TAKE BIG SLICE OFF ARMY BILL
Congress Conference Report Brings
Defense Total to $637, 7,s47 ,2e2.

Washington.-The conference re-
port on the army appropriation bill,
completed but held up by objections
of President Wilson and the war de.
partment to an amendment to the re-
vised articles of war, reduces the to-
tai appropriations as the measure
passed the senate Monday by $685.
AT. 1t became known Monday that
as it will be reported for final ap-
proval the bill carries $267, 1000 as
against $313,970,00O appropriated by
the senate bill and $1S2,OO0,OOO by
the house.
The report will be submitted to
both houses in it's present form with
in a few days, unless the house con-
ference yield to urgent war depart
ment requests for consideration of
the amendment of Representative
Hay exempting retired army officers
AMI enlisted men from the military
criminal code.
Total appropriations for national
defense, however, have been reduced
from $685., 5,343,O17, where they stood
on senate figures, to $637,947, ,282,
with the navy bill still subject to re-
vision.
In the army bill the conferees made
appropriations for winter clothing for
soldiers on the Mexican border, be-
cause it is not known how long the
men will be kept there.

TWO SUBMARINES SIGHTED BY
LOOKOUT CAUSE RUMORS
BREMEN NEAR BOSTON.
NOT FROM UNITED STATES
The Deutschland May Be Sticking
Close to shore-Many Incoming
Craft Report They Did Not
See Any Submarines.

Portland, Me.-Every point along
the Maine coast watched sharply on
Monday and Tuesday for two SUBJ
marines believed to be foreign YES
sells and possibly the long expected
German merchantmen Bremen and a
consort. The strange vessels were
reported four miss off Cross island,
near Machias, and close to Canadian
waters Monday by a coast guard look
out, but no word had reached here
Tuesday to bear out the emphatic
declaration from the station that they
we're undersea craft and were pro-
ceeding west at top speed. The Wig
il along the coast extended as far
east as Halifax, N. S., and st. John,
N. B., both of which ports reported
that British naval auxiliaries had no
information regarding the presence
Of the submarines in these waters.
During the afternoon thick fog NOV
ed in from the sci, and made extend
ed observations impossible.
The navy department announced
that no American submersibles are
off the Maine coast.
Information from reliable sources
that no British submarines are cruis-
ing in these waUegs. seems to create
the impression in the minds of many
marine observers that the Bremen
was lodging about close to the three
miel INIT, preparing to slip into Bos-
ton.
Another possibility considered was
that the coast guard crc-- might have
seen the Deutschland, driven out of
her course, or else sticking closely to
shore. Captains of incoming craft
reported that they had not seen any
submarines.

LANDS CONTAINED IN THE
PRIVATE PROJECT.
WESTERN STATES BENEFITED
Is Expected to Boost Sale of Bonds
Which Have Been Rather Slow
of Late-HeIp Reclamation
of Arid Lands.

Washington. passage through
the senate on Monday, and the ap-
proval by the president which will
Immediately follow, of the bill intro
duced by Congressman Addison T.
Smith of Idaho, providing for the Gre
alton of lien on homestead and des-
ert entries within irrigation projects
organized under state laws, to the ex-
tent of the proportionate share of the
expense of constructing such irriga-
the reclamation of arid lands which
has probably not been equaled since
the general reclamation law was
passed IA years ago. It should at
once create demand for irrigation
bonds, for which there has not been
ready sale for the last few years.
1t is regarded as the most impor-
tant legislation affecting the arid
lands enacted this congress.
Work Has Been Halted.
Much embarrassment has been en-
countered by promoters of irrigation
projects in recent years because of
the difficulty of securing payment of
the construction charges levied on
entries which have not been patent
ed, as it was possible for the entry.
man to relinquish the entry and turn
the land over to a new entryman
who was not required to assume the
charges which had accumulated Un-
der the provisions of the Smith bill
these charges attach to the land, and
must be paid before the new entry is
approved by the local land office.
The proposed legislation will re-
move many difficulties that have
heretofore confronted the economic
development of reclamation projects,
and will avoid one of the most seri-
GUS hindrances in the organization
and development of irrigation dis
tricts by providing that the public
lands may bear their share of the
improvement work, and at the same
time fully protect the government in
terests in the public lands.
On the Cooperative Plan.
AS the projects will be constructed
under cooperative plan the entry
men will be able to secure water at
actual cost of construction under
their own supervision.
The bill provides also that the prof.
ects, before the law becomes opera
tive, shall have the approval Of the
secretary of the interior, with whom
maps and plans of the projects shall
be filed, thus guarding the interests
of the settlers and avoiding the pos
sibility of projects being undertaken
which are not feasible from an en-
gineering standpoint, and for which
there is not sufficient water supply.
