TRYING TO ARRANGE
 DISPATCH OF COTTON
State Department Endcavoring to Ar range with England for One Round
 Trip of Dncia to Rotterdam.

Washington. Jan. 1.-The state the British government for the i'm mediate dispatch of tho steamship Dacia from Port Arthur, Tex, to Rot tcrdam with q cargo of cotton on the basis of temporary voyage. The question of principle of the right of transfer of belligerent owned ships to American registry will be waived if the Dacia is privileged to make this one voyage free from seizure.
 The arrangement was proposed to Ambassador Spring Rice today by So- licitor Johnson of the state depart ment. who stated that contracts of American cotton growers for delivery of the Dacia's cargo to German firms at Bremen within limited time would be lost unless the ship were al- lowed to proceed at once.
 As the British government had ob- jected to the transfer of the Dacia's registry and to her sailing between Texas ports and Bremen, the state de- partment sought to meet the difficult ty and leave for future adjustment the larger question of the legality of the transfer, by changing the destination of the ship from Bremen to Rotter- dam, in neutral country, whence the cotton may be transferred by rail or lighters to Bremen.
 It Is understood the arrangements is to apply only to one round trip of the Dacia and that neither side to the negotiations thereby sacrifices any question of principle.

ALLIES SHOULD STOP
 SAILING OF DACIA
Morning Post of London Says Ger many Is Contriving to Embroil
 Great Britain With United States.

London, Jan. IA, Ill D. m.--The Morning Post. in an editorial article today, follows the line of argument set forth in the London Times yester- day to emphasize the seriousness of the issues involved in the transfer of the Hamburg American Line steamer Dacia to the American flag and the use of this steamer to carry cotton to Germany.
 "It is of importance to the allies,' the Post says, that the Dacia should be stopped; but here we enter upon a question of law complicated by the Declaration of London"
 Continuing. the Post says that this whole question is "thorny and diffi- cult, the more as it has certainly been contrived by Germany to em- broil Great Britain with the United States
 Referring to the delicate aspects of this question. the Post concludes it's comment with the following express sion:
 "A simple way out of the whole difficulty is to denounce the Declara- . ton and declare all the enemy's goods liable to capture. As the Declaration has been repeatedly violated by Ger many in the present war, notably in the case of the ships sunk by the German cruiser Emden. there could be no grievance to neutral nations in such a course.'
