Washington, Oct. 13—Secretary Dan iels is considering a five-year naval program, fat the end of which time from 15 to 20 dreadnaughts and battle cruisers, nearly 100 submarines, about 70 destroyers and several scout cruis ers and a proportionate number of aux iliaries would be added to the present fleet. With the 70 submarines already built and buildiag, the total number of un dersea craft would total about 170 in five years. The entire program for first year, which would include provi sion for at least 8000 additional men for the ships would, it is estimated, cost approximately 1248,000,000, or about $10o 000,000 increase over last year. The contemplated program probably will be laid before President Wilson within a few days by Secretary Dan iels. They are agreed that it will be necessary to practically double the present fleet in the next five years in order to be adequately prepared for de fense. i ■ Klamath Indian F'ound Guil ty of Cattle Stealing A jury in the federal court Thursday afternoon returned a verdict of guilty in the case of Elmer Lynch, a Klam ath Indian, accuse ! of cattle stealing.

MITCHEL Ralph Saekville left London to the plaudits of crowds of people who were viewing bis regiment march to the sta tion to be entrained for the coast and thence to Belgium. In six months lie returned under very different circum stances. There were no crowds to gleet him. Instead of the handker chiefs waving from the windows and the sounds of martial music many of the blinds were closed, and there was only the rattle of tlie cab in which be was driven through tlie streets. Slickville hud lost a foot and ankle and was discliarged from the ranks. He had been among the first to re spond to bis country's call, leaving thè service of a bank In which be was employed, to Join the colors, Ills posi- tion in the bank was still open to him. but it required him to stand all day paying checks, and lie was unable to till it. I ndeed. there were few posi- lions he could till. Tlie only occupa- lion that occurred to him as suited to his altered condition was that of chauf feur. He wus a gentleman without means mid shrunk from doing menial work, but it was the best he could do. and he hobbled to u garage and se cured a position. One day lie was directed to go to a hotel and call for Miss Amelia Duncan, an American young lady traveling with her Invalid mother, who was confined to her room under her daughter's care, assisted by a nurse.
