Washington, Feb. "a. - An answer
that will make severance Of diplomat

expected at any time.
Indications were that the cabinet

Congress with request for author

and definite information about Amer

No Hope for Favorable Reply.

favorable reply to the memorandum

that they discussed the arming of

Representative Beunet of New York
made speech in the house, advocat-

Allies and place ourselves under no

she will sink our vessels on sight in

Two Species of Sardines.

Louis Fage has made a study Of
the growth of the sardine or pilchard
(Clupea pilchardus), using the method
now so much employed, Of reading
the age from the scales and otoliths.
AS in other cases, the concentric
striated zones seen on a scale are in
terrupted by several clear nonstriated
zones, the latter indicating periods of
rest-"winter rings" AS Hort has
said: "The growth Of the scales is so
closely bound up with that Of the indi-
vidual that it Is possible by simple
measurements Of the zones of growth
on the scale to retrace with real pre-
cision the history of the growth Of
the fish," The results of his measure
ments lead Fage to conclude that
there are two distinct, biological
races'-the Mediterranean and the
oceanic sardine. The former grows
more slowly, and lags more and more
behind as it grows older.
