SUNK IN SUBMARINE

London, Jan. z (7:30 y. m.) The
Marquis Of Crewe announced In the
house OF lords today that lt was the
definite opinion of the British admir-
atty that the battleship Formidable
had been sunk by two torpedoes dis
charged by a submarine.
The Earl OF Selbourne. former first
lord Of the admiralty. In an address in
the house Of lords, had described the
dispatch Of Sir christopher Cradock's
squadron 10 the Pacific as d blunder,
as the squadron he sud, WAS wholly
Inadequate for the task assigned to II
Ito destroy the German warships
there. He then asked for more in-
formation concerning the less of the
hattleships Formidable and Bulwark
and data about other naval operations.
The Marquis Of Crewe said he could
not add anything TO what Winston
Spencer Churchill, first lord of the
admiralty had said in the house of
commons. Before adjournment how
ever the marquis said that In the
opinion Of the admiralty the formld-
able had been struck by two torpe-
does fired by a submarine. He added
that the captain OF the Formidable
had sent signois 20 the other ships not
to stand by which was taken 20 meau
submarines were IN the vicinity aud
that they might suffer the same fate
As his shin.

Summary of Var
NelDs of Yesterday

Although severe fighting has been
going on in France during the past
dav or two, IL has been rather dis
counted by The Russian successes
against the Turks in the Caucasus and
against the Austrians in the Carpa-
thians In both eastern and western
theaters the Germans have been ex-
ceedingly active. Steady progress Is
noted In their official statements re-
garding the operations in Poland and
the French official bulletin reports
German attacks in the Argonne, in
the region III Verdun and around
Steinbaeh in Alsace.
Details of the lighting. as usual,
are lacking as the long drawn-out
battles are referred TO briefly, SEEM
ingly as a matter of routine unless
something OF an extraordinary nature
occurs.
Regardlng the operations in ths
west, as a whole. a British eyewitness
who has been the regular chronicler
Of events, says that really marked
progress has been achieved BY the al
lies" He adds, however, That the
German defensive is an active one,
and that il might not be inferred that
the progress made has been other
than very slow and laboriops or that
the final result is within Immediate
reach.
Berlin reports that a Turkish bull
letin announces the occupation by the
Ottoman troops of urnniiah, an Inn
portant town of Persian Armenia.
Petrograd is celebrating Christmas,
the Russian observance falling thir-
teen days later than that OF other
countries and the people Of the Rus
sian capital seem to be In no wise
depressed by the war which has call
ed so many millions Of men to arms
Activity by Austrian submarines,
according to Berlin, apparently has
compelled the French admiral to
Withdraw his ships from the strait
of Otranto at the entrance to the Ad-
riatio sea.
The German military governor in
Belgium gives denial to the report
that Cardinal Mercier. primate of Bel
GUM, has been arrested or detained
by the German authorities, Neither
have any priests been arrested. 1t IS
asserted.
The British admiralty is of the
opinion that the sinking of the bat
itleship Formidable in the English
channel was due to the tive torpedoes
fired by German submarine. The
Marquis of Crewe has so announced
TO the British house of lords.
Great Britnin's preliminary reply
to the United states governments pro-
tests against delays to American
commerce, is to he forwarded short
! ly. A further reply will come forward
later. The preliminary note will be
in the nature of an acknowledgment
of the American note and a general
statement Of the unusual conditions
facing the allies and the many new
problems thrust upon England
Germany has ordered that there be
no more fraternizing between the
Germans and theip opponents in the
field.

CHRISTMAS DAY
IS CELEBRATED
IN ALL RUSSIA
Observance of Belated HOIi-
day Is Now in Full Blast,
Hampered Only by Lack of
Vodka and LuxurieS.


Petrograd. Jan. (via London,
1855 p. M )--Hussla today is cele-
brating Christmas. Wars shadow has
failed to darken the customary Christ
mas spirit, which is more variously
and intensely manifested in the Rus
sian capital than elsewhere in the
world
Christmas celebration is anything
but Il brief ceremony Officially last
ing three days. it Is often prolonged
by festivities well beyond new year,
during which time business is sus-
pended and the stores are closed,
while the country is given up to one
festive season which breaks the long
period of winter.
AS in other places in Europe, the
war has nterfered to some extent
with the Christmas customs in Rus
sia, such as feasting and drinking,
which suffer from the rigid enforce
ment of the prohibition laws and the
difficulty in importing fruits and
Christmas daintles Oranges and ap-
pies were selling on the Russian
Christmas eve at 25 cents each.
But If some homes are empty OF
the material accessories to the
Christmas tide. the spiritual and re-
ligious side of the Christmas life has
been given an unusual impulse by
the Russian military successes in the
Caucasus and the higher community
Of interests Of a nation at war.
on the streets the holiday season
manifested itself in the sharp wind
which sent the mercury four below
zero; the children gathered around
blazing street fires, singing Christmas
carols. and the bustllng pafcel-lader
crowds, exchanging greetings.
All day the streets We're lined Win
people on the way to the principal
oathedrals for observapce Of the re-
liglons rites one traditional feature
