Mexican Knot Will Be Untan-
rled in an Amicable Way"

Omaha, Nov. 1S.-Touching upon the
Mexican situation. Josephus Daniels,
Secretary Of the Navy, who was here to-
day as the guest of honor at luncheon
given by the Omaha Commercial Club.
said:
There will be no war with Mexico
The administration has no fear OF any
such trouble. The knot will be untanSled
in an amicable way, and all the war talk
is jingolsm."
New-York tribune., 1913-11-19
Strategists Puzzled.

At the War Department the strate-
gists are puzzling over the lack Of ac-
tivity by the federal forces in Mexico,
who appear to have offered no substan-
tial resistance to the triumphant south
ward sweep OF the insurgents.
President Wilson and the Cabinet
met to-day and discussed latest phases
of the Mexican situation. Keen inter-
est was shown in the organization Of
the new Mexican Congress Some Off
cials were inclined to believe that body
would heed the warning Of the United
States and take no action on conces-
sions.
The Cabinet meeting was described
by secretaries as a general discussion
OF the entire situation without any con-
crete conclusion being reached.
It was said again at the State De-
partment to-day that no investigation
was being made of the reported exc
Cution OF federal officers in Juarez after
the capture OF the town by the rebels.
Herein lies one OF the mysteries Of the
situation, for ii was most specifically
stated yesterday on the highest author
ity that an investigation would be
made. General Bliss, commanding the
American forces at FL Paso, said in a
telegram 10 the War Department that
the executions had been reported in FL
Paso. but he offered no confirmation,
and. as far as is known in the War De-
partment, he is making no investiga-

From Michoacan come reports of re-
newed rebel activity. towns Of some
size being taken. The city Of Tepic.
capital of the territory of the same
name, is reported surrounded by rebels.
Owing to the menacing Of the town Of
Orizaba by the rebels and the conse-
quent threatening Of communications
between the federal capital and Vera
Cruz, foreigners are hocking 10 the
coast in large numbers, as they see
the possibility OF being bottled up in
Mexico City. Every train to Vera Cruz
is loaded TO its capacity.
Colonel Ramirez, in command OF the
garrison at Orizaba, is fortifying the
strategic points about the city and re-
ports to the government that he will

No Warning Of a Blockade.
Secretary Bryan was asked to-day
about the report from Mexico City that
the German Minister had issued
warning to his nationals, declaring that
a blockade was a thing Of the near fut-
ure. Mr.. Bryan said that he had seen
the report and that all he could say
was that nothing had gone forth from
the State Department to Justify the
warning.
Mr.. Bryan hGs received reports from
special agents in Mexico which speak
in glowing terms Of the progress being
made by the rebel forces, complete vic
tory for whom has been predicted.
The advices indicated that the insur-
rectionary movement was spreading
rapidly not only in the north Of Mex
leo, but to the south and east. This
last development is regarded here as
very important, because the success of
the Constitutionalists in obtaining pos
session Of the rich oil fields in the east
and some deep water port on the Gulf
coast would enormously strengthen
them from a military point Of view, the
former insuring them a full treasury
and the latter an easy means Of sup
plying themselves with munitions OF
war from Europeans in the West In

Oil Fire Starts Rumors.

Two tank cars containing fuel oil
were burned this evening in the yards

The rumor spread through the city that
a large quantity Of rolling stock had
been destroyed, and popular imagina-
tion attributed the fire to rebel agents.
The fire was seemingly accidental.

the two cars and their contents.

Huerta's friends add that the general

GEORGETOWN, Del, Nov. 1.-The
little village of Redden, four miles
north of this town can boast OF hav-
ing a pumpkin on exhibition by R. C.
Hill weighing one hundred and sew
enty-five pounds, and Georgetown has
displayed a pumpkin grown by ]. E.

Anderson, of Fairmount, weighing
eight pounds and nine ounces, but it
remains for William Reed, of Broad

vegetables. He has on exhibition at
this time, in the store of William
Starkey. at Milton, a raddish that
measures nineteen inches in length,
has an average diameter of FIVE and
one-half inches, weighs FIVE and one
half pounds. Il is reddish in color,
and is the largest that has ever been
known TO be grown in Sussex county.
There is also a sweet potato in the
store window of Mr.. Starkey, that
weighs seven pounds and ten ounces,
and it is claimed by Milton residents
that this is the largest one that has
been placed on exhibition this year
as the one which is being shown in
this town by Senator Anderson is not
sweet potato, but yam. Although
down in Sussex the name "sweet" is

WHY NOT FISH AND PoTAToEsf

WHY NOT FISH AND POTATOES?
From the Dover Index.
DR.. Alsburg, chief of the Bureau Of
Chemistry. asks the question, why al
ways beefl' and answers it in the Yam
kee fashion by another question, why

in the last six years the supply OF beef
cattle has fallen from 81 100000 to 30,
100000, and the supply Of sheep from
53,OOO,O00 TO 5l,0O0,OOO, while the popu-
latiOn Of the United States has increas-
ed 100000. To the objection. that
fish is not as nourishing as meat, DR..
Alsburg replies that the food value OF
fish is a. good if not greater than meat.
six pounds of sirloin steak furnish a
pound of protein; so do six pounds OF
Goldfish. Sirloin costs 30 cents per
pound, while Goldfish costs 10 cents. Her
ring and mackeral have as high food
value as pork and are much cheaper"
We people who live along the Delaware
and near the sea can command an abun-
dance of good fish at reasonable prices,
but the average housewife, if not the
men, pines for beefsteak. At RehOboth,
