TOXIC, Japan. June 1.-The govern
ment's policy of military development
was approved by the house today in an
exciting session. By a vote Of 232 to
131 the house adopted the provision for
an increase in the standing army of
two divisions, or about "a 900 men, 1t
then approved the entire budget, in
Guiding the naval program, which pro-
vides for construction of three sub
marines and eight torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
The victory of the government was
emphatic. There was no such strong
opposition as appeared in the previous
diet which was dissolved by the en-
peror for rejecting the cabinets mill
tary program.
Development Favored.
Speeches of government and opposi-
ton leaders showed that all parties ia :
vored some form of military and naval
development. NJ. Inukai, leader Of the
kokuminto party, or the nationalists,
opposed the budget on the ground that
the increases to the army and navy
which it contemplated were insufficient
He declared the means of national de-
tense should be made stronger.
Speakers on behalf of the Seiyukai,
or liberals, based their opposition to
the budget on the assertion that there
should be perfected a more elaborate
system of national defense.

Ability to Communicate Through Wa
ter One Of Most Recent Impor-
tant Discoveries.

Several American battleships and
submarines are now equipped with X.

apparatus. This sends messages more
than thirty miles under water, and
the inventor expects that with expert

the apparatus as to make 1t send and

The apparatus starts a metal plate
vibrating sc rapidly that it sends
waves of sound through the water.
Sound travels through water four
times as rapidly as through air.
