from the Russians, rebuilt at cost
of over 100000, have very slight
fighting value, and the increment
through new battleships is extraor-
dinarily small.
Only the battleships Aki and Sat
suma, completed with almost record
breaking slowness construction in
five years, can be considered modern
ships, though these carry only four
12-inch guns instead of the usual
Dreadnaught armament, and 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether Japan's first
two ships of the Dreadnaught class,
the Settsu and Kawachi, will be fin
ished in time to join the fleet this
year. A first-class battleship cruiser
is under construction in Englandi an
other has recently been started in ia
pan. These, with small cruisers, de-
stroyers and submarines, represent
the total increase since the war with
Russia.

The attempt 10 construct Dattie-
ships In Japan has proven, according
TO Captain Persius failure, due to
the deficiencies Of the japanese steet
works and the lack Of technically
trained worlSmon IN the yards. In
confirmation Of this Is cited the Jap
anoso minister of marine, who, In a
speech before parliament admitted
that the foreign-built ships were SUI
perlor to the Japanese-bult, and that
the government steel works were not
up 10 requirements,
Comparing the japanese and the
American fleets, he finds that Japan
has only thirteen battleships, with a
tonnage of 1S4,SOO, to oppose thirty
one American battleships OF isS,2OO

with six more American Dread
naughts under construction.
The financial weakness of Japan

James NJ Wilson from the cabinet

Three factors have had their effect

Lately, Secretary Wilson's derac-
