They were recently captured by employes and placed in one of the smaller tanks in which the tom tate’s were. There was too little room for them in this tank so they were placed in a wooden box and suspended in one of the large tanks at the north end of the aquarium. Practically every person visiting the aquarium today asks for the tank with the oc- tepi. All of them are in good condition except one which has one of the tentacles bit- ten off. They are all babies. SILI SII La LSE NAVAL OFFICER COMING TO CITY COMMANDER SBRAGG AND FAMILY DUE TO ARRIVE ON THURSDAY Commander Kendall B. Bragg, U. S.

Clark and his asso- ciates wanted, and did not get, an outright embargo on credit to warring nations. In addition to an embargo on munitions and war materials, which they got, they sought unsuccessfully an embargo on food or other commodities sus- They wanted, and danger zones shou'd be warned to get out and should be left without protection if they failed to get and should be left without pro- tection if they failed to get out.
