JAPAN's NAVAL ACTIVITY.

1t is interesting to know that
Japan Is not allowing the talk of
disnrmcnt of nations now being in
dulged In ut The Hague to distract
their attention from building war YES
sells and putting herself in strong
fighting condition. According to the
Boston Globe travellers through ia
pan return with glowing accounts of
the beauty of the Island Empire, the
reverence OF the Japanese for their
ancient religion, the increased growth
in industrial lines and the deep in
terest in education, but all agree that
in the ship yards the most remarka-
BILE activity is discerniblc In other
words while the Japanese are adopt
ing many European and American
customs and improvements. they are
imbucd with fierce desire to build
up n navy that will make them re-
spected and feared everywhere. Con-
seQuontly, while outside the ship
yards there is nothing 10 distinguish
the social and commercial relations OF
Nippon from any other country, in
side the yards there is sufficient work
almost to convince visitor that the
nation was preparing for war.
The men toiling In the Nippon yards
are putting in ten hours every day
among all the equipment necessary
to forge naval instruments OF death.
All this activity in naval circles con
trasts remarkably with only eleven
years ago. At that time the naval
yards mt Kure were established in
consequence Of the war with China,
and now there these alone provide
employment for 10000 men and are
capable of producing battleships the
equal of any ailoat, in the judgment
of the experts.
The enormous increase of the Jap.
anese fleet during the past two years
Is not generally appreciated In other
countries. Tho following list pre-.
pared for an English magazine gives

in Japanese yards at the present

is strong disposition among the
newspapers to print news about 1t, and
your letter boosting 1t may reach the
public eye through the paper of some
far away town, which, of course
would result in good for the show.
We will cite one little instance to
show how great deal can be accom-
pllshed with but little effort. An
elderly Indy resident of Newport
News while on visit in Northern
city invariably spoke enthusiastically
of the Exposition and of what splen-
did place Newport News was for
headquarters while seeing all the
sights at the big fair. In way en-.
tirey mbeknown to her, the state
ments she made reached the ears of
n newspaper man and he called on
her. The lady i'm question is not II
worldly woman and her knowledge of
newspaper men had their limitations
and she was II triiie frightened over
the thought OF being interviewed.
She happened however, to have in
her hands at the time tho caller was
ushered in. a copy of the Daily Press,
III which n number of the glories OF
the Exposition were exploited and
she turned it over to the reporter.
The result was that evening the read
ers Of a paper having circulation that
reaches in five figures, were RECALLED

about the Exposition. 1t is useless
to even figure on how much good that
elderly lady's little boosting did. and
