 TOKIO,-Japan has made prelim- in2ry plans to increase her army by fifty percent and to build three times the number of dreadnaughts and battle crusisers previously planned.
 No official announcement has been U.ade but. it is understood that the project includes the creation of an army of 21 corps, or 42 divisions and the enlargement of the navy so that 1t will eventually include three main fleets of eight dreadnaughts and eight battle- cruisers.
 The new army divisions will be composed of three regiments, instead of four as at present.
 Under the new program, Japan would have l2s regiments, as against the present s4. there being now in existence 2l divisions. each of four regiments. An increase of 42 re. g!ments is provided for.
 Writers on military matters esu- mate that the new plan contemplates an eventual enlargement of the Jap aIiese army by fifty percent above It's present strength with a corras- bonding enlargement of the reserves due to the great numbers passed through the service each year.
 The new naval plan means that Japan plans to build two squadrons, each composed of eight dreadnaughts and eight battle-cruisers, and two additional cruisers t. fill out tho present battle cruiser fleet. In other words the construction project calls for sixteen additional dreadnaughts and eighteen more battle-cruisers.

HUNT MAY AID RED CROSS

Information received from Phoenix strengthens the
belief that Governor Hunt has decided to give to the Red
Cross society the of $412225 which was turned
his attorneys by the Campbell counsel the order of
the state court It has been pointed that this
sum raised by subscription of the supporters Of Mr.
Campbell throughout the state dis fund that should
be apporoned among the various counties as part their
quota in the next dvethat is if the governor really is
in earnest about giving the amount to the society
1t is said that all the expenses incurred by the gov
in the contest covered by collections made
from the workngmen of Arizona, and this included the
amount that the friends Of Mr.. Campbell raised IF this
information is correct it probably accounts for the gov
elmors willingness to turn to the Red Cross it
is pure ''vevet matters stand now Governor Hunt
received pay for the time that Mr. Campbell serving
as de faco governor and far known incurred no

THE SOONER THE BETTER.

Economy, thrift and frugality must
be practiced in the United States
sooner or later, and the sooner the
better, if disaster is to be averted.
eff need be, we will wreck the bust
ness of luxury for the time being"
said Mr. Vanderlip, in his speech at
the Boston City Club. 1--WE are fac
ing danger that threatens the very
foundation of our society. I am con-
WINGED that this danger is the most
real and serious one that we have
ever faced. We are going to fac it.
Get this lesson we'll fixed in your
minds. The dollar always employs
labor; if it falls into the wrong pan
of the scale, it threatens our success
in this war. Remember, it is a
traitor dollar, a close ally of the en-
envy, if we spend it for the wrong
thing"
The United States is engaged, with
it's allies in a war that can be ended
only by victory, if it is to be ended
rightly and finally. The winning of
that war, therefore, overtops every
thing else in Importance. Success at
the front is of far greater moment
than success in business, in profess
sional occupations, in any common
walk of life. Nothing within the hui
man domain, nothing in human pro
duction, nothing of learning or of
skill, nothing that makes for enter
tainment or for comfort, especially
nothing for the satisfaction of pam
pered appetites, must take precedence
over the success of the war.
When the frivolities, the comforts
and the luXuries are thought of as
things that must be provided at the
cost of labor needed for the prose
cution of the war, the thing for the
reasoning man or woman to do is to
let thought rest upon those in the
devastated regions of the earth, upon
those in prison camps, and upon
those in the trenches, where the bare
necessities of existence count as I'M
speakable blessings.-Christian Sci
ence Monitor.
