Ambassador Walter H. Page, In London, Makes Report On Manner In Which Eng land Took U. s. Note.
SOME QUARTERS WERE
 LITTLE FAULT-FINDING
Blamed Congressman With An Attempt to Win Over Their Constituency Through Act of Writing Bold Note.

WASHINGTON. Jan 1.-Ambassa- dor Walter Hines Page. in long re- port from London following his con ference with high officials there. des- cribed the general attitude of the British governmeu. and people to- ward the American note ae entirely friendly.
 He said a reply is pro sed within a very few days
 Reports of another American note. in preparation, concerning tuc listing Of absolute and conditional contra. band are said by officials to have grown out of the suggestion in the American note that while these ar- ucles are open to objection they win be further discussed at another time
 Ambassador Page detailed the Brit. ish press criticism whose tone he re- garded as on the whole reasonable and amicable In some quarters. not among officials. he found a disposl- tion to search for a motive behind the American note. some Englshmen suggesting that the Washin-t0u ud ministration has been compelled tu yield co the pressure from members Of congress representing that their constituency is yitally effected by the interruption of trade
 This portion Of the English public opinion seemed to think the Ameri can note is intended to some extent for home consumption High officials in the Washington government point ed out tonight that there is not the slightest foundation for such sug gestion as the note was not original ly intended for the press. It is understood that Ambassador Page anticipated such mistaken i'm. pressions by assuring |, British gov ernment informally that the United States is thoroughly in earnest line note was phrased in canLid and frank manner He is understood to have explained, particularly because it was not written with an idea to publication
 As the synopsis of the note leaked out however, the ambassador was instructed to arrange for the publica- tion of the complete text to satisfy the desire for more information in both countries.
 Incidentally the ambassador cabled that the British government had cor rected some English newspaper re- ports which spoke of discourtesy in premature publication.

LONDON. Jan. Destruction ol the British battleship formidable in the English channel today by a mine or submarine, although one of those. events that Englishmen now realize must be expected so long as the Brit. ish navy is compelled to keep to the seas. has caused widespread grief.
 This is due not so much for the ioss Of the ship, which was fifteen years old and cost only about $5,OOO,. O00 as it is for the men. about 600 in number who went down with her So far as is known only forty-one Of the Formidable's crew of 75O were rescued.
 Of the fighting on land there seems Co be little change either from the east or west
 The British admiralty has not giv- en the locality where the disaster oc- cured. and declares it is unable to say whether the ship struck a mine or was torpedoed; but as the British fleet has again been active m s-slline German positions on the Belgian coast and as the German submarines have been more and more using the Zeebrugge as a base the inclination here is to believe a submarine has again been successful in its attacks.
 News from the front is dwartted by this latest loss Co the British navy, although battles of considerable pro- portions are taking place along the two long fronts.
 Fighting in Flanders and northern France has been confined largely to artillery engagements except near Bethune where the Germans claim tbev have taken a British trench. They admit, however, the loss of St George. near the Belgian coast which the official report from Berlin says it was decided not to attempt to re take owing to the high level Of water there.
 In Argonne where the battle has been almost continuous for weeks Y has been the Germans turn to make A little progress. as an offset of which however. the French declare they con tinued their asvance into upper Alasce. On the whole the situation seems to virtually have reached position of stagnatiOn neither very strongly entrenched, it is consdlerec unlikely that either the Germans ol Allies will attempt another genera offensive until the superiority in nun bers attained by endorsements.
 Much the same situation prevails 1T northern Poland where the Germans are reported to have found it impos sible to get across the Bzura anC Rawka rivers and have been virtually unsuccessful in advancing along th' pilica river.

