LETTER MAY BE ON WAY

Herbert Hoover will accept the in
vitation to become Secretary of the
Department of Commerce in the Ad-
ministration of President Harding.
That was the opinion expressed by
a friend who talked with him last
night after day passed in serious
consideration of the offer.
Mr.. Hoover was waiting to hear
from certain persons with whom he
had assumed obligations in connec-
ton with relief work. and more par
ticularly in connection with the ma
tional organization of engineers, formed
for the purpose of decreasing indus
trial waste. He did not feel like
abandoning this enterprise without
first obtaining the approval of his as
sociates
Barring unforeseen circumstances
Mr. Hoover probably will send his ac-
ceptance to the President elect to-day,
it was said.
Hoover Consults Friends.
Throughout the day and last night
Mr. Hoover steadfastly refused to say
more than that ne was giving the Presi-
dent-elects offer the most earnest con-
sideration. He received the advice OF
friends who visited his offices at AZ
Broadway Some urged that he decline
the offer, but the majority sentiment, II
was said. was to the effect that Mr.
Hoover could not refuse to accept the
opportunity for service. kilograms bear
ing on the subject came from all parts
of the country.
part of the day was spent by Mr.
Hoover with committees clearing UP the
financial drive Of the European Relief
Administration. All along It had been

Frankly fearing that diplomatic
tension might increase if comments
leaked out on Secretary of State
president of the council of the League
of Nations entering the protest Of the
United States against the mandates
given Japan for the Pacific islands, in
cludlng the island of zap, the council
closed its doors this afternoon, ex-
cluding all but council members and
Chief Secretary Sir Eric Drummond
while it considered the reply to be
sent TO Washington. providing the
governments directly interested in the
demands of the United States do not
object.
The reply as envisaged BY members
of the secretariat tonight will be
friendly but firm in tone, reminding
the United States that the island Of
Yap mandate has already been
awarded after approval by the Su-
preme Council and advising the Wash
ington State Department that Great
Britain and France. as the Powers
most interested in Mesopotamian con-
troll. have agreed that this matter
should not be determined at this ses-
sion of the council and suggesting
that the United states be given every
opportunity for representation at the
next session lin ApriD so as TO sup
plement what Is already known with
reference 10 her views on Mesopo-
tamian oil rights.
In fact, the note from Washington
is considered by some persons close TO
the League of Nations delegates as
presenting q cleverly designed trap to
inveigle Mr.. Harding. when he takes
over the Government ten days hence,
into active cooperation with the coun-
Gil of the League OF Nations, thus
tacitly giving the recognition OF the
Republican Administration to the de
facto status of the League of Nations
through discussions over the council
table of points touching Americas
foreign policies such as the Mesopo-
tamian and zap mandates.

Great Sturnenn Eishinn

The scene of the sturgeon fishing
is at the mouth Of the river Volgs
where as many as $4,000 sturgeon are
sometimes captured in one day. The
flesh Is salted for use during the nu-
merous fasts enjoyed by the Greek
church, but the flesh, though valuable.
and resembling veal when roasted in
the same way, is not by any means
the chief value of the fish. IsingIass
and caylare are the two principal
products which make the sturgeon SO
valuable. The air-bladder, when dried
and properly prepared, is named ism
glass, and this very valuable mate
rial used to be annually imported TO
England from Petrograd In large
quantities. Caviare is a preparation
from the roe Of the female fish. It
has a strong, oily, and peculiar flavor,
much esteemed by gourmands-at
least, after they have become used
10 it-but not so much approved of
by persons of simple tastes. The
preparation Of these swo products
gives employment to many thousands
Of persons.
