JAPAN INCREASING ARMY.
Plans Under Way For Creation Of Two
New Divisions.


Correspondence Of Associated Press.l
Toxic. June 11.-Having received
authority from the Diet. the governs
ment Is already 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 other at Ranan.
This strengthening of the army, which
has been q thorny political question
for several years, is q great victory for
the army influences Of which Marshall
Prince Yamagata is the head. The an
nouncement by Count Okuma, the
premier. and general Okla, minister Of
war, that the increase was but the
beginning Of plan to create mill
tary force Of twenty five divisions, has
concentrated attention here upon mill
tary expansion.
The plan to gradually augment the
army until it reaches twenty FIVE
divisions was really made ten years ago
and is supposed to have had the sane
ton of Emperor Mutsuhito. Just
when the plan was to be carried out
was not fixed but the recent announce
ment OF the ministers is interpreted to
mean that the work will go forward
The present Japanese army included
eighteen regular divisions and one
division Of household guards.
The pending increase has been
justified by Count Okuma on the
ground that the actual conditions in
the world do not permit Japan to neg
lect her defense program. On the
other hand, the expansion OF Japanese
influence in Southern Manchuria and
in Eastern Inner Mongolia which was
emphasized by the recent treaties with
China, constitutes another 1ustihca-
ton, from the Japanese standpoint. for
strengthening the land forces.
Everybody realizes that the increase
means an extra burden upon the people
but no protest is heard. The matter
having been decided by the Diet, is ac-
copied by the people at large as a
necessary step in tie development OF
their country and as an assurance
that Japan may be able to hold her
place as victorious. frst-class power
in case OF attack. Moreover. the great
war has aroused the leaders OF Jap
anese thought to the conviction that
Japan must be strong II she would
maintain her place in the world and
that that her future in the far east
does not permit any backward step in
military power or prowess.
The creation of two army divisions
will require the expenditure of about
-. 600. 900 yen (s6,o0o,o0o) from the
national treasury extended over seven
years and beginning with the expendl-
ture of 477.00o yen in the current year
The yearly outlay will increase until
It becomes 100000 yen in 1918. Then
it falls until in 1921 it reaches 402,o
yen.
In addition. the sum Of about 10000
900 yen will be required to maintain
the two divisions pending the COM
pletion Of their organization. The
amounts to be disbursed range from
241,OoO yen in 1915 to 100000 yen IN
1921. After 1921 the amount required
for the maintenance OF the divisions
is estimated at about 100000 yen a
year.
Governor General Terauchi has al
ways considered the extra forces neces-
sary for the safety of the country and
1t is largely thru his perseverance, that
the present expansion has been brought
about

ne mining company decided that 1t
was worth the expense of pumping
the lake dry. The pumping opera
tion was unusual. 1t required four
big centrifugal pumps, which were
placed on scows foated on the surface
OF the lake. These pumps were large
enough to permit the passage of solid
matter up to four inches In diameter.
The water was conveyed through
pipes to another lake about half a
mile away. The pumping operations
required 38 working days of ten hours
each, with the pumps bringing up wa

acres and contained more than 4,00O,-
