JAPANESE: BUILD POWERFUL
 VESSEL

TOXIC, July 26. - It is reported that guns of 15-inch calibre may be mounted on a superdreadnough which has been ordered by the navy depart ment, and will be laid down in the Japanese naval yard at Kure. This shin was authorized at the last ses- sion of the Diet, and she will be the largest battleship in the Japanese navy. She will be called the Nagato, after one of the provinces in southern Japan.
 Although the official figures have not been announced, it is said the warship will have a displacement Of 32,0OO tons, and a speed of "A knots. The displacement exceeds by 1,4OO tons that of the dreadnought Yama- shiro, which was launched at Yoko- suka last November. The Yamashiro is about the same size as the United States superdreadnought Pennsyl- vania.
 If the announced figures prove exact the Nagato will be bigger than the celebrated Queen Elizabeth, of the British navy, more speedy than the Yamashiro by two knots and faster than the Pennsylvania by three knots, aIthoueh she could be outdistanced by the Queen Elizabeth. A feature or the proposed ship will be improved equip ment for defense against torpedoes'
 The question of main armament seems not yet decided. It IS under stood that the navy favors l5-lhch puns. but guns of this size have never baen made in Japan, and it is likely that they would have to be imported from England It is doubtful if Eng land could turn them out during the war.
 The department has likewise ar ranged for the construction of two second class cruisers, each of 3,5OU tons, to be called Tenryu and Tatsuta One will be laid down at Yokosuka and the other at Saseho. A large type destroyer of HOO tons will be built at Maizuru.
 The latest addition to the Japanese navy is a new and powerful submarine boat. which was built in France, and which recently arrived at the kure naval station. Submerged, the boa can reach a speed of over eighteen knots. Her displacement is 600 tons and she is the largest submarine il the Japanese navy.
 The order, placed with the Frenci navy yard in 1914, called for two boat' of the same type and dimensions Du me of them was sold to France at th' outbreak of the war in compliance with the special request Of the frenci navy The submarine was brough here on board French steameN
