London, Jan. Sin the east the
Germans have captured the import

elsewhere they have been unable 70
make Roadway against the Russians,
who, as defenders of well fortified po.
sitions, are aided by the wet wealth

German movements.
The Austrians claim to have check
ed the Russian advance near Gorlice
on the Southern Galician railway,
west of Jaslo, but apparently the
battle here has not yet been con-
cluded.
The Russians, on the other hand,
have taken the Austrian positions
near Uzsok pass. which should open
another entrance for them through
the Carpathians into Hungary while
the Austrian retreat in Bukowina Is
described by the Russians as a rout.

BRITAIN s
ATTITUDE
FRIENDLY

Washington, Jan. Ambassador
Walter Hines Page, in long re-
port from London received today, fol
lowing his conferences with high Of
flcials there, described the general
attitude of the British government
and the people toward the American
note of protest concerning shipping
as entirely friendly. He said q re-
ply had been promised within very
few days.
The ambassador detailed the British
press criticism whose tone he regard
ed on the whole as reasonable and
amicable. In some quarters not
among officials, he found disposition
to search for motive behind the
American note, some Englishmen
suggesting that the Washington ad-
ministration had been compelled to
yield to pressure from members of
Congress representing constituencies
vitality affected by the interruptions
in trade. This portion of English
public opinion seemed to think the
American note was intended to some
extent for home consumption.
Disclosed Through Leak
High officials OF the Washington
government pointed out tonight that
there was not the slightest founda-
ton for such a suggestion as the note
was not originally intended for the
press. 1t is understood that Ambas-
sador Page had anticipated such mis-
taken impressions by assuring the
British government informally that
the United States was thoroughly in
earnest. The note was phrased In
candid and frank manner, he Is un
derstood to have explained, particu
larly because it was not written with
the idea of publication. The synop
sis having leaked out, however the
Ambassador had been instructed tc
arrange for the official publication Of
the complete document to supply the
desire for more information In boil
countries.

No Friction Feared in France

Paris, Jan. Extensive com

no danger exists of rupture of the

Russia.

munication before even the hrst In
timation Of the contents OF the note
was published.
Delays Held Unreasonable
The views in the British press
were read with much interest by Of
ficials. The argument that England
Is fighting what she believes to be
life and death struggle, 1t was
pointed out. was fully recognized In
the American note, but 1t was con-
tended that some of the delays ana
detentions OF cargoes exceeded the
manifest necessity of a belligerent.
The United States government, it Is
explained by officials generally, Is
disposed to take into account the gen.
eral difficulties occasioned by the war
but desires that some steps be taken
to prevent impairment of trade that
is actually legitimate in every re.
spect. The general belief in Wash
ington is that common ground VIII
be reached in future diplomatic cor
respondence, whereby definite ar
rangements will be put into effect to
relieve American exporters of uncer-
tainty.
Reports that another note is in pre-
paration concerning the listing of alb
solute and conditional contraband
were said by officials to have grown
out Of the suggestion in the Ameri
can note that while these articles
f, were open to objection they would be
further discussed at another time. Nc
note has as yet been drafted on the
subject it was said.
