On the strength Of this agreement all

I. msv be stated. however that II

committee. becomes law, the organl-
cation Of the navy will have received
far worse setback than the army re-
eeived even under the HAY bill. Per
sonnel legislation. that is to say. the
provisions of the act under which ON
GERS are to be promoted, has been in
serted in this bill without any notice
whatever to the House of Representa-
tives that such course was contem-
plated. As one officer expressed II;
~ do not believe that seven naval
officers even at the department knew
that personnel legislation was under
discussion BY the conferrees.
Daniels Tightens Grip.
Secretary Daniels has frightened his
grin on the naval service. He has done
more than that. Through his personal
representative. Rear Admiral Blue. he
has devised a system Of promotion Of
ravel officers which, IN case the Demo
cratic party is returned 70 power. Will
make the naval service g mere adjunct
Of the Democratic party machine. Mr..
Daniels did not himself appear before
the few hearings held by the con-
ferrees. He has been subjected to too
much criticism; the limelght of pub
hcitv is upon him. 1t was through
Rear Admiral Blue. who did appear
and testified and wrote a report, that
the Secretary Of the Navy achieved
lis ends.
Mr.. Daniels's scheme is as follows:
Nine rear admirals are 20 be appointed
by tho Secretary. in whose hands the
promotion Of every officer in the ser
,ice will ultimately rest. The plan

Work for Private Builders.

II is doubtful that many OF the new
ships will be built in government yards,
although money is provided in the bill
TO increase the number of ways avail
able for dreadnoughts. The two battle
ships authorized in March, 1915, more
than seventeen months ago. and which
have been awarded to the New YORK
and Mare Island navy yards, have not
had even their keels laid yet. As these
are the only two yards at present avail
able. no further ships can be built IN
them for at least two years.
The government will not try 10 equip
the new shirs. Mr.. Daniels announced,

viii Carry Monster Guns.

All the new dreadnoughts will carry
eight 16-inch guns Of new pattern de-
signed by Rear Admiral Straus. The
results of the Jutland battle. where et-
fective hits were made by the British
at a range of 1900 yards. determined
the navy experts in favor Of this weapon
instead of the 14-inch gun used on
other ships. The range of the latter
weapon is nearly 1000 yards less, but
twelve Of them instead of eight, owing
TO their lighter weight, can be mounted
on a ship.
The vessels in general will be similar
to the California and Tennessee class,
Of $4,000 tons displacement, using oil
fuel and electric propulsion.
II is the Administration plan, Sec
rotary Daniels announced. to restore
the navy to it's former position of sec
,ond in the world. II is thought that
the new building programme Will ac-
complish this. While only the barest
details are known to the department re-
earding new construction going on n
the British. German and French navies
since the beginning of the war. officials
feel that this tonnage has been largely
offset by losses. The Japanese navy
also has embarked on expansion, but
not on as extensive a scale as that
MANNED nv Congress.

Daniels to Ask Bids Within
a Week After Navy
Bill Is Signed.
PLANS WILL CALL
FOR 16-INCH GUNS
All Capital Ships Likely To Be
Built and Armored in
Private Plants.
From Tn. Tribun, Bureau

Washington. Aug. o Within week
after the navy bill passes the Senate
and is signed by the President. Score
tary Daniels announced to-day, the
Navy Department will advertise for
bids for the capital ships for which it
provides. Plans for the four dread
noughts arc already drawn, while those
for the battle-cruisers will be ready in
October.
For months the drafting force CT tho
Navy Department has been rushing
these plans and specifications in5o
shape so that no time would be lost in
starting the threc-year building pro-
gramme. Although there is still oppo-
sition in Congress to this feature OF
the bill, Secretary Daniels expects 1t 20
be overcome and the recommendations
os the department carried out. Speci,,
fcations for the fuel ship and hospital
ship have also been completed.