Each turn in the canyon brings new charms, ana
still the decorated walls the rushing river tnat
hurls itself in sinuous curves over the stony pea
until at last pass out OF the canyon directiy
into the delightful resort of Glenwood Springs
The ride to Rife is most refreshing: in place of
the ruggedness of the awesome canyon we have
q broad fertile valley, framed by gently rising,
bright red mountains. Here the Pixies Peak
Ocean to Ocean highway leaves the railroad and
turns north, through a country Of quiet. pleasing
but varied beauty, to Meeker. an inland town in
the broad. fertile valley of White river After
leaving the rich. irrigated land much of the coun-
try is not particularly interesting. and between
Rangely and the Utah line is the only section of
desert 25 miles, traversed by this highway. As
soon as we cross over into Utah we reach
graded road, through fiat tableland skirted with
rolling, rocky hills. Jensen on the Green river
is surrounded by fertile well-cultivated valley.
and 1t Is most refreshing to come into this pros
porous agricultural country which continues as
we go westward through the Uintah basin. To
the weary traveller, Vernal is an oasis in des-
ert; some day railroad will run through this
country, and when 1t does this will be one of the
richest and most desirable sections in the West.
We pass through Fort Duchesne. an abandoned
military fort; then on to Roosevelt and Myton,
both new. modern. progressive towns. All the
way from the Utah line to Duchesne we have
good, travelled roads; here there are two auto
roads to the railroad: one to Cotton 81 miles, and
the other to Heber, so miles. The road to Provo
is through Provo canyon. one of the most beauti.
full scenic canyons in the mountains Provo is
modern city. picturesquely located between the
mountains and Utah lake, and is an attractive
place to visit. A SPLENDID graded road, running
sufficiently high above the great Utah valley to
give a pleasing view of mountain and plain and
fields Of billowing grain. completes the run into
Salt Lake City"
Other things being equal. the transcontinental
tourist will naturally seek the route of greatest
scenic interest
Because 1t does traverse the heart of the
scenic country Of Colorado and Utah, the Pixies
Peak Ocean to Ocean highway. therefore. holds
the key to the transcontnental situation 10
the natural and logical way-and its further de-
velopment is assured by the states, cities coun.
ties and communities through which it passes
Merely drawing line on q map and giving II q

were already in high state Of development before

ist has been travelling the highways and oy-

stream Of travel from east to west and west to
east-attracted by the two California expostions
and by the novelty of transcontinental tour by
motor.
Definite routes have been established, and the
automobile owner now has almost as great
choice of routes as has the traveller by y>train. A
truly remarkable work has been done within the
last few years In developing highways and link
ing them together into interstate and national
roads. They are named and marked. mapped
and pictured until II is the exception for the mo-
torist to find himself on a nameless route.
The latest of the transcontinental highways
Is the Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean highway This
road is being developed by an association re-
sultng from the federation Of several strong
state units.
The Pixies Peak Ocean to Ocean highway has
distinctive organization from Terre Haute. Ind.
to Salt Lake City. Utah. with splendid connections
! at both these termini. At Terre Haute 1t joins
with the National Old Trails road. which carries
1t through Indianapolis. Columbus. Wheeling.
Cumberland to the national capital. Washington.
and thence to New York city. From Springfield.
H. 1t also has a good connection through To-
ledo. Cleveland. Erie. Buffalo. Rochester. Albany
and down the Hudson to New York city
From Terre Haute. it continues westward
through Springfield. ILL.,. crossing the Mississippi
river at Hannibal, Mo-, thence in a direct lire
over the HannibalSt Joseph Cross State high
way through Missouri to st. Joseph. Here 1t
joins the Rock Island highway through northern
Kansas. through Belleville. Norton and Colby. to
connect at the Colorado line with the Pixies Peak
route through Limon to Colorado Springs. Here
1t enters the mountains through Ute pass. and
AFTER crossing the South park. begins the ascent
OF the continental divide which is achieved Just
beyond Leadvile, on a 4 per cent grade over an
improved road. The top Of Tennessee pass 10.400
feet above sea level. Is the highest point on the
road between the two oceans. and 2ow begins
the descent to the Pacific side. The thrilling
ride over Battle mountain is followed by the
peaceful Eagle River valley. which leads into the
