 CHAMP CLARK Speaker of House of Repre- sentaties Heard in Mont gOmery-Says War Up

Montgomery November 9.--(Speeial) Champ Clark speaker of tho national House of Representatives, was the guest of Montgomery for few hours today. having come here to address the local Federation of Womens clubs on tho sub ject. United States of America in ths Twentieth Century" which he delivered before a large audience at the Sidney Lanier High school tonight.
 Montgomery was the first stop made by Mir. Clark on his present lecture tour. which will carry him up until December 1. He left here immediately after his address tonight for Missouri, in which state he will deliver several addresses
 While in Montgomery. MT Clark spoke freely to newspaper men. He attached little significance to the results of last Tuesdays election.
 'There was no significance to the eiec- iointed the country. It gave our business interests such jolt that the people were not thinking abont m election at all. Any way it had gone would huve been nos surprise to me. II certainly did not fnoaA a republican victory, but do not thipk it indicates a democratic victory in 1916.

New York. November s-(Special.)-Sec- ond only to the importance of the cleo lions of Tuesday and. of course. the daily progress of the European war is the de. cision, tentatively, at least, reached be- tween the representatives of the British treasury and the federal reserve board ne Washington that the stock exchanges oi London and of New York are to re- main closed for an indefinite period.
 This informal understanding, which was thought likely to become formal in the course of few days, probably identifies the close Of Sir George Paish's confer ences in the United States, for it will mako possible his speedy return to Lon- don. The magnitude and difficulty re- nected by the subjects which have been under discussion since mid-October have overshadowed one feature which is with out precedent and is sure to become his tcric.

WOULD HAVE BETTER FOR FISH
By J. A. JOULLIAN Secretary of the Alabama Oyster Commission

Mobile. November 9.-(Special) ) There has been a very perceptible in crease in the demand for nearly all classes of food products in this coun- try within the last two decades. Prices on certain kind of foods have. advanced to a point which has deprived salried men of them.
 Fish Is one quality of food that pro- vides a most excellent change. It's con- sumption has been steadily increasing and with 1t there has been an apparent steady decline in it's production. The chief reason for this is the lack of pro- lection. Fish are public property and as such cannot be protected without laws which will prevent abuse.
 Those who would despoil are pre- vented from using dynamite and re- sorting to such other destructive methods in catching fish, yet 1t is re- ported that 15.000 pounds of roe mullet, which is fish in the period of spawning and reproduction, were offered for sale in Mobile recently. Now this means the reflection of these treaties. British diplo- macy through special representatives has often been in consultation with our state department. the meeting having been fla cilitated by the ambassador--or formerly the minister-from Great Britain to the United States.
 But the visit of Sir George Paish and his associates, while it reflected the au- thority of the British treasury and, there fore, of tho British government, never theless entailed no diplomacy, no relations or consultation with our state depart nent. While any agreement perfected, In part by the conferences of the British tI easury's representative at Washington necessarily involved the approval of the British government, on the other hand the agreement does not involve the ap- Iroval of our own government except in so far as the federal reserve board at Washington approves 1t. It does not en- tail any treaties or any diplomacy of the kind which the federal Senate has au thority to consider in executive session and to approve or reject.
 The moral influence and to some extent the authority of the federal reserve board at Washington are of importance because of the influence of this board with the national banks. Yet. Sir George Paish could nave peTIected an agreement to which the board was not a party, for it would have included only bankers, finan- ciers and the chief leaders in interna- tional trade A transaction of this kind is without any precedent certainly in our own history and probably not in the his- tory of the commercial nations.
 What the Agreement Is
 The tentative agreement informally an- nounced on the afternoon of the day after the national election will, when 1t be-

destruction of something like zoo. 900 or soo,o0o pounds Of fish; because were the eggs permitted to mature they would have provided that much addf- tional fish. It is a known fact and one which practical fishermen declare true. that this class of fish which has grown in popularity, with the advance in price of meat. is fast disappearing from the gulf waters, and that un- less some protective Legislation is thrown around them, extermination is sure to follow
 The mullet offers a particularly fine substitute for mackerel, when salted, and is commercial product which is fast growing in favor.
 The custom of taking mulIet during the reproductive season Is an old one, and while the fishermen themselves declare 1t destructive one, still they have persisted in following 1t regard less of the plain fact that 1t is re- sponsible for a growing shortage of this fish. The attention of conserva- tionists Is imperatively demanded if this valuable food product must be con served
