you know, are as smart as jackets

Again San Diego was enthusiastic !:
and thus by an odd trick of these war
times, the most peaceful, dreamy city
in America has become a military
pageant.
Before the war San Diego was re-

and flowers; for old Spanish archi-

day 1t stands at attention in olive drab.
Its population has been doubled by
uniformed men and 1t has more war
activities than any city of its size in
the country.
A Mixture of Races.
It's wave-lulled quiet is broken by
the rhythm of marching feet. the mu-
sic of military bands. the clatter of
hoofs and the aerial chug-chug of mo-
tors. A S1O,OOO,0OO ship building

slip often into the azure harbor and

To the government coaling station
come strange vessels flying foreign
flags. Sometimes n Japanese ship
drops anchor and groups of polite lit

the streets.
Into the qrletest life the thrill of

Indebtedness Weighed Heavily.
At the beginning of 1884. ten years
after the declaration of independence
the indebtedness of the national gov
eminent was $39.323.8S6. This was
divided as follows: Foreign. $685.
$50; Domestic loan certificate, Sill.
$4,000; Unliquidated certificates OF
indebtedness, $16,70s.ooo; Arrears OF
interest on domestic debt, $3,109,O0O
These figures are trivial as compared
to those representing the war debt OF
today, but this Indebtedness weighed
far more heavily upon the people OF
that time than the tremendous expen-
diture fthe present does upon the
American public today.
1t was no small matter for the colo
malls and their descendants to so
shape the machinery of the govern.
ment that results could be obtained
smoothly and efficiently. There were
many ups and downs, successes and
failures, but the foundation laid in
those trying times is the foundation
upon which the American financial
system rests at the present time, and
it Is because of the solidity OF that
foundation that the United States mas

JAPAN MILITARY
! PROGRAM WILL
DOUBLE FORCES
Increase of AZ Regiments is
Provided for-Will Add to
Naval Force.
(By Associated Press)

2 TOXIC, Aug. 29.--Japan 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 previously
planned.
No Official announcement has been
made, but It is understood that the
project adopted at a recent confer
ence Of feld-marshals and feet admir-
ais. includes the creation OF an army
Of 81 corps, or AZ divisions and the
enlargement Of the navy so that 1t will
eventually include three main fleets,
each to consist of eight dreadnoughts
and eight battle-cruisers. Each of the
new army divisions will be composed
Of three regiment, instead Of four as
at present.
Years will be required to develop
the army ard navy to the desired
strength, but beginning will be made
as soon as conditions especially finan-
cial conditions, will permit.
Under the new military program,
Japan would have 126 regiments, as
against the present "a, there being
now in existence 81 divisions, each Of
four regiments. An Increase or AZ
regiments is provided for.
Expenditure to be Large.
or this increase, four new divisions
are covered by the army program laid
down In 1906, when 1t was decided
to increase the number of divisions
to %, or to total strength OF 100
regiments. This program has not yet
been carried into effect. Writers on
military matters estimate that the
new plan ccntemplates an eventual
enlargement Of the Japanese army by
fifty per cent. above its present
strength with a correspondent enlarg
ment 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
feet of eight dreadnoughts and six
battle-cruisers. The new naval pro
posal, therefore, means that Japan
plans to build two squadrons each tc
be composed of eight dreadnoughts
and eight battle-cruisers, and two adj
ditional cruisers to fill out the present
battle-cruiser feet. In other words
the construction project calls for six
teen additional dreadnoughts and
eighteen more battle-cruisers.
The estimated expenditure involved
Is large. That for the army is placed
at about $87.150,000, and that Of the
navy at about $540,000,000. 1t is prob
able that the actual costs would bt
much righer as the estimates men
toned above are based upon figure!
