Navy De partment officials are preparing to use at the Philadelphia -Und Bremerton yards the $6,000,OOU provided by Con gress for the equipment of Navy-yards for ship construction. While there will be no final decision as to the number of building slips to be installed unti.1 ail contracts for the 1917 building pro gramme have been awarded, it was learned today that the three yards on which the fund will be .expended had been definitely selected. It is equally certain that the Philadelphia yard will get the bulk of the appropriation. Awards for 14 destroyers were en nounced today, but the contracts for four battleships and two destroyers are etill pending in the Department in ad dition to the four scout cruisers and 29 submarines, for which bids have been received. Bids for the four battle cruisers will be opened December 6, and then decision will be made as to the number of ships to be built. Officials now believe the entire build ing programme for next year will be placed with private builders. With the prospect thatCongress will authorize three additional battleships nnd one more battle cruiser before March 4, however. Department officials believe the Navy yards may have to "help out with construction work on the 1917 programme. In addition to the capital ships. Secretary Daniels, it is understood,- will recommend the con struction of 15 submarines, 10 destroy ers and several auxiliaries in the 1918 programme, making up -one-half of the remainder for the three-year pro gramme already authorized. Chairman Padgett, of the House Naval committee, returned to Washing ton today and, after conferences with White House and Navy officials, an nounced that his committee would be gin hearings Monday in preparation for framing the Navy bill for the coming session He said the Department's esti mates for the bill would approximate 1375.000,000.

Se lect from these items: WEST'S PLACE IS NOW BIG (Continued From Flrat Pas. seemingly tired of the old slight, rose up in its wrath and showed the New Yorkers for the first time that the West Is not an adjunct of the East, but is an integral part of the United States, entitled to quite as much recognition as Is to be extended to any other section. Easternera on Committee. When the Republican National Com mittee decided to open Western head quarters at Chicago, a Kentuckian was selected as Western manager. Alvln T. Hert was the man, and Alvln T. Hert is a splendid man. a good manager, and asx adroit politician. But Mr. Hert, when given Jurisdiction over all the country west of Ohio, was not allowed to surround himself with men from the West;' In fact, there wai just one truly Western man holding a responsible po sition at Chicago headquarters Fletch er Maddoi, of Montana, head of the speakers' bureau. Aside from Maddox, the officials at Western headquarters hailed from states no further west than Illinois. xne .faciric uoasi was without repre sentation; the mountain states had no representative save Maddox, and from the great prairie states was no repre sentative whatever. Money Not Spent In West. When Mr. Hert. with his corps of assistants, went into action, handl capped as they were by lack of repre sentative men from the section in whlcn they were to operate, he found himself curbed by New York headquarters. Not only did he find New York assuming duties which should have been en trusted to the Western manager, but he found New York headquarters grabbing off campaign contributions made in the West, and intended for ex penditure in the West. Western Republican headquarters, from first to last, were handicapped by lack of funds; there was little money on hand to be expended in the cam paign west of the Mississippi River there was lack of money for publicity; an even greater lack of funds for lit erature, and a shortage of cash to de fray the expenses o the men who were doing the campaigning. Western head quarters even was - handicapped be' cause its shortage of funds made it lm possible to employ an adequate number of "scouts", to travel through the West, and report upon conditions as the cam paign progressed. This Ignoring of the West had it effect, and that effect was felt when the states of the West began sending in their election returns. The Kast was astounded at the result; it could not conceive of the West swinging to Wil son; it could not comprehend an elec tion in which the West failed to fol low New York, and more than all else. Eastern headquarters was astonished beyond belief when it learned that New York had ceased to be a pivotal state, and when It awoke to the fact that I California and Minnesota held the fate 01 me rreaiaeniiai coniesi. There has been an awakening, a sad awakening, but a real awakening, and unless the lesson is soon forgotten, the West will not again be Ignored, or be turned loose to shift for Itself when the Republican party goea Into another Presidential campaign. Causes of Defeat Known. The defeat of Charles K. Hughes is well understooa by the men who con ducted the Republican National cam paign this year; they know why they failed; they know all the contributing causes that brought, about their down fall; they can fix the responsibility, and thev realize now, as never before, that the ignoring of the West was one of the big factors, though probably not the main factor in the lose of the Great West, which proved to hold the balance of power. The truth is now out that represent ative Western Republicans were not sufficiently consulted during the prog ress of the campaign by the men who were actually running things. Many of the big Republicans of the West were not consulted at all, and in point of fact. Senator Smoot, of Utah, from first to last, was the only Western Republican whose advice was sought by the men in charge at New York. Senator Smoot bad the humiliation of seeing his old rock-ribbed Republican state swing strongly Into tne Jemo cratic camp, carrying with it the United States Senator and two Congressmen from Utah. Lark of Rec-ognltlon Katal. It is not to the disparagement of Senator Smoot that he was the only Western man consulted by the New York Republican headquarters, but It is to the discredit of the New York management that while assuming to direct the entire campaign, it failed to consult freely and frequently with Re publican leaders from the Pacific Coast states and from the states of the Rocky Mountains and Prairie states. One Republican campaigner who spent most of bis time on the stump in the West voiced the opinion, at the close of the campaign that the people of the West were tired of dictation from New York; were tired of trailing be hind -the Empire state; were unwilling to follow the leadership of the old lead ers who never have been willing to recognize good In progressive Repub licans, but have assumed always the attitude that those progressives who left the party in 1912 .must be com pelled to return as penitents. He gave it as his opinion that too much New York leadership had cost the Repub licans the almost solid West, and he also believed that the West generally might have been held in the Repub lican column had the West been given that recognition to which It is right fully entitled. LnMn la Well Larnrd. All that is past. The outstanding fact today is that the East has had a Jolt New York has been made to under stand that it cannot of Itself elec Presidents or elect a Congress, and the fact has been borne home that due consideration must be ' shown for the rights as well as the feelings of the voters of the great West, if they are expected to contribute their share toward Republican success of the fu ture.
