This pessimistic view of marriage
doubtless was a case of "sour grapes"
Count Tolstoy was an idealist, at
times a visionary dreamer, while the
Countess vas intensely practical. Be-
tween people of such warning natures
there-could only be, at best, an armed

AlTpIane Squadron Put Out
Of Business Big German Gun

lA6SOct0f6d PTBa8 C0fre6poHdSHce.)
BEHIND THE BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE. July ss-A British-Ameri-
can airplane squadron In a certain
section OF the front In Northern
France won the everlasting gratitude
of the civilian population of q little
market town in the mining district
this week by putting out of action n
big German gun which>had started in
to make life miserable for the local
Inhabitants.
The gun opened up very suddenly
one market day. at IN hour when the
streets were at their busiest. With
out warning about noon. there was the
crash of a terrific explosion In the cen
trail square, which by tho was was
located more than eight miles behind
the front line. Other explosions fol-
walls of ten minutes. The death-deal-
er was a high-velocity fifteen inch gun
of the naval type. 1t was using shrap-
mel and casualties among troops and
civilians were numerous.
The 81 of locating the gun was
handed W. to the nearby British
American airpiane squadron with GER
Within a few hours the tack was duly
accomplished and photographs were
brought in which showed the position
plainly.
Unfortunately the job of putting
the big gun out of action was not so
simple. Its position was too far back
to be reached by the ordinary counter
battery guns and howitzers, and II
happened that there were no long
range guns in the area capable of
dealing with 1t. To bring such guns
from another part of the lines would
mean considerable delay and speed
was vital.
1t was therefore decided that the
big must be bombed from air.
plane. And well bombed 1t was, that
very day. by the same squadron
which had located 1t. Bombs varying
all the way from 20 pounds to ia
pounds each descended upon and
around the empIacements. The salts
factory results were testified by the
fact that no more 15-inch shells have
disturbed the market place.

JAP PLANNING
ARMY INCREASE
win Add 81 Army Corps and
Build Big Fleet of BattIeShips
Result of Recent Conference

(A~ssoctdted Press CoT~TespoHdence-D
TOXIC, July 25:7Japan has made
preliminary plans to increase her
army by fifty per cent. and to build
three times the number of dread
noughts and battle-cruisers previous
~ planned.
No official announcement mas been
made but 1t Is understood that the
project adopted at a recent confer
ence Of field marshals N fleet adj
mirals includes the creation of an
army of twenty-one corps. or forty
two divisions and the enlargement of
the navy so that 1t will eventually In
clude three main fleets. each to con-
sist of eight dreadnoughts and eight
battie-cruisers. Each OF n 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 h desired
strength, but a beginning will be
made as soon as conditions, especial
lly financial conditions, will permit.
Under the new military program
Japan would have 126 regiments. as
against the present e~ighty-four, there
being now in existence twenty-one
divisions, each of four regiments An
increase of forty-two regiments Is
provided for.
OF this increase four new divisions
| are covered by the army program
laid down in 1906 when 1t was decid-
ed 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. Writ
! ers on military matters estimate that
the new plan contemplates an event.
Iuel enlargement of the Japanese
army by fifty per cent above its pres
| emf trength with a corresponding
| enlargement of the reserves u to
the great numbers passed through
the service each cal Many think
the expansion will be easy from the
standpoint of man-power.
The naval program adopted at the
last session of the Diet was to fll out
a feet of eight dreadnoughts and slx
battle cruisers. The new naval pro-
Iposa1 therefore means hat japan
| plans to build two squadrons each 70
be composed OF eight dreadnoughts
and eight battle-cruisers, and two adj
ditional cruisers to I'LL out the pres
ient battle-cruiser feet. 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 ss7, $50, 900. and that of the
navy at about $4,000, 00o. 1t is
probable that the actual costs would
lbe much higher as the estimates
mentioned above are based upon fig
ures worked out before the war when
prices were lower.
