France and Russia Favor Jap Army

TOXIC, Dec 28.-The project Of
sending a Japanese army to Europe
is gathering force in Japan. 1t is
understood that France and Russia
favor the idea, but that Great Britain
hesitates to call upon her ally to go
to Europe.
1t is estimated that an army of 300,-
900 (the number under consideration
would cost $1,50O,000 daily. A fleet of
transports would go by way of the
Suez canal and in addition to an equip
ment of arms it would have to convey
food for many months, including vast
quantities of rice The idea is that
the expenses would be covered by
European loan.
