' 'WASHINGTON. Aug. 8. Administra tion officials believed tonight they had won their fight for authorization by Congress of the big naval building pro gramme, including four dreadnoughts and four battle cruisers for 1917, drawn up by the Senate naval committee after conferences with President Wilson and Secretary Daniels. Majority Leader Kitcnin, In serving notice today thatj he would call up the bill in the House Tuesday, announced that Chairman Padgett, of the House naval commit tee, one of those who held out in con ference against the Senate Increases, "would move that- they be agreed to. Earlier In the day Mr. Padgett and Senator Swanson, ranking Democrat of the Senate committee, had talked over the subject with President Wilson, who Is understood to. have reiterated his belief that authorization of the large programme was imperative. Call Sent Out for Absentees. ' Senator Swanson said tonight leaders had made a careful canvass of the situation and were confident that the Senate's personnel increases and con tinuing building programme would be accepted by the House, along with the building increases for 1917. A call was sent broadcast to absentee Rep resentatives to be on hand for the vote Tuesday. In making his announcement to the House, the majority leader said sepa rate roll calls would be taken on the Senate amendment increasing the capi tal ships for next year from four to eight; on the proposal for a general construction programme next year pro viding for increased number of sub marines, destroyers and other vessels besides those of capital class; on the three-year continuing programme; on the personnel Increases, and on the ap propriation of $1,685,000 for a drydock at Charlestown, N. C. Padgrett'a Surrender Surprise, That Chairman Padgett would make a motion to concur in these amend ments came as a surprise to opponents of the big naval programme. They would not concede defeat and sent out appeals to absent members, urging them to return Tuesday and vote to In sist on the House authorizations. Sena tor Swanson said no doubt remained that the Senate naval programme would lie approved. "The House will vote for the Senate building programmes," he said. "We have made a thorough canvass of the situation and are confident of victory I mean that there will be approval not only of the capital ship construction programme and the increased pe eonnel, but also of the three-year con tinuing construction programme. With final action on the naval bill Imminent, the Senate today approved without debate the conference report on the $267,000,000 Army appropriation bill, which will be called up and acted on In the House tomorrow. A favor able vote is expected before adjourn ment tomorrow night, after which the measure will go to the President If expectations of Administration leaders are borne out, the naval bill will follow it to the President's desk within two weeks at most, and Na tional defense legislation, undertaken as the salient feature of the Sixty- fourth Congress, will have been con eluded with appropriations to carry it Into effect aggregating approximately f6S5.O0O.00O.

BREMEN IS EXPECTED ROAD FUNDS GIVEN Oregon to Get $127,758 Under Forest Reserve Section. RESOURCES ARE VALUED Discharge Papers for Fonr Men Ar rive, and Their Piaeea Win Be ) Filled Immediately.' ! BY WILL G. MACRAE. CAMP BALBOA, San Diego, Aug. 8. 'Special.) Captain White, as soon as his troopers reached the drill ground this morning, went into the high, and for the first time the command for troop drill at a trot was given. In spite of the green mounts It was well carried out. After an hour of this, the troopers were again rehearsed In the school of equitation, riding in cir cles and dismounting and mounting. Non-commissioned officers later were schooled in making up saddle packs, such as are used when the troopers are cent on patrol or scouting duty. This is important for the cavalryman, for each trooper must know how to pack his equipment, which weighs close to 240 or 250 pounds. The lesson consists of packing a three-day supply of ra tions, fodder and blankets, which must tie packed in a manner that will not Injure the horse or Interfere with his Bait. The horse ridden by Hyde Clarke suddenly decided today to send Trooper I Clarke after the altitude record. After two vigorous buck jumps Trooper Clarke decided to land, and the horse was riderless. - Discharge papers for S. J. Silverman, A. L. Love, Clyde Mead and E. J. Omal ley were received this morning. The men had applied for discharge because 'they had families dependent on them. In the same mail came a notice to Cap tain White that four men assigned to the troop were coming from Camp ,W ithycombe. Mount Hood Loop and Oregon Caves Roads Probably Will Bo Ap proved and That to Crater Late Park Is Possible. OREGONIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug.:. 8. In addition to the $78,687 which has been allotted out of the general good roads funds for ex penditure in Oregon this year, an al lotment of $127,768 will be mad to Oregon under the forest reserve sec tion of the new law, making a total of $206,445 of Federal funds to be ex pended on roads In the state prior to June 30 next. Officials of the Forest Service In conference with Western members of the House today adopted a. plan of ap portioningr the $1,000,000 appropriated for building roads in forest reserves. The forest reserve area of the states and the value of resources in the re serves are used as the basis of the apportionment The Forest Service estimates that the timber In the Oregon reserves as It stands today, much of it inaccessible and therefore possessing no market value, is worth $115,766,762, and the grazing resources of the resrves are es timated as being worth $4,299,695. Under the allotment approved, Wash ington will bet -$91,729 for building roads in its forest reserves and Idaho $180,148. The Forest Service has not yet ap proved plans for any specific roads, but tha Oregon members of Congress are satisfied that the Mount Hood loop and Oregon Caves roads certainly will be authorized and If it is found the al lotment is sufficient, the Jackson County road to Crater Lake Park may also be authorized. On the Mount Hood road the Govern ment will require material co-operation on the part of the state and may do the same with regard to the Crater Lake road, but the greater part of the cost of the Oregon Caves road prob ably will be borne by the Government. the effort to accomplish that which Is fundamental to the protection and betterment of the railway men.

While it was gen erally conceded that one guess was as good as another, those who argue that the German submarine Bremen will find refuge in Boston harbor were en couraged today by persistent reports that, an outgoing cargo for the mer chantman was being assembled here. According to these reports, which could not be traced to a definite source, the cargo will consist of nickel and rub ber which are being brought to town in a way to escape observation. Marine observers who picket the Massachusetts coast had their glasses pointed east by northeast. They figured mat it tne Bremen were one of the submersible! picked up off Cross Island, on tne amine coast, yesterday, she ought to turn Cape Ann today. She could hug tho coast from Cross Island down and have all the water she needed within the three-mile limit. I his being the case, shipping men were puzzled to know why she should continue submerged, when she could, with perfect security from hostile in terference, come into port with colors flying. It was suggested that her cap tain might wish to keep his course a secret. COLUMBUa O..

In the opinion of Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, retired, one of England's greatest naval experts. "I cannot .regard." said Admiral Brldg-a. "the naval appropriation vand the programme agreed upon by the United States Senate as more than modest, considered In connection with your requirements, or when we remem ber that the strength of the police force should be commensurate with, the treasures that tempt. "I have been one of those who con. slder the Panama Canal as an even greater asset for defensive purposes man ior commercial advantage and I believe that a larger naval programme for your country certainly is justified by Inability to place perfect confidence In the canal's availability on account of slides now and then. It appears that your naval experts have duly con sidered this point in making- provision for 157 additional ships. Including IS capital ships, in a programme to be completed within three years. With your present strength, such an addition will. Indeed, place your power on the sea next to that of Britain. "Notwithstanding some divergence of opinion on the subject.
