- WASHINGTON Oct. 24 (By

cattle Industry is to be driven
from the United States, congress
must :pass remedial . Jegislation

puhlicanjrizona, declared, today
ina .8umnary of .hb findings as
the result of the senate comnUttee
Investigation of grazing lands.
, Virtually all cattlemen of the
wesre on -the verge of bank
ruptcy, he said, adding that if
aomething Is hotdOne within the
next year .they wlll be forced out
of .business. Thev cattlemen are
not asking for fchaHty but for an
opportunity. t retrench their war
lossei so ,that. the; United SUtes
will not be dependent upon South
America, and Australia for Its beef
supply-with resultant high prices.
The caUlemen'a - difficulty, he
said, can be traced to government
restrictions , "on grazing lands
the public domain and in the na
tional forests. At the next session
he declared he intended making
an effort to get legislation enacted
which would give cattle men the-l
right to lease land on the public
domain for at least 10 years with
the privilege-of fencing the prop-
erty. ;
The legislation also would in
elude the establishment ol nation
al -uniform grazing fees in nation
al forests, which would prevent
the government from charging 75
cents a head one year and $1.50
a head the next.. - ? .

fences In cattle country until the
senate 'committee had submitted
its report, Senator Cameron said
"Drift" fences, he explained, were
constructed cooperatively by the
ranchers to prevent herds wander

WASHINGTON. Oct. 24. (By
Associated Press. ) The ' ninety-
sixth article of war under which
Colonel William Mitchell of the
army air service has -been indicted
for court martial by the war de
partment; may Itself be brought to
trial. -
This possibility . developed to
night when representative Reid of
Illinois, counsel for the air officer,
made public two statements chal
lenging the constitutionality of
the article, although he failed to
reveal any' Indication of 'the pro
cedure he would follow when the
trial begins Wednesday. ' . '
T"he right of freedom of speech
s undoubtedly guaranteed by the
constitution." Mr. Reid said, "and
if the ninety-sixth article of war
abridges that right. It Is unconsti
tutional and void.
In the second statement, Mr.
Red invited attention, to the fact
that although, his client had been
charged with conduct prejudicial
to good order and military disci
pline by issuing certain statements
In violation of the9th article of
war; the truth of such statements
were not ' questioned In the
charges. ,:
It the construction attempted to
be put upon that article by the war
department" is allowed to prevail.
he added, itf will seat ataught
the constitution ; of -the United
States and the army and the war
department will .become a law un
tothemselves which will never be
permitted under our form of gov
ernment." . ' .
Mit Reid asserted ' further that
the war, and' navy departments
had previously been scheduled to
vigorous criticism from within
and that the statements made by
Col. Mitchell "are mild compared
to those of General Hooker, Gen
eral McCfelland, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt and Admiral - Sims,
which:; were published broadcast,
yet no disciplinary action was ever
taken against them.

"We have bad collisions . be
tween submarines while both were
bubmerged," he siad, "we have
had collisions between submarines

cent disaster to the S-5 1 illus
tiates that no matter how careful
or expert the crew.of a submarine
may be an overtaking ship may
sinklf.
"There, are risks to be assumed
in time of peace. Ships must be
moved in the fog on dangerous
coasts in time of peace if they are
to be so moved in time of war.
Airships must be flown in time of
peace in conditions under which
they will be compelled to fly in
time of war.
"The United States navy is a liv
ing entity. It lives and moves and
has its being. It is subject to the
usual hazards of life. We do not
live upon the , principle that we
should seek 100 per cent security
