disaster occurred and declares it is unable to say whether the ship struck a mine or was torpedoed; but as tfce British fleet again has "been active in shelling German positions on the Belgian i coast an-d as German submarines have been more and more using Zee* brugge as a base, the inclination here is to believe that a submarine again had been successful in an attack. Battles /n Two Forts. , (News from the front "was dwar ed today by this latest loss to the British navy, although big battles are taking I place along the two fronts. , Fighting in Flanders and northern France .ras been confined largely to | artillery engagements, except nea"! Bethune*, where the Germans claim ; they "nave taken a British trencn. I'ney admit, howe'.er, the loss of St. Georges, near lh? Belgian coast, ' which the Berlin cnh-iay report says :t was decided nc; to a';enipt to retake owing to high water. In the Argcnne region, where the battle has been alncs: continuous .or weeks past, the Ger mans aave ma:i1 j little progress, a* an oii- t to . however, t! e French declare fr? y "have continued their ; :]vance in .. ( per A.sace. <# ?!? \ IT!) .11 iUWiV *.? On the whole the situation se?m$ ; virtually to have reached a position > to stale mate. Neither si-de has made 1 great impression on its antagonist's j line and both being very strong.y entrenched it is considered unlikely that ' either tTe Germans or allies will at-: I tempt anoth * general offensive until ; \ superiority in nuinibers is attained. I Mu?ch the same situation prevails j I in northern Poland, where the Ger fct *ians are reported to have failed to B cross the Bzura and Rawka rivers and j ^to have been unsuccessful in advanc- j ^png along the Pilica river. They are j B^V*aid to be digging themselves in. pre oaratory to remaining until the hard Bening of the ground by the frost V makes troop movements less diffiHF The growth of the British army is B shown by an army order issued toB night constituting six armies of thre^ corps each. Thus several generals H wiro commanded army corps at the ' beginning of the war now find Cemselves at the head a. armies. \ Cow A gam. : Newberry Sun.

Washington, Jan. 1.?Ambassador W%t nines Page in a long report from Ix>nd<i>n today after his confererco with high officials there, described the general attitude of the British govern meat and peop.'e towards the American note o. protest concerning shipping as entirely friendly. "He said a rej.-'y had been promised within a few gays.. The ambassador detailed British I press criticism, wi-ose tone he regard- | ed as on the whole reasonable and j amicable. In some quarters, not ! among officials, he found a disposi-! tion to search for a motive behind. the American note, some Englishmen i suggesting that 'Washington had been j compelled to yield to pressure crom ! members of congress representing con- . stituencies affected by trade interrup-1 tions. This portion of English public opinion seemed to thing the Amer- i i^an ftote was intended to some ex- j tent for home consumption. Meant in Earnest. Washington officials pointed ou to- ' night tr.at there was not the slightest f/.-niHaiimi for su*>h a suggestion as the note was not originally intended;] for thpress. It is understood that Ambassador Page had anticipated mistaken impressions by assuring th? British government informally that the I'nnxd Stated was thoroughly in earnest. Tr.c note was phrased in a.candid ^nd frank manner, he is understood to have explained; particularly, it was net w.-ir<^ or publication.
