New ewSuperintendentI To,
Take Charge Saturday
c. c. Covey Has Gone to Rosebud, and
James B. Kitch Takes Charge as
Superintendent Mar. IL

Claude G. Covey, for the past two
years superintendent of the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation, de-
parted Monday for Rosebud, South
Dakota, to assume his new position
as superintendent OF the Rosebud
reservation.
James B. Kitch, the new SUPER
intendent Of the Standing Rock re-
servation, will take charge on Mar.
IL. and in the meantime Chief
Clerk J. F. Giegold, is in charge as.
acting superintendent. g
Mr.. Covey after checking in as
superintendent at Rosebud, expects
to return to Fort Yates some time
next week after Mrs. Covey and
children, who remained here on &C :
count Of the bad weather.
Few superintendents ever took
over the affairs of the Fort Yates
Agency under more favorable condi-
tions than Mr.. Kitch will. He is
thoroughly familiar with conditions
upon the reservation, and in enter
ing upon his new duties will have
the assistance and loyal support of
capable and conscientious corps of
employees from chief clerk to the
humblest Indian police officer.
Mr.. Kitch also enjoys the respect
and confidence of all the Indians
under his supervision, as we'll as the
white citizens of Fort Yates and the
reservation country in general. The
Pioneer knows that Mr.. Kitch in
his relations both with the Indians,
white settlers and business men,
will be just and fair in all his deal
ings, and predicts for him a most
successful administration.

Hasten United States
Navy To Full Strength
American Merchant Ships Will Here.
after Carry Armed Guard for Pro-
lection Against Enemies

Washington, March 3.-Mobilization
Of the complete fighting strength of
the navy has been recommended by
navl officials.
The approval Of President Wilson
ls required before orders can be sent
calling for reserves, assembling the
naval militia and releasing all active
officers now on shore duty for sea
service.
Immediate graduation of the first
class at Annapolis would be included
in the plan in order to make up as
far as possible the threatened short.
age of officers.
In addition to mobilization Of forces
already enrolled in the militia or re-
serve an active recruiting campaign
would be necessary to supply all
ships of military value with full com.
plements.
Officials believe they would have
little difficulty in obtaining the men
If mobilization were ordered.
Forman notice that American ships
traversing the German submarine
zone are to carry "armed guards for
the protection of the vessel and the
lives Of the persons on board" was
sent by the state, department to en-.
bassies and legations of all foreign
governments in Washington.
Following is the text of the com.
munication as made public by the
state department:
I'm view of the announcement of
the imperial German government on
Jan. 81, 1917, that all ships, those of
heutra1s included, met within GER
tain zones of the high seas, would be
sunk without any precaution being
taken for the safety of the persons on
board, and without the exercise Of
visit and search, the government Of
the United States has determined to
place on all American merchant yes,
sells sailing through the barred areas
an armed guard for the protection Of
the vessels and the lives of the ner-
sons on hoard"
The notification will, it is expected,
be sent to Germany by the Swiss le-
cation here. No obstacle will be
placed in the way Of such action.
Whether other neutral governments
will admit American armed ships to
their ports is question for them to
decide, but It is not expected here
that objections will be made.
