of more than $4,000 votes in his con-

FROZEN FISH TO BE WAR DIET
Hoover Urges Increased Catch il
Southern Waters This Winter.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Herbert c.
Hoover, the Food Administrator now
proposes to popularize frozen fish as
an article of diet in American house
holds. The purpose is to conserve the
meat supply. Wholesale fish distrib-
utors from all over the United States
met with the Food Administrator yes
terday to decide how the campaign
in behalf Of frozen fish might best be
conducted.
One of the problems is the small
catch of this season due to the requi-
sitioning Of small ships for war pur-
poses. the enlistment of captains and
fishermen in the army and naval re-
serve and the CONSUMPTION of many
others. A speeding up of production
in the South was advocated. This
will be accomplished by the sending
down of boats from the New York
and Gloucester districts this winter.

WASHINTON NOT SURPRISED

Washington, Sept. 25.-Besides
further consolidating the Americas in
the war for democracy, the addition
of Argentina to Germany's list of
enemies would mean the partial re-
lieving of the United States and Bra
lillian fleet in the patrol of the south
Atlantic, even if there should not be
more spectacular cooperation by
sending an army to France.
The action of the Senate and
Chamber Of Deputies in voting for a
rupture of relations with Germany
created little surprise among officials
of the State Department, and it is be-
Iieved here that the break will be
followed by war. The discovery to-
day that the strikes and riots III
Buenos Ayres were instigated and
supported by German agents only
makes the situation worse.

them in the conference should be
unanimous. In the face of every
| protest and charge Of wilful indul-
gence in the policy of delay he is

The action of Mr. Kitchin has the
conference in an almost uninterrupt-
