DENBY'S ORDER
Hating of Construc-

Ratification of Arms Meet
Treaties - Big Saving De-
spite Cost of Cancellation of
Contracts

Washington. Feb. S-(By A. P.)-
Construction work on IA capital
ships was suspended today by order
Of Secretary DENLY under direction
of President. Harding.
The step was taken in anticipa-
ton Of ratification of the naval Iimi-
tation treaty which resulted from
the Washington conference and un-
der which only three of the vessels
involved will be completed as war
craft. The other II will be scrapped
or converted to merchant ships un-
der the treaty provisions.
Secretary DENLY acted after Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt had dis
cussed with President Harding the
terms of the treaty affecting the new
ships. Mr.. Harding approved the
suggestion that work be brought to a
stand still Immediately on the eight
uper-dreadnaughts and six battle
cruisers pending final action on the
treaty. In round figures the building
operations thus halted have cost the
government approximately s5,O0O,-
600 a month.
Following ratification of the treaty,
contracts for the new ships will be
cancelled. The ultimate cost of the
government of this cancellation can
not be determined in advance, but
naval officials believe considerable
saving will be made through today's
action.

BIG SALMON AND TROUT
ABOUND IN STREAMS OF
BIG NORTHERN ISLAND

An ordinary days stream fishing
should bring you a dozen sea trout
of from one to four pounds, with
now and then a e-pounder.

sea trout is $1,000. No license is re-
quired for the other varieties.
The season opens Jan. 16 and closes
Sept. Is.
All of the streams may be reached
by either the Reid Newfoundland rail
way, coastal steamers or by rail and
steamer.
The most famous streams on the
west coast include Big and Little
Codroys, Harrys Brook. Humber,
River of Ponds and Hawkes. Bay.
On the east coast they are Indian
Brook, Exploits, Gander and Terra
Nova. On the south coast are Sal
monier. Placentia. Long Harbor, Bay
De horde and Grandy's.
Guides to Be Had
Licensed guides are available at
various railway and steamer points.
Fishing and hunting licenses may
be had at numerous places on the
island, but the easiest and most sat
isfactory way is to get them from
the customs official at the port Of
entry.
The best months for salmon and
trout fishing are July and August,
but splendid fishing is available as
early as May and as late as the first
fifteen days of September.
