AMERICAN STEAMER DETAINED
 AT ORKNEY ISLANDS
Owners Have Asked State Department
 to Make Representations.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The American steamer Denver. bound for Bremen, Germany, with only cotton from Nor folk December 23, has been detained at KirkWan, Orkney Islands, north of Scotland. The owners have asked the state deparEnent to make representa- tions.
 The Denver was reported to have been loaded under the inspection not only of United States customs officials, but also of the British consular off, cers at Norfolk. She had aboard about 1000 bales of cotton.
 Arrangements are now under way which, it is believed. may facilitate shipments. The British embassy and the state department have had the proposition laid before them by ship pers. It would provide that vessels have their matches sealed before they leave American ports. American GUS toms officials and British consuls could see that the seal was properly affixed after the loading had been inspected
 The City Of Macon, with $500 bales of cotton, recently left New York for Bremen and had sealed matches un- der that plan. The City of Memphis. now loading at 3, gulf port for Lon- don and the City of Savannah. for Rotterdam, both with cotton only, will sail with hatches sealed Under that plan it is believed British authorities will allow such vessels to pass.

For achievements the Russians still hold the center of the stage ln the great war drama that is being enacted in Europe and on the territory that forms the natural boundary between Europe and Asia-the Caucasus
 In the latter region the Muscoyites are following up and pressing hard the f1eeting Turks near Sari hamysh ana Ardahan, while far away to the north- west in Bukowina, the Austrian crown land a'butting Rumaniag and still lar ther on, near the East Prussian iron tier fresh successes are chronicled Tor them by Petrograd.
 In Bukowina four additional towns are reported to have been taken from the, Austrians, two of them-Gura HnrnOra and Eoukscher-being the best and most direct route to Transyl- vania; while in Poland, just off the East PruSsian frontier, and near the village of Mlawa, the village of Roz- rowa is said to have been taken at the point of the bayonet.
 Elsewhere in the war zone the fight ing consists mainly of artillery duels, with here and there an infantry attack. In none of these fights has anything approaching a decisive victory been secured by either side.
 The Turkish cruiser Goeben. former ly of the German navy, has been bad " damaged by striking Russian mines near the Bosphorus. according to Co., pen11agen advices, while from Constan- tinople it Is announced that two Turk isil cruisers emerged from an engage Enent with r Russian warShips in the Black sea without damage. The bitter suffering which follows in the wake of war has been demonstrated by the finding of 10,o00 French peasants in the valley of the Mouse absolutely without food. The American commission for relief fin Belgium is now caring for these famine stricken people. but re- ports that many deaths from starva- ton have already occurred.

STUBBORN FIGHTING BETWEEN
 FRENCH AND GERMANS
For 4he Roads to Cernay and MueI-
 hausen in U~ner Alsace.

London, Jan. 6. 10.40 D. m.-Apart from the Russian victory over the Turks in Trans -Caucasia, which is de- scrtbed in a despatch to the Russian embassy from Petrograde as "com- plete," interest in the warfare now lies chiefly in the stubborn fight which the for the roads to Cernay and Nuelhau- sen in upper Alsace.
 The battle in that region, which has been raging for a. week, is described in Q Berlin despatch as the most violent of tho war. The Germans regained one of the trenches which they had lost, out on the whole the French re- ports indicate that the Frenchmen maintain their advantage for every bit of which they had to fight, in many cases with the bsyonet.
 Along the rest Of the western front th5 tide of battle continues to ebb and flow. On either side of Rheims and particularly to the east of that harass- ed city, the French, according to re- ports, daily Tusn their lines a few wards forward. while in the Argonne, where more hard fighting is going on, first the Germans and the French report the capture of the others entrenchments.
 Another region where the French seemingly keep nfbbling away at the German lines in in the Woevre, where the gains reported by them last night and again today must, when consoli- dated, have gone Q long way toward rendering the Germans long occupa- ton of St. MIhiel the much less com <ortabfe.

SWEDISH LEGATION STATEMENT
 CONCERNING COPPER IMPORTS
Large increase from U. s. Because None is OhtainabIe from Germany.

London, Jan. 6. S.29 D. m.-The Swedish legation today issued a state ment concerning copper imports to Sweden which purports to show an in crease Of 2,179, ,374 sldIograms (4,794, ,623 poUinds) over 1918. It points out, how ever, that of this increase S54,3S4 kilo- gTame (1.S79,534 pounds) were import ed since the war started. This was entirely due to growing domestic con- sumption, to which the identification of the state railways and the needs of the army largely contributed
 The statement says the much talked of increase in importations of copper from the United States can be attrib- uted to the fact that no copper is now obtainarble from Germany, from which country considerable quantities were imported before the war. With the export of copper from Great Britain virtually prohibited. only the United States is left to supply Sweden with the metal.
 The statement also says that in re- cent years Sweden's importation of copper has been steadily increasing at the rate of about 20 per cent. yearly.

BATTLESHIP DELAWARE FIRES
 SALUTE TO VERA CRUZ
Was Deferred Pending Instructions
 from Washington.

Vera Cruz. Jan. 6-The American battleship Delaware, which relieved the battleship Rhode Island when that vessel sailed with Rear Admiral Wal ter Mclean for NeW Orleans, did not deliver the customary salute to the port until today. It was explained that the firing of salutes was suspended until instructions were received from Washington that they should be given, on account of the friendly feeling of the American administration for the Mexf- can people.
 \ naval regulation prohibits the fir ing of salutes to ports whose govern mentS have not been recognized. Since the overthrow of President Madero, however, all ships visiting Mexican ports have given salutes except dur ing the occupation Of Vera Cruz. and this is the first instance of a delay.
