TAGUE WANTS
FOOD PROBED
Submits Resolution Providing
for Inspection of National
Guard Supplies.

Representative Tague, Of Massachu-
setts. yesterday brought the attention Of
Congress to the criticism Of the food
served National Guardsmen. when he in
troduced a resolution directing the Sec
retary OF War To have the food supplies
subjected to rigid inspection.
The resolution Of the Massachusetts
member followed the information that
forty men OF the Fighting Nine" Regi-
ment now on duty at El Paso were in
the camp hospital suffering from the ef-
fects Of eating canned salmon. Singu-
Iarly enough. the canned salmon was not
on the regular bill OF fare, but was
served to the men as a Sunday dinner
treat"
The scope of the resolution is broad
enough to cover the inspection Of the
food served to the Guardsmen at Camp
Ordway This commisary has been
severely criticised by Alfred W. McCann,
New York pure food expert, although
the men who eat it claim that the
charges are not substantiated.
Il realize that the food now being
served TO the militia is passed upon by
government inspectors" said Represent
ative Tague, but the purpose Of my
resolution is to have some disinterested
experts inspect and determine whether
the provender served the men is Of q
health h-giving quality and not such as tc
Imrair rather than conserve their
health"

AROUSE ADMINISTRATION
Fear Germany May Sink Steamer in
Sight of American
Shores.

Though officials here share the general
admiration for Germanys latest subma-
rine exploit. there is a note Of keen re-
sentiment at the State Department over
Germany's threat to resume submarine
warfare which comes simultaneously with
the arrival OF the Deuts chIand here.
Coupled with the news from Berlin the
undersea boats transatlantic voyage as
sumes the guise Of distinct threat II
implies. according to officials. that Ger
man C-boats can escape the Gordon Of
the British blockade and operate Unhin-
dered in the steamer routes OF the At
Iantic. Some officials even regard II as
a threat on the part Of Germany TO siuk
steamers. II the submarine warfare is re-
sumed. within sight Of American shores.
The threat to resume submarine war
fare is based on the apparent inactivity
Of the United States government in deal
ing with the British blockade.
No Official notice is being taken Of the
threats. In fact It ha been publicly
stated by Secretary Lansing that Ger
man threats to hurry United States ne
gotiations with Great Britain over the
blockade would only act as a hlndrance to
these negotiations.
The probable immediate result Of Ber-
Inns efforts TO hurry American negota-
ions with Great Britain will be the re-
sumption of the American demand TO
