JAPAN TO INCREASE
SIZE OF HER NAVY

TOKYO. Dec. 1s-The budget for 1911
L as finally completed was announced
today as follows:
Receipts ordinary. E2.1ssooo yen; ex-
traofdinary. 4s.796,97S; expenditures or
binary. 4o7.f13274; extraordinary. 1881.
6e9 A yen is equivalent to about 30
cents In American money.
Marquis Katsura, premier and minis
ter of finance, takes a hopeful view OF
the financial situation He says that
the affairs Of the current year and the
financial program have worked well.
This program will be continued. During
the year past the government has had
a particularly heavy burden to carry.
The navy has called for an increased ex-
penditure in order to avoid the criti-
cism Of neglect In advancement with
other powers. The annexation OF Korea
and disastrous floods have added mate
rally to the extraordinary expenses.
He says the government has commit
ted itself to these principles. In the
next six years 100000 yen will be spent
in supplementing and improving the
navy; 100000 is appropriated for the
next fiscal year.

General Hernandez In an interview to-
day stated that General Navarro's in
activity, following the battle of Cerro
Prieto last Sunday, was due to his
(Hernandez) orders that achievements
be awaited before pressing the insur-
rectos further.
Advices from Pedernales state that
small detachments of revolutionists con-
tinue to arrive in the vicinity of Cerro
Prieto and Rancho Antigua, making
good the insurrecto boast that when the
federals again attack 1t will be against
1000 men. Navarro himself expects that
the next engagement will be more seri-
Gus than that of last Sunday.
General Hernandez doubts the story
that Navarro executed 30 alleged anti
re-electionists after Sundays battle
The story was told, however, not only
among the revolutionists, but in Navar-
ro's own camp.

congregation has IN the meantime re-

DR.. COOK WILL REAPPEAR
IN AMERICA NEXT WEEK
Tells of Mirages Which De-

CBy Associated Press.)


NEW YORK. Dec. 15.-Dr. Frederick
A. Cook. the Brooklyn explorer. has
sent word to his friends here that he
will reappear next week following his
self-imposed exile OF one year. DIR.
Cook has confessed that he did not
know whether he reached the north
pole or not and in tomorrow's issue oil
Hampton's Magazine he tells of the
mental and physical stress he labored
under on his journey northward. DR.
Cook, speaking OF the trip over the ice
says.
There was little in the white waste
about me to occupy my attention. Some
times a spot on the horizon. or the
twist OF a dogs tail would fascinate me
and hold my attention for many min
utes.
During this time, from the early
days OF our journey, an i want to show,
everything centered about the idea OF
the pole. Then to bewilder one, to SCI
one laughing with silly amusement OF
to fill one with a sense OF awe. there
early began a procession of mirages and
optical illusions. The mental effect
find IL difficult to analyze. Sometimes
these exaggerated transformations had
the effect OF bringing far off objects APP
parently near to US. This often caused
confusion in estimating distances.
I'VE made wide detours. at other
times we had to retreat and find new
passages Perhaps in so doing 1 did
become confused and ovcr-estimated my
progress. II that is so. IL is fact mel

CIGARETTES NO GROUND
FOR DIVORCE, COURT SAYS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 16.-Just be-
cause a wife smokes cigarettes does not
give her husband ground for divorce, &C
cording to a ruling by Judge I. A. Frank
Jones, in circuit court here. The case
was that of Robert L. Houk, foreman
in a factory, suing Florence Houk for
divorce, on the ground that she rolled
cigarettes while preparing meals.
Several times she has gone to sleep
at night with cigarette between her
fingers, with the result that the bedding
was soon in fiames," said Houk.
Judge Jones ruled that since Mrs. Houk
smoked in her home and did not humiliate
her husband by smoking on the street,
the grounds were insufficient for divorce.

Australia, like the rest of the world,
is talking back to the soil" But Aus
tralia is not merely talking. She is ac-
tually opening the door to the land and
assisting not only her own people but
desirable settlers from other countries,
to get self-sustaining homes.
Hon. Hugh Mckenzie, minister or
lands for the state of Victoria, is now
in the United States getting acquainted
with our ingenious agricultural imple-
ments and advanced methods Of irriga-
ton.
Incidentally, he hopes to start about
200 American farmers in the direction OF
Victoria, not because he needs the popu-
lation, but because he Is anxious TO
have their knowledge and experience put
at the service of his country.
Mr.. Mckenzie recently spent two
months in England and Scotland tell
ing the people what Victoria would do
for them and the response surpassed
his expectations.
Victoria was confronted by the fact
that its land had been monopolized by
q few big landlords. 1t proceeded to
adopt a system of taxation that made
it Improbable to hold big estates with
out putting them into high cultivation.
That meant that there must be either a
lot of tenants or grea class of small
proprietors.
Australia does not believe in tenants
any more than she believes in land
lords Hence the state of Victoria pro-
ceeded to buy a half million acres Of
the best lands held in large estates, ana
she has supplied irrigation facilities for
about 100000 acres.
Then she formed the Closer Settlement
board to tackle the problem of carving
the big estates into small farms and get
ting the people to build homes upon
them.
The problem was to make it possible
fo- men of small means to get to Vic
tor1S. pay for the land. build houses
and sustain themselves until the soil
should return them a living.
1t was decided that the land should
be sold at actual cost, 8" that the spec
ulative profits of the real estate operator
were eliminated at a stroke.
1t was decided that the settler SHOULD
have 81 Ia years to pay for the land,
and that the payment should take the
form of per cent interest on the &C
tual cost of the land to the government.
Now, this per cent payment not
only covers interest, but principal as
we'll Australia has discovered that it
is cheaper and better to borrow money
on the. credit of the nation and lend IL
back to the people than for each indi-
vidual to borrow, money from bank or
loan agent on his own account.
If the actual cost of the land Is $50
an acre the settler pays 50 per acre for
81 IL years. That not only covers in
terest, but pays off the principal. 1t
gives the settler a chance to make the
land pay for itself and the burden is
so light that-he scarcely feels 1t.
This is not all the government does
&C., q
costing from $3.50 to $500, and employs

SCHEDULE REVISION
CLARK'S IDEA OF TARIFF

WASHINGTON. Dec. fZ-Represellta-
tive Champ Clark gave out a. statement
fully outlining his platform as the pros
pective speaker of the Democratic
house of representatives in the next
congress. He proclaims himself in favor
of the appointment of committees of the
house by a committee. rather thar by
the speaker; and he states his belief
that the tariff should be revised sciied-
ule by schedule, rather than in one sin
gle bill. These two subjects. says Mr..
Clark, are the ones upon which he has
been continually importuned to make
some statement. Fl
The Democratic members of the horse
sent out a call yesterday for Caucus
January 10 of the Democratic member
ship of the next house of ,representa-
tives. Mr. Clark's statement is both
an explanation of the call for that eau
Gus and a declaration of his own plat
form as the probable speaker of the
house.
