TOKIO, Aug. Jo.—Japan has made
preliminary plans to increase her
army by f»0 per cent and to build
three times the number of dread
naughts and battle cruisers previously
planned.
No official announcement has been
made, but if is understood that the
project adopted at a recent confer
in ** of field marshals and fleet ad
mirals includes tin* creation of an
army of twenty one corps, or forty
two divisions, and the enlargement of
the navy so that it will eventually in
clude three main fleets, each to con
sist of eight dreadnaugbts and eight
battle cruisers. Each of the new army
divisions will be composed of three
regiments, instead of four, as at pres
ecu.
Years will be required to develop
the army and navy to the desired
strength, hut a beginning will be
made as soon as conditions, especially
financial conditions, will permit.
I'nder the new military program
Japan would have 120 regiments, as
against the present 84. there being
now in existence 21 divisions, each
of four regiments. An increase of
42 regiments is provided for.
Of this increase, four new divisions
are c overed by the army program laid
down in 1900, when il was decided to
increase the number of divisions to
2.7. or to a total strength of 1"" regi
ments. This program lias not yet
been carried into effect Writers ten
military u|atters estimate that the
new plan contemplates an eventual
enlargement ot the* Japanese army by
,"tci percent above its present strength,
with a corresponding enlargement of
the reserves, due to the great mini
hei s pas.-ed through the service eaell
year. Many think the expansion will
he easy from the standpoint of man
power.
The naval program adopted at the
last session of the diet was to till
out a fleet of eight dreadnaughts and
six ! attic cruisers. The new naval
proposal therefore means that Japan
plans to.build two squadrons, each to
be composed of eighf dreadnaughts
and eight battle cruisers, and two ad
ditional cruisers to fill out the pres
ent battle cruiser fleet. In other
words, the construction project calls
for sixteen additional dreadnoughts
and eighteen more buttle cruisers.
The estimated expenditure involved
is large. That for the* army is placed
at about $87.170,0110, and that of the
mivy at .1 limit $."i4o.Uoo,uuO. It is
probable that the actual costs would
la* much higher, as the estimate's men
tioned above are based upon figure's
worked out before the war, when
price's were lower.

I’AUIS, Aug 2H.—Arras, which has

• four years, was not to be prevented
from celebrating the Fourth of July.
The prefect of the department, who

[ in Boulogne, visited the ruins of Arras
'■ on Independence day and found that
, some fifty flags had been hung out on
its roofless buildings and battered i
walls. The Stars and Stripes floated ]
from many ruined buildings. Some of
the town's Inhabitants had found
means to return or had never left, as
the prefect met a dozen in the streets \

LONDON, Aug, 2H.—British women
have proved their ability in th'e mak
ing of "tank" parts, and in one fac
| lory the whole process of tank manu
! facture is now carried out by women,
says Miss Anderson, inspector of fac
[
lories.
Shipyard work is considered by in- j
specters as “hard but healthy," while
others see the same benefit to women
in the heavy work of steel and iron '
works, blast furnaces, brick works
and spelter works. A foreman in
[ charge of a blast furnace said he
i would be willing to undertake any
ierro-conerete work with won. ti only.
