VigiIants Will Practice Many
Hours This Week in Antici-
patton of Rough Schedule.

Following the Thanksgiving Day
game at Vigilant Park. the team headed
by Palmer Derby and Joe Oliveri will
go to Youngstown Sunday to tackle the
Patrician A. c. eleven. Arrangements
for this game were completed today by
ONveri. and many hours OF the stin-
est kind Of practice will be observed
under the direction OF Derby this week.
One OF the largest Sunday crowds
which has attended the games at
Vigtlants' park saw the big V team
win from Battery r. Score 10 to o.
1t was a closely contested game from
the outset, and only clever plays eX-
ecuted by the locals at opportune times
prevented no-score finish.
The nearest the Soldiers came to
scoring was IN the opening period
when the ball was lost on Vigilants' l2-
yard line. The Vigilants were pushed
hard to win. and after three periods
commenced to show signs OF weari,
ness. but were able to hold on to the
end.

SIXTEEN SHIPS
IN FIVE YEARS

Washington, Oct. 14.--Secretary
Daniels, in agreement with the gener.
al board of the navy, virtually has de-.
cided to recommend to congress a
five-year construction programme
which will include 16 capital fighting
ships-1O dreadndughts and six bat
tie cruisers.
Just what number is to be au-
thorized the first year will be deter
mined after the secretary and Presi-
dent Wilson confer tomorrow. A de-
cision will be reached then as to the
manner in which the appropriation
will be distributed over the fve-year
period.
On this point depends whether the
combined army and navy estimates
for next year will be kept around the
S4OC,0O0,OO0 mark desired by the ad-
ninistration, or aggregate $432,OO0,-
900. The president indicated today
shat he favored big increases in both
army and navy in accepting an in.
vitation to speak within the next
three weeks before the Manhattan
club of New York on the subject of
national defense.
During the day the president talked
at length with both Chairman Hay of
the house military affairs committee,
and Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
announcing to them his approval of
the military policy framed by Secre-
tary Garrison and officers of the gen.
eral staff of the army, calling for an
appropriation of S182,O00,O0O, or an
increase of $72,O0O,OOO over last year
Much of the increase will be for field
artillery and coast defense, expenses
to be incurred in the creation of
reserve of 100000 men every three
years by means of a short term en-
listment, and an addition to the regu-

REMONSTRANCE WIRED
 TO WASHINGTON OFFICIAL

The consignment of mail which arrived last Thursday was another limit load, and consequently little or no mail was taken on at Takotna from the Ruby and Fairbanks route. The presumption is that the Sew ard office is still congested with Iditarod second class matter, as the periodicals re- celved were in many instances of Septem- Der and October date. No late newspapers were received, and apparently but few of the current magazines. There is a good deal of murmuring about the method of consgnlng the mail, especially at from the Fairbanks district, and Postmaster Vile yesterday forwarded the following telegram to Washington:
