The body is oblong, rather com.
pressed and we'll covered with small
firm, adherent scales. There is
very distinct lateral line. The eye
has an adipose eyelid and the gill
membranes are broad and united.
AS this fish goes through the wa
ter with speed and grace, you can
easily imagine you are seeing giant
dace. They are rarely still and seem
always to be going somewhere to
keep an appointment and are late
in getting a start. Then back they
come as If they had forgotten some

In the order Isispondyl, in which

deniably favorable sentiment to the
administrations position, it does MOI
appear that the situation will have
been greatly changed, so far as prob
able action by the Senate at the
present session Is concerned.
The Senate bloc opposing any re-
peal OF the present arms embargo
continues to insist that the repeal
OF the mandatory embargo provision
OF the existing law has only one
aim-to make it possible for the
British, the French and their po-
tential allies in a war with the die
tator powers, Germany, Italy and
Japan, to purchase arms and NUM-
tions in the United States. They
regard the arguments advanced by
the Secretary of State and the
President in favor of neutrality
and in support of the demand that
all possible steps be taken to keep
this country from involvement in
such war, or any war, as mere
sugar coating. Senator Hiram
johnson Of California, for example
says fatty that the purpose of the
administration is to take sides in
the European difficulties of today
to support one group of nations
against another.
The enactment of the admins
tratlon's recommendations for neu-
trallty law change, the isolationists
insist, would be regarded abroad as
an unneutral act, under all the cir
cumstances.
Fascist Nations Elated.
1t has been quite clear for a long
time that the administration be-
heNs that the best way to prevent
the outbreak of war in Europe-and
the worlds to give evidence that
aid may be expected by the demo-
cratic nations from the United
States. The administration may be
entirely correct in such an estimate
Certainly the refusal of Congress
up to the present to adopt the
administrations proposals to put an
end to the arms embargo has been
hailed in Germany and Italy as
evidence that the American people
are divided and that there is no
certainty they would agree to take
part in war abroad. Most of all
however, it is clear that If the en-
barge remains a part of the law
and the law is enforced, Great
Britain and France would not be
able to purchase arms and NUM-
tions in this country.
The control Of the seas by Great
Britain and France. it is asserted
would make possible the purchase
of arms and munitions in this
country in the event of war, while