Germans Make Bid
For Canal Route
Offer Nicaragua a Larger Sum Than
the United States For An
Option

Washington, Feb. 14.-That Ger
many had offered Nicaragua larger
sum than the United States for an
option on the Nicaraguan canal
route was urged in the senate today
as an argument for early ratification
OF the pending treaty.
Several senators said they had
been informed during the course of
the debate that Germany had long
sought an option on the canal route,
that efforts first were made soon af.
ter France undertook construction Of
the Panama canal and had been re-
newed more recently. Members of
the foreign relations committee de-
MED reports that there was any doc.
umentary evidence in possession OF
the committee on the subject.
"Of course we have heard reports
that Germany sought to obtain the
Nicaraguan canal route" said Sena-
tor Stone, chairman of the committee.
whether she offered 100000, s12,-
100000 or $2O,OOO,O0O I do not know.
We have no means of knowing. That
Germany was actuated by the same
motives in seeking this canal route
that France had in the original Pan
anna enterprise is apparent to every
one"
Champions Of the pending Nicara-
guam treaty are said to have cited
Germany's desires in urging its rati-
fcation Nicaragua having agreed to
accept the 100000 offered by the
United States for the canal option
and naval base in Fonseca bay.
Senator Stone said late today that
he had agreed to defer asking for a
vote on the treaty until next Thurs
day, several Democratic senators
! having notified him that they could
not be present until that time.

Control Of Forest
Fires is Discussed
Assistant Forester Suggests That
Aeroplanes Be Used To Make
Experiment

Sat Lake, Feb. 15.-The proven
ton and control of forest fires form
ed the principal topic for discussion
at yesterdays meeting OF the dis.
trict foresters in the federal build
ing. The feature of the discussion
was the suggestion by A. G. Mccain
assistant forester in district No. 4,
that the aeroplane be used for scout
ing purposes during the months when
forest fires are most likely to occur.
Mr.. Mccain told the gathering that
his investigations in this direction
had brought out the fact that an aero
plane suitable for such work could be
obtained for from $4,000 to $4,000 or
that an aviator with his own aero
plane could be obtained at a cost Of
from $500 to $500 month. With
such service large area can be COW
cred in a short time and warnings Of
threatening fires can be given quick
ly. In the light Of Mr.. McCain's In
vestigations 1t was decided by the
meeting that the aeroplane was wor-
thy an experiment,
Cooperative Plan outlined
In commenting upon the relation Of
fire hazard to weather conditions, As
sistant District Forester Charles II.
Flory Of Portland, Oregon, outlined
plan Of cooperation which has been
perfected between the weather bu.
reau and the forest service. 1t is i'm
portant that the supervisors have adj
vance information as to probable
heavy winds and to be informed in
advance with regard to humidity, rain
fall and other climatic changes. Ar
rangements have been made with the
local weather bureau forecaster at
Portland to give special notification
regarding all weather changes which
might result. in dangerous fire condl.
lions, and the information is immedi-
ately telegraphed to all supervisors
of the district.
1t was brought out at the meeting
that the forest service has perfected
cooperative arrangements with priv
ate timberland owners providing for
the protection of more than 10000
900 acres of private timber lands ly-
ing within or contiguous to the ma
tional forests. The fire record of
the year 1915 was unusually favora-
BILE. From a total of more than 5000
fires during the year in all national
forests, it was shown that only $780,
900 damage was done.
Losses Decrease
The number of fires in the inter
mountain country was larger than
for the preceding year, but the tim
Der acreage burned over less than
one half.

Coming To
Rescue Of Russia
Help to Be Given on Munitions. Ex-

Also Made

Toxic, Japan.-Huge international
financial transactions are being car
ried out through the transportation
OF gold on the Japanese cruisers To
klwa and Chitose, which will soon
sail for the United States on a Enan.
cial mission connected with furnish
ing war supplies to Russia
Great Britain owed gold specie
balance to Japan and 1t was decided
owing to the danger Of the dispatch
OF gold by sea to ask Russia to send
the necessary specie to Japan and
credit Russia with a similar amount
in London. With infinite precaution
the gold was conveyed from Petro-
grad to Vladivostock, where the Jap
anese cruisers, heavily guarded were
waiting and whence they sailed with
their precious burden to Maizuru.
At the same time and by the same
means Russia forwarded to Japan q
great quantity of silver ingots des'
tined for the Japanese mint at Osa'
ks, where under the direction oil
Russian experts, they will be made
into Russian silver coins for circula
ton in the Russian empire. The gold
specie importation is estimated al
100000 yen. Or slO,OOO,OOO.
According to information at Toxic
the forthcoming voyage OF the Toki
wa and Chitose to the United States
or Canada is for the purpose of trans
porting gold specie in behalf OF Rus
STA and the embarkation in AmericG
OF quantities of material for the man
ufacture OF war supplies.
The idea Is to hasten the turninl
out of supplies by Japan so that Rus
STA may be fully furnished with mu
ritions by the spring or summer.
