JAPANESE PLANNED
 10 INVADE THE J. 5.
Book Giving Detailed Plans for Land- ing Troops in the United States
 Being Translated.

NEW YORK, Oct. "A tremen- dous sensation has been created by the announcement that a Japanese book which is now being translated for American publishers, gives detail- ed plans for the invasion of the Uni ted States by Japanese armies in the event of hostilities. The author of the book has evidently spent years in the United States and is we'll posted on the coast defehses of this country.
 The Japanese consul ridicules the idea of the United States, and asserts that the author is one of the Japa- nese who was forced out of Califor- mia through the sentiment against his countrymen in that state, and had not received official recognition by the Japanese government.
 The translation of the book is be- ing made by syndicate of New York publishers and will be used as an ar gument by the advocates for prepar- edness for war by increasing the nav al and land forces as we'll as strength ening the coast defenses.
