Two New Divisions to Be Lo-
Gated in Korea-Five More
to Be Added Later
CBy Associated Press. J

T0KIO.-daying received authority
from the Diet, the government is al.
ready making preparations for the
creation Of two additional divisions in
the army. They will be located in
Korea, one at Seoul or Pingyang and
the ether at Ranan. This strengthen
ing OF the army. which has been a
thoTny political question for several
years. Is a great victory for the army
influences of which Marshal Prince
Yamagata is the head.
The announcement of Count Oku-
ma, the premier, and General Okla,
minister of war, that the increase was
but the beginning OF plan TO create
a military force of 25 divisions, has
concentrated attention here upon mill
tary expansion.
4ne plan to gradually augment the
army until il reaches % divisions was
really made 10 years ago and is sup
posed to have had the sanction of EN-
peror Mutsuhito. Just when the plan
was to be carried out was not fixed
but the recent announcement of the
ministers is interpreted to mean that
the work viii go forward The pres
ent Japanese army includes Is reg
ular divisions and one division of
household guards. A Japanese divi-
sion in peace time is 10000 men, so
that the standing army will soon be
100000 strong.
The pending increase mas been JUS
titled by Count Okuma on the ground
that the actual conditions in the
world do not permit japan to neglect
her defense program. On the other
hand, the expansion of japanese influ-
ence in Southern Manchuria and in
Eastern-Inner Mongolia which was en-
phasized by the recent treaties with
China, constitutes another justifica-
ton, from the Japanese standpoint, for
Strengthening the land forces.
Everybody realizes that the in
crease means an extra burden upon
the people, but no protest is heard.
The matter having been decided by
the Diet, is accepted by the people at
large as a necessary step in the de-
velopment of their country and as an
assurance that Japan may be able to
hold her place as victorious, first
class power in case of attack. More
over, the great war has aroused the
leaders Of Japanese thought to the
conviction. that Japan must be strong
If she would maintain her place in the
world and that her future in the Far
East does not permit any backward
step in military power or prowess.
The creation of two army divisions
win require the expenditure of about
100000 ven ($6,OOO,00O) from the
national treasury extended over seven

Meat Market Attached.

Albert Halpern, who recently pur- chased the Central Meat Market on West Main street from James Min iella, was salade the defendant in a suit brought yesterday by Attorney I. G.. Weeds sef New Britain for Etta BFunsehnew of New York, who seeks to- recover $1,500, an amount which she claims the butcher owes her. A Hartford creditor of Halpern's named Poletti has also brought an action, claiming damages of $100. and the defendants store was placed under att tachment yesterday afternoon, Dep uty Sheriff A. F. Marsh serving the papers.
 The suit of the New York woman is made returnable before superior court at the June term.
 Halpern recently transferred to Minello property which he owned in New Britain, in exchange for land and buildings on Whiting street and the stock and good will of the meat market.
 Johnson in Solomon's Role.
 First Selectman Johnson had a task requiring the wisdom of a Solo, man to perform this morning and as result of his judicious decision there will be two socials in the town hall this evening.
 MT. Johnson has to arbitrate dis agreement between Eugene Sweet, an elocutionist and musician, and T. A. Lyman. representing the grange, both of whom had hired the hall for tonight MT. Lyman made arrange nlents some time ago with John F. Conlon, the janitor to use the hall for . dance and Wednesday George S. Babcock, clerk of the board of select men. made a contract with Mir. Sweet | who subsequently, advertised a con- cert for Friday and Saturday nights.
 MT. Babcock has been accustomed to renting the hall and he was in ignorance of the contract the janitoU had made for the dance. He com ,nunicated with Selectman Johnson and as the latter was without know ledge of MT. Conlon's action arrange ments to rent the hall for the enter l tainment were made.
 This morning MT. Sweet refused to ] make any change in his plans unless ] the town reimbursed him for the ex- l penses he had already incurred in ad- | vertising his entertainment MT. | Lyman couldn't see how he could l call off the dance at this late date.
 Selectman Johnson settled the ar gument by notifying Mr. Sweet that Z he could have the hall until 9:3o the dancers getting the use of it after that time. This arrangement was appar- ently satisfactory to both parties. Mir Lyman acquiescing after the select man ruled that the dancers would not be charged for using the building on account of the mistake.
