Government Will Have
to Build Own Ships
By Associdtcd Press

Washington, March l 5. - The naval
program has so overtaxed the private
ship building industry that a consider
able part of the work probably will
have to be done in government yards
Secretary Daniels to-day resumed
his conferences with shipbuilders, ex-
pecting to award contracts before the
end of the week for four of the five
battle cruisers. The fifth ship, he
indicated, will be assigned to a navy
yard and it is probable that one or
two of the new $4,000 ton dread
naughts will be built by the govern
ment itself.
Indications are that at least two ad-
ditional navy yards must be fitted for
capital shipbuilding. The Philadelphia
yard, already has been designated as
big ship" yard and a battle ruiser
an da dreadnaught may be laid down
there

building committee last night decided
to call off the project for the present

other benefits for the members who
would enlist. With the troops at the

OPENING IF INDIAN LAND ID STARVING
 CATTLE PROMISED
Assistant Commissioner of Indian Af. fairs Wires Local Man That Ar. engagements Can Be Made With Resident Agent.

The fact that most Arizona mining districts are dependent upon Arizona and New Mexico range fed cattle for their meat, and that as the war ad- vances this dependence will grow has interested the Arizona chapter of the American mining congress in endeav- bring to assist the cattlemen in serv. ing the thousands of head of their ani mals now starving on the feed de- pleted range lands predominating in the grazing sections.
 An immediate result has been re- ceived from the office of Indian af- fairs of the formation that the gov ernment is making effort to utilize all grazing land possible on Indian reservations in order to assist in the national campaign of food produc- tion. The Indian office goes further than it ever has before in the addi- tional announcement that ''catlemen who desire to take up the question of securing leases or permits to graze cattle should confer with the superin tendent having jurisdiction over the range desired who will advise them fully as to the details connected with the lease or permit.
 From this it is accepted that the government has already instructed the opening of Indian reservations to cat tlemen and has advised superintend- ents to proceed with leases and per mits. Concerning wells on Indian lands, which it was suggested by the Arizona chapter could be drilled by the reclamation service, and with the feed prevalent on the lands enable the saving fsome millions of dol lars worth of cattle and feed, the In. dian office states that the reclama- tion service has no funds available for this purpose, but opens the way for the cattlemen to sink the wells by suggesting that they should be able to raise the money to do the work themselves. It is estimated that the wells, fully equipped would cost about s900 each. Heretofore the rec lamation service alone has had the right to sink wells on Indian lands Under the altered attitude of the In. dian office stockmen will through their associations undoubtedly and quickly provide the money for sink ing wells on the tracts permitted them or leased to them.
 Cooperating with Secretary Ed w. Stephens of the state sanitary live stock commission, who on a recent tour of the state found the grazing situation to be in desperate way the chapter is urging all cattlemen to get their associations together and immediately complete arrangements with the superintendents of Indian lands to allow entry at once of those lands in which are in instant need of help. Prompt carrying through of the work will mean the saving of many millions of pounds of meat to the food resources of the state and nation which will otherwise go to waste on the barren ranches of Ari- zona and New Mexico within the next few weeks.
