She said he winked at her at

favorable reception accorded by thu
foreign delegates. to his hope that
an association OF nations for con

HARDING 'WARNED"
BY SENATOR B0RAH

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The con-
tinuing Association of nations, u
which, according to reports, Presi-
dent Harding has foreseen as a pos
sible outcome of the armament con-
ference, would be ''the old League
Of Nations under another name, u
Senator Borah. Republican of Idaho
said in a statement last night.
Senator Borah was one of the ire
|colciliables in the Senate who OPP
posed the League of Nations as COM
prised in the treaty of Versailles
He maintained throughout the fight
a position of unalterable opposition
to the league, with or without reser-
vations, and for this reason was
found in the ranks Of those voting
against the various Lodge reserva-
tions. Senator Borah voted for the
Knox resolution, the purpose of
which was to repeal joint resolutions
and enact Congressional declara-
ton OF peace.
The association of nations re-
ferred to in Mr. Borah's statement
was described in official circles "as
a continuing conference" at which
the nations might meet periodically
to discuss international subjects
Such a conference was said to be
regarded by Mr. Harding as a pos,
{, sible result of the armament confer.
ence. The president was said to al
ready have discussed his thought
with members of several delegations
and to have received assurances thai
they regarded such a development a.
possibility. AS a first step toward
realization of the idea, it was said
fnations not represented at the pres
ent conference might be invited tt
endorse the conclusions reached here

In naval ornaments, If competitive

irresistible force driving the inter-
national conference toward an agree
ment on the naval holiday and q
reduction and limitation Of naval

The administration has taken
pains to leave the foreign delega-
tiOns no illusions of this question.
President Harding has stood pat on
his original dictum that the United
States would reduce armament un-
der the terms OF hard and fast
agreement, but not otherwise. Sec
rotary Of State Hughes has made it
clear to the most obtuse that the
United States is willing but not
impelled by necessity to limit arma-
mont and in the conference called
by President Harding merely offers
an opportunity to the other powers
to tighten the burden of competitive
building, which is bearing more
heavily upon them than upon Amer

Harding Opposes Pacifists.
The president has thrown the full
weight OF his influence against the
pacifist element, which he fears
will endeavor to put through legis-
lation for disarmament for the
United States alone, without refer
ence to international thereon and
which sought to discourage work on
the battleships now under construc-
tion. Likewise he discouraged the
move Of Senator Pomorene of Ohio
to have Congress halt all naval
building while the conference is in
progress and refused to be swerved
from his course by Great Britain's
suspension of the production and
assembling Of material for the four
new battleships Of the Hood type.
The agreement is the first desid-
eratum, the president holds. and

fields is marvellous. New wells are
being brought in SO rapidly, that
they cease almost to be matter OF

SCOTCH CURED
 HERRING HAVE
 LARGE DEMAND

As a resul: of the short pack of pIc',lod herrings made in scotland this year. and the demand for Scotch.curcd Alaska herrings has been so great that our packers have been unable to supply it, and in consequence the prices offered for Alaska Scutchcurcd hcrrings have scared to dizzy heights. Great preparations are now under way by the present packers in Alaska ,o vastly increase their output for next year. Tn addition. eastern wholesalers and handlers of imported herriugs are no" turning their attention jo this coast where there has been no dimiuu- ..1l 'a the supply of this fish, and next season will see q number of them actively operating in Alaska
 This great increase in the number of operators will mean a big demand for men who are familiar with the best methods of curing herring, and especially the Scotch-cure. which is the one mainly demalhcd by our cou. sumcrs and the College or Fishorlrs. of the University Of Washington. at Seattle has arranged an extremely practical course in herring curing to be given during the winter quarter be- ginning January and ending March I5, 1922.
 This herring class is arranged sole ly for the benefit of men or women who are now engaged in some line of fishery work. or who wish to take up such work. No examination is required to enter the classes, the only require mont being that the applicant be able to read and write English. There is no limitation as to age, or the state or country from which the applicant comes
 In addition to herring curing the college has arranged for a number of additional classes in subjects of interest and value to practical fish crmen, and others, among which may be mentioned the canning and curing of fishery products, bacteriology of foods, study of food laws. fish culture and pond culture. elements Of uayiga- tion, the handling of gas and oil en- zines, etc.
