London, Dec. 3O.-The American
note protesting against the British
treatment of American commerce and
insisting upon an early improvement,
came as a complete surprise to the
British public, as there had been viz
tuaIly no intimation that any friction
had arisen between the two govern
mentS.
The placards posted by the evening
papers were given over exclusively to
the American note and the papers
gave it the largest headlines they have
given any news in the last month.
Consequently the British people re-
gard this as one of the most important
occurrences Of the whole war. Moth
ing Of its kind since President CIeve-
lands Venezuelan message has pro
duced such a sensation.

Recent Fighting on Western
Line Confined Largely
to Artillery Duel.
SINK ANOTHER BRITISH SHIP
Battieship Formidable TorPedoed BY
German Submarine in the English
ChanneI-NearIy Entire Crew
of roo Men Were Lost.
--latest Dispatches

Londen, Jan. 2-The fighting in
Flanders and northern France has
been confined largely to artillery en-
gagements, except near Bethune,
where the Germans claim they have
taken a British trench. They admit,
however, the loss of st. Georges near
the Belgian coast, which the official
report from Berlin says it was decid-
ed not to attempt to retake, owing
the high level of the water there.
In the Argonne region, where the
battle has been almost continuous for
weeks past, it has been the Germans
turn to make little progress, as an
Offset to which, however, the French
declare they have continued their ad-
vance in Upper Alsace.
On the whole, the situation seems
virtually to have reached a position
of checkmate. Neither side has been
able to make any great impression on
his antagonists line,- and as both are
very strongly entrenched it is consid-
cred unlikely that either the Germans
or Allies will attempt another general
offensive until superiority in numbers
is attained by reinfOrcements.
Another Vessel Sunk.
The Daily Chronicle states that sur
vivors of the battleship Formidable
report that the vessel was tOrpedoed

says the captain of the trawler Prov
roeorod couonfu c11TviU-
ors who had escaped from the battle
ship in a cutter, states that other fish
ing boats were close at hand. The
captain expresses the belief that other
survivors have been rescued and taken
to Dartmouth He saw no other boats
belonging to the Formidable, however.
The Chronicles Chatham correspon-
dent says that the Formidable left
that port on Thursday morning.
Russians Invade Hungary.
A telegram received from Budapest

pose. All moneys held should be COL

Trade Board May Fail,
Is White House Fear

Fear was expressed in Administra-
tion circles today that owing to the
delay Of the President in sending to
the Senate the nominations for the
new Federal interstate trade commits
sion. the nominations might not be
confirmed before the adjournment Of
the present session. The attention Of
White House officials was called to-
day to the fact that the session In now
half over. with the Senate still filibus-
tering against the ship purchase bill
Should an extra session be required
to put through the ship bill and the
nominations to the trade commission,
there Is strong prospect that the
President might abandon his contem.
plated trip to the Canal Zone in con-
nection with the formal opening Of
the canal.
1t is stated that the President IL
still uncertain about several OF the
names he has under consideration for
the trade board.
