Bretz to File Voluntary
Bankruptcy Petition Soon

Attorneys for creditors of Harry
NJ. Brett, the lawyer who is charged
with embeZzlement, announced that
they had reached an agreement with
him that he should file petition in
voluntary bankruptcy, probably late
this afternoon. 1t was said a few
days ago that the attorneys probably
would not accept Bretz's offer to ap-
point a trustee and would use their
claims in an involuntary bankruptcy
proceeding. The agreement made
to-day, however, relieves them from
taking such action.

FRANCO BRITISH
GAINS MENACING
FOE s POSITION
Ludendorff's Plan to Fall Back
to the Old Hindenburg Line.
Has Been ForeStaIIed by the
Allies Advance,

Paris, Aug. 2S.-The British and
French gains are placing the Germans
In a precarious position and II is be-
lieved here have forestalled the plan
OF General Luaendorff to fall back on
the old Flindenlsnrg line Tie fall o1
Rove to the troops OF General Dc
Beney undoubtedly will hasten the
German retirement between the
Somme and the Oise. Equally men
acing to the Germans are the BRUSH
gains toward Combles and along the
Scarpc.
The German command apparently
planned to pivot the retiring move
ment to the line east OF Arras, with
the divisions south of it marching
back TO the old German line. such a
plan would be difficult TO carry out
under the most favorable eireum-
stances,
The British onslaught on Bapaume
added to the difficulties of carrying
out this plan and the extension of the
battle line to the Scarpe made things
much worse. This is because the
British struck at the hinge By attack
ing ana breaking through from Cav
relle and Croslles.
That is why the Germans are max
ing such a determined resistance and
also why they are reacting so furious
ly az TIE other end of the limo be-
tween Ailette and the Aisne. If the
enemy cannot prevent General Mangin
from advancing toward the Soissons-
Coucy road the entire German sevonth
army on the Vesle will be put in
jeopardy 1t also is essential for him
to keep General Mangin away from
the Disc because II he should retire
from Noyon to the Hindenburg line
between Chauny and La Fere, he
would be Obliged to march along the
Disc under the fire of the French
guns or make a long detour by way
of Guseard.
Each day aeeentuates the German
defeat and adds to their losses in men

Is the allies have taken well over
100, 900 prisoners. The guns captured
have numbered more than 1000 and
there also have been taken vast stores
of ammunition. The British troops

to Marcel Hutin, in the Echo De Paris
alone took $4,000 prisoners and 46t
guns. The British casualties in this

JAPAN PLANNING
To INCREASE HER
FIGHTING FORCES
Army to Be Boosted 90 Per
Cent Number of Dread
noughtS and Battle Cruisers
viii Be TrebIed, Report,
tnr aoHnlna Iousp.l srtel.L lsAsso w,srl

Toxic, Aug. 2S--Japan has made
preliminary plans To increase her
army by so per cent ana TO build
three times the number Of dread
nonghts and battle-crusers previously
planned.
No official announcement has been
made, but il is understood that the
project adopted at recent confer
ence of field marshals and fleet ad
mirals includes the creation of an
army of twenty-one corps, or forty
two divisions and the enlargement Of
the navy so that II will eventually in
clude three main fleets, each TO con-
sist Of eight dreadnoughts and eight
battle cruisers. Each of the new
army divisions will be composed of
three regiments, instead of four. as at
present.
Years will be required to develop
the army and navy to the desires
strength, but a beginning Will be made
as soon as conditions, especially finan-
cial conditions. will permit.
Under the new military program,
Japan Mould have 126 regiments, as
against the present eighty-four, there
being now in existence twenty
divisions each of four regiments. An
increase of forty-two regiments Is pro-
vided for
OF this increase, four new divisions
are covered by the army program laid
down in 1906 when il was decided TO
increase the number of divisions to
twenty-five. or to a total strength OF
100 regiments. This program has not
vet been carried into effect. Writers
on military matters estimate that this
new plan contcmplates an eventual
enlargement of the Japanese army by
so per cent above its present strength
with d corresponding enlargement of
the reserves due to the great numbers
passed through the service each year.
Many think the expansion VIII be easy
fro mthe standpoint of man-poWer,
The naval program adopted at the
last session of the diet was to fill out
a fleet Of eight dreadnoughts and six
battle cruisers. The new naval pro-
posals therefore means that Japan
plans to build two squadrons each to
he composed of eight dreadnoughts
and eight battle cruisers, and two adj
dtional cruisers to fill out the pres
ent battle cruiser fleet In other
words the construction project calls
for sixteen additional dreadnoughts
and eighteen more battle cruisers.
The estimated expenditure involved
is large. That for the army Is placed
at about $ST, 900, and that of the
navy at about $40. 100000. II is prob
able that the actual costs would be
much higher as the estimates men,
toned above are based upon figures
worked out before the war when
prices were lower.
