Of the globe. When 1t closed its war In
Manchuria il brought home one million
soldiers. 1t has something like four mil

sand men under arms. 1t has almost as
many officers in it's army as we have SOL

AS TO Japans navy. this has been enor-
mously increased since the war The
country got eight battleships from Russia
and il is now building two gunboats of
the Dreadnought type. 1t has recently
added thirty torpedo destroyers. and it's
