acter to insure the early completion OIL
the program of construction"
The report touches briefly on many
activities OF the Navy department and
commends highly the new organiza-
ton and coordination that is being
effected by Admiral Benson, chief OF
operations. In addition to the report
Of the general board, full statement
by Admiral Benson is appended,
showing the rapid progress being
made in every line Of development.
The most disappointing feature OF the
year, according to the general board
and Admiral Benson, has been the
slow progress with development of
naval aircraft.
The board recommends a new
organization of the Aging service I'M
der directing officer in the office of
the chief OF operations. While ad-
hitting the slowness OF aeronautical
development, Admiral Benson ex-
presses the hope that a big machine
designed and built by the navy and
now under test may solve the prob
lens encountered.
The report shows that the navy
now has seventeen aeroplanes in
active service and that sixty more
have been ordered. In addition sew
eral French and British made ma
chimes have been ordered.
, Battleship Still Backbone.
In its brief review OF the European
war, the general board finds nothing
to warrant modification OF its previous
belief that the battleship is the back
bone of the sea power of a nation"
For this reason, the report adds, the
board has determined that the num-
Der, power and size of the guns to be
placed aboard new batleships should
be increased without sacrificing
armor, speed or cruising radius.
Larger ships must be built to contain
all these characteristics, the report
continues, and for the 1918 ships the
board has recommended "the most
powerful battery which it believes can
be constructed having due regard to
the present state OF the art OF build
ing heavy ordnance in this country"
It is shown that the batteries de-
cided upon to meet these requirements
will be twelve sixteen-inch, So
caliber guns for each ship. A test gun
is now being built.
Discussing enlistments in the navy,
Secretary Daniels shows that con-
gress has authorized an immediate in
crease OF 10000 men,, only 2,524 of
whom have been obtained.
Here again lie new and serious
problems" he says, more than or
binary methods must be used to per-
suade young men to decline countless
opportunities opening before them in
commercial life in favor of service
with the government. ..
Were it not for the gratifying re-
suits in enlistments already shown, as
a result of the policy OF the last few
years Of offering educational advan-
tages, particularly along technical
lines. to our recruits, ! would feel in
deed that the problem Of securing the
men authorized for our fleets was an
almost hopeless one. As it is / feel
sure it will be solved, but It is still a
problem and what desire in this
report is to warn the public against
considering that the mere passage of
laws authorizing additional men is
equivalent to having these men
actually on board our ships"

JAPAN SEEKS JAVA

Insolent Demand Made On Hol-
land by Japanese Pubhcist
Fans Dutch Suspicion.
SAYS AMERICA SATISFIED

Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. l9.
IF Japan gets Java and Sumatra
from Holland as present, the l00,-
900 emigrants in the United States
can be recalled, so that America will
also then be satisfied" declares the
Japanese ex-minister and publicist,
Yusaburo Takekoshi, in his latest con-
tribution to a well-known Japanese
review that has served once again to
fan Dutch suspicious regarding the
land of the rising sun. II therefore
think that country is in entire agree
ment with our policy" he adds.
The article is a plain, unvarnished
demand by this former minister Of
education that Japan shall take ad-
vantage Of the present favorable juno
ture to annex the Netherlands East
Indies. "If," he exclaims, things are
allowed to go on as they are going,
there is every chance that Japan will
get as good as nothing for the mobili-
zation of big army. | do not desire
that the government shall pursue a
quixotic. policy, but | do desire that
it shall Strike great blow to secure
the safety of the nation and increase
its influence, now that such a fine op-
portunity offers, an opportunity
which, if allowed to slip by, will not
recur in century"
If Germany Wins.
Should Germany prove victorious,
he argues. it will get the British and
French colonies, and Java and Sum-
atra will also fall into its hands; il
the war ends indecisively, Germany
will cede Alsace-Lorraine to France
in exchange for French possessions
like AMMAN and Tongking, in which

case the position OF Java and Sumat-
ra will be seriously threatened; while
if, on the other hand, the allies win,
Great Britain will turn egotist, and
in that case again the fate of those
islands will cause Japan much anxiety.
I'm view of these considerations"
reasons Yusaburo Takekoshi, 1T is
better for Japan to demand Java and
Sumatra from Holland now, for the
powers at present leave to Japan a
free hand to do nothing byt nurse its
friendship and good will" He further
urges the necessity of Japan, as an
industrial country, having more tropi-
cal territory whence in time of need
it can get its raw materials, and on
the other hand throws doubt on Hol-
