COTTON SHIP HELD BY
BRITISH In SCOTLAND
Though Bound for Bremen, Germany,
with Certificates of Clearance, NAL
lory Steamer Denver Is Detained.

Complaint was made to the State De-
partment yesterday against the deten-
ton by British authorities, at KirkwaII,
Scotland, of the Mallory Line steamer
Denver, loaded with a cargo of cotton
consigned to Bremen. Germany.
The interesting feature of this case is
the fact that it is the first instance of
the British refusing to accept as salts
factory evidence of the nature Of a car
go a certificate granted by a British
consul When the Denver left Norfolk
on December 3, her master carried with
him this certificate and statement from
the United States customs authorities at
Norfolk as to what was loaded in the
vessel.
Those interested in the case now argue
that it appears that the British intend
not only to disregard American certifi-
Gates of cargoes. but even those of their
own representatives.
1t is understood that the State De-
partment will make representations to
the British government, pointing out that
the information in the possession of
American authorities furnishes every
reason for letting the ship proceed. The
opinion is expressed in quarters familiar
with British policy that the United States
government would find the British gov
ernment disposed to be reasonable with
regard to the shipping questions, and
that the efforts of the United States to
alleviate the situation would be met in
an appreciative spirit.

TYPHOID IS raging IN
RANKS OF GERMANS
Doctors and Nurses Unable to Care
for Sick and Many Die
Daily.
By BERNARD BELANCoURT.

Rotterdam, Jan. 6.-Typhoid fever Is
raging among the German troops facing
the User in West Flanders. Informa-
tion received here privately today from
Ltege says that many German soldiers
have arrived there from the front suf-
fering from fever. They are conveyed
through the streets at night Every
military hospital in Belgium and many
of those in northwestern Germany con-
tain their quota of sick soldiers. Many
deaths are occurring daily from typhoid
because the overwOrked surgeons and
nurses cannot give the sick soldiers
proper care and nourishment
The Germans are reported to have re-
constructed the French forts around
Maubeuge, so far as they have been able
to do so, and have strengthened them
with earthworks on the western side of
the city and wire entanglements.
A number of French and British pris-
oners have just been taken through
Liege from the district around Rheims
where they were captured. This indi-
Gates that British troops have been sent
to strengthen the French along the Aisne
and to take the place of French soldiers
withdrawn from the upper AlsaCe cam
paign.
The Germans are requisitioning all the
motorCars in Belgium. They are making
a fine tooth search of the devastated
kingdom for copper, a metal which they
need badly for war purposes. The ruins
of deserted villages are being raked over
and copper is being taken from doors
and pumps. The metal is being sent into
Germany as fast as it is found
Four big guns, taken from the French
near Rheims, have been taken to Liege
en- route to Germany. They were dis
played there for the benefit and effect
upon the Belgian population.

The taking of Puebla demonstrated a

BALTIMORE ASKS

Federal Board Hears Argu-
ments for Shifting Branch

DISPUTE OVER VOTING
Monumental City Lawyers Hold Me
Adoo and Williams Should Not
Help Decide Issue.

The Federal Reserve Board gave over
its meeting yesterday to hearing the pro-
test of the Baltimore bankers against
serve bank in Richmond instead of Bal
timore. A brief making answer to the
BaItimoreans argument was filed by
EppR Hunton, of Richmond. at the same
meeting. The Baltimore bankers were
represented by Charles Markell and Yer
non Cooke.
The board took no action on the con-
tention of Baltimore counsel that Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo and Comp
troller of the Currency Williams, who
had served as members of the Organiza-
ton committee. which fixed the present
reserve districts, should be excluded from
a vote on the Baltimore protest
It was learned authoritativcly that the
board will take no action in this matter
holding that the issue is one of prOprieties
and not Of law, and will leave the two
officials to decide for themselves as to
whether or not they will vote to indOrse
their own decisions.
Secretary McAdOO Absent.
Secretary McAdoo is absent from
Washington, and therefore did not attend
the hearing Comptroller Williams was
present, however and sat through the
hearing, although the protest against his
participation in the review Of his own
work was made at the outset of the Balti-
moTeans' argument. Mr.. Williams did not
inform his colleagues on the board OF an
intention to withhold an expression of
his opinion on the Baltimore protest.
The organization committee ceased to
exist when the Federal Reserve Board
took its oath of Office. 1t was a body

of the formation of the new currency
system which had to be taken before
the Federal Reserve Board could be or
ganized. II consisted, besides Secretary
McAdoo and Comptroller Williams, OF Sec
retsry of Agriculture Houston. Members
OF the board regard the contention of
the Baltimore bankers as raising a very
interesting question. Members, in dis
cussing the issue, pointed out that the
practice of Supreme Court justices in re-
fusing TO join in decisions upon cases
in which they had passed as judges of
the trial thereof, was based upon estab-
prieties rather than any legal inhibition.
The Baltimore representatives urged
the fitness OF that city for the location
OF the reserve bank on the ground that
It is the natural reservoir for South
