HALIFAX, N. s.. Dec. 13.-John
Johansen, helmsman on the Nor

relief ship whose collision with
the ammunition steamer Mont

Thursday, was detained as a Ger

After that incident a military
guard was placed on duty by his
bed. The provost guard was sent
for today and Johansen was lock-
ed up.
In connection with the arrest,
the widest spy rumors heard here
since the war began were spread
broadcast. These eliminated in a
report that eight Fermans had
been shot at sunrise. Military
and naval authorities, while ac-
knowledging that the Johansen
case was being thoroughly investi-
gated, declared the shooting story
was absurd.
Another persistent story was
that a secret code in German had
been found on Johansen and that
a wireless station had been un-
earthed in the district, destroyed
by fire after the explosion.
Another Story.
]. c. Burchall, counsel for the
limo in the admiralty hearing on
the collision of the two vessels,
said tonight that the secret code
story as far as il concerned Johan-
sen was absolutely without
foundation. Johanse, Mr.. Burch-

United States 10 years and as he
was anxious to return to his old
home in Norway, he shipped on

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Health and
market officials OF New York city took
steps today to relieve the sick and the
poor from the serious effects of the
coal shortage. In letter to Dr. H A.

DR.. Haven Emerson, head of the de-

to heat the homes of the sick, who, he
said, were dying in increasing num-
bers as a result Of the inadequate
supply Of heat.
An appeal for the poor was made by
DR.. Henry Moskowitz, commissioner of
public markets who said in a letter
to Acting Mayor Frank L. Bowling
that small dealers were taking advan-
tage of the shortage to sell coal by in
definite measures and weights at
prices which would amount to more
than $50 a ton. DR.. Moskowitz urged
that the board pass a pending ordi-
nance providing for the sale of coal

The German submarine menace is

number of enemy submarines that are

Another high naval authority says the
Germans have been attempting sub
marine offensive of the greatest pos
sible magnitude. but that they have
signally failed and have had to pay
heavy price in vessels lost at the
hands of the American and entente
naval forces.
