'GREAI BRITAIN
 WILL HEAR FROM
 UNCLE SAM NOW Believing Issues with Teu- tons Adjusted, Washing ton Turns to England. EXTENSION OF THE CONTRABAMD LIST Protest Against Unwarranted Action Expected to Be First Step in General Attack by United States on the British Blockade.

Washington, Jan. S.-Believing that the submarine controversy with the central powers is nearing an end, the Washington government is preparing to turn it's attention to Great Britain.
 First evidence of this was seen to- day when it was announced that the ULited States has sent a note to Great Britain, vigorously protesting against interference with and cen soring of mails between the United States and European countries.
 The next step, it was stated au- thoritativaly, will be the dispatch of a note directed to all Of the belliger- .entsi but more particularly to Great Britain, protesting against what the United States regards as the illegal band lists!
 A general attack on the British sblockade is expected to follow. Sec retary Lansing has the contraband note before him for completion.
 State department officials were .un fable to, announce today what the next step in the submarine contro- vGrsy will be. The Persia case, must sbe cleared first. Inability of Amer iean consular officers, in taking affi- davits of. Persia survivors, to obtain legal facts, fixing responsibility for the vessels, loss, has placed the United states in a position where it must rely on, Germany and Austria for this information. In its cofntmnni- cation to the United States today. the German government promised to in vestigate the Persia sinking.

 Attempt to Break Thru French.

London, Jan. 8.-The great battle, or series of battles. on the Russian front, is being fought with a despera- tion and recklessness that must soon result in decision or cease from ex- haustion and losses.

 Neither side claims victory, but both the Russian and Austria nreports re- peat the dismal phrase, enormous losses"
