JAPANESE BUDGET
 SHOWS BIG INCREASES
One. Hundred Million Dollars More to Be spent on Alii-
 tarN.

Tokio, Feb ' 13-~1'he Japanese budget for the next fiscal year amounts to the equivalent of about $631, ,972.011. An increase equivalent to about $10O.000,0OO is asked by the army and navy.
 The minister of finances has stated that it is highly important to strengthen the national defense in or der that peace may be preserved and the mechanism of communication de veloped. Substantial increases are also called for in the departm ents of edu- cation and unication.
 Referring to the naval expenditure il was explained that, in the eXtraor- dinary expenditures of the navy, esti mates have been included for the completion Of the so-called "cight and eight squadron" (EiGht dreadn oughts and eight battle cruisers.) The pro posed naval scheme will cost about $375, ,915,000 of which $40,000,000 ap- pears in the budget for the coming year.
 It is proposed to begin the con- Struction Of the following warShipS: Tour battleships, four battle cruisers, twelve cruisers. thirty-seven destroy CTS, five boats. twelve special service ships. six mine sweepers and some submarines.
 The increased expenditure will be met principally by heavier income tax which will advance over that of last year. by approximately $S9,000,0 900. The tax on Sake, the Japanese na- tonal drink which is made from rice. also will be increased.
 The shortage in the revenue will be made good by the temporary sus- pension of the redemption of the do- mcstic national loan.

MINES NOT RENTING FROM EFFECTS OF WAR
Improbable That Coal Will Be Ex- tractcd From Veins At Lens
 Before 1921

Paris, Feb. 13.-Although all pos sible efforts to reconstruct the war shattered mines of Lens have been and are being made. there is now no hope that a single ton 'of coal will be extracted before 1921. In fact the task of bringing, bacll Lens to it's for mer prosperity is so immense that it is not expected that the town and it's mines will return to anything like their former state before 1928 or 1928
 Provided that the work can be car ried on without interruption, it will take all 1920 to clear the under ground workings of the debris with which they were choied by the Ger mans. Most of the workings, and all the deeper ones, are flooded.
 A plan for drawing off the water has been arranged. The reconstruc- ton and repair of the tubbing will he carried out by German workmen. and the cement for the purpose will be brought from Germany. punpinS z out of the mines is expected to take at least three years. It is hoped that hy next year it will bc possible 10 cN- ract coal from tn first galleries, which are only 500 feet deep but it is not expected that the water wilt be pumped out of the lower workings. which run down to 2,250 yards. until 1923 or even 1924.
 The railways in the Lens district will not be completely repaired till 1921. Of the 500 worllmen's dwell ings belonging to the Miners society, not a hundred can be repaired. Four hundred concrete huts are to be built in which it is hoped tO house the 1000 workers who will be employed in the clearing of the pits for the next two or three years.
