JAPAN LAUNCHES
GREAT M|L|T AIRY
EXPANSION PLAN
CBy Associated Press)

Toxic, Aug. 29.-Japan has made
preliminary plans to increase her ar
nv 80 per cent and to build three
times the number of dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers previously planned.
No official announcement has been
made but it is understood that the
project adopted 1T a recent confer
ence of field marshals and fleet ad-
mirals includes the creation of an
army of II corps, or AZ divisions, ana
the enlargement of the navy so that
it will eventually include three main
fleets, each to consist of eight dread
noughts and eight battle cruisers.
Each Of the new army divisions VIII
be composed Of three regiments, IN
stead of four as AZ present.
Years will be required to develop
the army and navy to the desired
strength, but beginning will be
made as soon as conditions, especially
financial conditions, will permit.
Under the new military program
Japan would have 1876 regiments, as
against the present 84, there beng
now in existence u divisions, each OF
four regiments. An increase of AZ
regiments is provided for.
Of this increase, four new dlVls-
ions are covered by the army pro-
gram laid down in 1906, when 1t was
decided to increase the number OF dl-
visions to %, or to total strength
of 100 regiments This program has
not yet been carried into effect, Writ
ers on military matters estimate that
the new rlan contemplates an eventual
enlargement Of the Japanese army by
50 per cent over its present strength,
kith a corresponding enlargement OF
the reserves due to the great numbers
passed through the service each year.
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 fill out
fleet of eight dreadnaughts and SIX
battle cruisers. The new naval pro-
posal therefore means that Japan
plans to build two squadrons each to
be composed of eight dreadnoughts
and eight battle cruisers, and two
