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

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

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

' beginning of the war now find Cemselves

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. As the
synopsis leaked our, however, the ambassador

Officials read the views in the British
press with much interest. The
argument that England is -.ighting
what she believes to be a life and
death struggle, it was pointed out, was

fully recognized in the American note,
bat it was contended that dela.. s ana
