NUMBER OF DEER KILLED
 DROPS 46 PER CENT

ALBUQUERQUE Feb. 12-Five hundred and seventy-four deer. 597 turkeys. p bears. 2S wolves and 39 mountain lions were killed by hunt CTS in the Arizona National Forests during the season just passed ac- cO-ding to the district forester's an- nUal report on game conditions sub mitted today to the State Game War den.
 The number of deer killed is 46 per cent less than in 1915. B per cent less than in 1914, and 24 per cent less than in 1913," said District Forester Redington. Tt is safe to assume that the number of hunters has increased These figures there fore indicate an alarming decrease in the supply of deer. These figures therefore. indicate an alarming de- crease in the supply of deer They speak for themselves as to the need for more Game Protective Associa- tions, prompt establishment of game refuges, better laws and above all better law enforcement"
 The report shows that the number of predatory animals killed has also decreased. This is regarded by forest officers as an additinonaI cause for alarm. The game, the say, can not possibly hold up unless preda- tory animals are kept down.
 Decrease is especially notable in the case of blacktail deer. according 10 the report. Forest officers from all over the state agree that the Diacktail is disappearing. White tail deer are holding up better. The report advocates a closed season on blacktail in all places where they are getting scarce.

PHOENlX, Feb. 12-Through an ap- peal directly to D. F. Houston. secre- tary of agriculture, a most important modification of the proposed charge fer grazing privileges in the national forests has been secured. Instead of an increase of g 1-2 per cent for the first year the increase is to be but 25 per cent while all further in creases. as contemplated in the or der issued by the secretary in No Tember, will be deferred until spe- cifie study of the subject can be made. Since the ultimate increase in charges was to be 100 per cent over the old cost of grazing this con. cession by the department cf agri- culture is of vital importance.
 Under date of February I, Secre- tary Houston has announced his new ruling to T. W. TonfHnson, secre- tary of the American National Live stock Association to which so many Arizona stock men belong. Secre- tary Tomlinson has just forwarded the ruling to members here, from Denver.

That the American soldier in the new national army may improve his opportunities, save his money and come out of the war in far better if nancial, intellectual and physical con- dition, than when he went into it, is the promise held out to him both by the United States government and the national war work council of the Young Mems Christian Association of the United States.
 The Army Y. M. c. A. is giving edu- cational courses to men in any sub ject that az group of them may se- lect. Already in many cantonments large classes in French are being held with some of the best instructors in the country in charge. These instruc tors in many cases have volunteered for this service. Classes in Spanish and even in Russian are held
 Every advantage is being placed in the way of the American soldier to i'm prove his condition so that when he

HOLLAND EXPLAINS GERMAN
 EFFORTS TO ACQUIRE SHIPS

The Netherlands minister has in formed the department of state that he made inquiry of his government concerning the report that Germany had refused to furnish steel to Dutch shipbuilders unless they agree that for five years after the war the ships would be in German service. The Netherlands minister has furnished the department of state with the fol- lowing statement, obtained from his government:
 "A few months ago Germany asked Netherlands repairers of ships to in duce the owners of the ships to be re- paired to sign a declaration that for five years after the war these ships would serve the interest of Germany and her allies.
 After objection on the part of the Netherlands against this clause, in volving the continuation of war after the war, the clause has been cancel ed.
 For new ships to be constructed with German steel Germany asks that after the war these ships-in case they are not used for Dutch requirements will be subject to the option for Ger man wants.
 "The only motive for this request of Germany is evidently to procure for itself tonnage after the war
 'This last request seems not very important to the Netherlands govern ment, as Holland herself will surely want all her tonnage after the war.
 Anyhow, nothing has yet been de- cided, and negotiations are still pend ing"

 Training will be started immediate ly. According to the general pro- gram, the soldiers will be drilled 40 hours a week, with Wednesday and Saturday afternoons off for recreation. Those, however, who fail to keep step with the march of instruction, will be obliged to give up their two afternoons of play.
 Officials pointed out today that Ari- zona and New Mexico are the only two states outside the central department of the army that will send troops in to the department for training. They will be quartered at Camp Funston, Fort Riley, Kas. When New Mexico's s quota is complete, it will have sent 2,292 men into camp, and Arizona will be called upon to send 3,472.
 Army officers do not expect that all the men called in the first per cent of the states quotas will reach camp today, as a five day period has been set aside for the movement of the menn As some of the men will have 10 travel several hundred miles to reach camp, it is regarded as possible that the entire first quota will not be in camp until Saturday or possibly Sunday.
 Railroad officials anticipate that the men will be moved to their respec- tive camps without the slightest inter ference to military or normal traffic. The program for transporting the men was mapped out weeks ago. Officials figure that within the next few days approximately 35,OOO men will be transported to the 16 cantonments, scattered turnout the nation. When the next quota starts for camp, Sep tember 19, however, the railroads eX pect to transport about 34,000 men a  day for five days
 Sites for the cantonments were SC lected with regard to water supply, sanitation and transportation necesSl- ties. There is a general similarity to all cantonments. Each camp covers approximately 5000 acres and has training grounds to permit maneuvers of all military units.
 The barracks in each of which 250 men will be quartered, are two-story structures. The second floor will be used for sleeping and the first for mess and assembly halls. All of the cantonments, with the exception of Camp Taylor of Louisville will be steam heated and equipped with iron beds, shower baths and lockers.
