GERMAN DELAY INCREASES
 ANGER ARGENTINA

y Associated Press.
 BUENOS AIRES, Sept. 20.--The indifference of Germany to the de- mand of the Argentine Foreign Office for an explanation of the telegram incident is further exasperating the government and people of Argentine In a statement today, Under Secre- tary Iiguar declared that the Argen- tine government will insist on Ger many and Sweden making an eX- planation and apology for the acts of their representatives,, although the latter will probably not be held o1ic .. ially responsible. The property and lives of German residents are being guarded against the increasing an"cr of the populace.

SILVER WAVE BUT
 SLIGHTLY DAMAGED

Reports to the local radio from the Noorvik station of the Bureau of Ed ucation today say that the Silver Wave is but slightly damaged and is expected to go on her way within q short time.
 The report further states that every one aboard the schooner IS safe. According to the Noorvik statement. the Silver Wave was stuck on the mud flats at Kotzebue while on the way into that port during the big storm last week. The vessel was badly bounced and jolted in the surf but finally managed to get loose from the sand and made KOtZebue port. The schooner was leaking from the battering she received but was apparently undamag ged otherwise. The report says the Wave is now on , the beach at Kotzebue receiving re- pairs and is expected to proceed on the interrupted journey soon.

CONFEREES AGREE
 ON CREDIT BILL
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-After what is said to have been a period of rather stormy debate, the senate and house conferees have announced an agreement on the terms of the credit bill submitted by the treasury department.
 As the measure stands, it authori- zes the issue of eleven billion five hundred and thirty eight million dol lars worth of new bonds and treasury certificates to meet the war require ments of the nation and to recall a large amount of nontaxable outstand- ing bonds.
 The seven billion dollar deficiency appropriation bill is again before the house for passage. The senate is also considering the measure and its final passage is expected today.
 The measure known as the alien stacker bill which has already passed the senate is expected to follow the deficiency bill in the house.
