The Japanese delegation to the con-
ference on Limitation Of armament
boasts two distinguished men by the
name Of Kato. Admiral Baron Tomo-
saburo Kato is the head of the jap
anese delegation. He is also the min
lister Of the navy in Japan. Vice Ad-
miral H. Kato accompanies the dele
cation as its chief naval adviser and
it Is he who is serving on the COM
mittee Of naval experts. Of which AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy Roose-
welt is chairman. which is now at
work on the details of the plan for
the limitation of naval armament.
Vice Admiral kato is no relation to
Admiral Baron kato. Both served
with distinction in the Japanese navy
during the Russo-Japanese war.
Owing to the similarity of names.
the photograph of Baron kato was re-
produced in The Star as Japan's men,
ber of the committee of naval experts,
instead of Vice Admiral Kato.

DISCUSSED IN COMMITTEE
Navy Race Accelerated by
Strength of Army Issue-Data

L. BY JUNIUS b. WOOD.
BY JUNIUS b. WOOD.

Land armament is slated to make
q sudden appearance before the con-
ference on almost any day. The spe-
cial committee which is considering
the American proposal on naval dis
armament and the counter modifica-
tiOns of the other powers has been
sitting for two days and discovering
new ramifications of the important
subject with every speaker. Land
armament is a phase of the Pacific
and far eastern questions, and it is
also phase of the limitation Of naval
armameRt.
The British delegation has let it be
known that they consider it quite
obvious that the navieS of other
powers than theirs, Japan and the
United States must be pared down or
restricted in any agreement on naval
armament. 1t is equally obvious that
for the insular United Kingdom the
land armament of nations on the Eu-
ropean continent. especially France,
among. those now present, must be
taken into consideration in determin-
ing Great Britain's naval necessities.
sremier BRAND has frankly an
nounced in open meeting that France
invites discussion OF land armament
and has repeatedly denied privately
that his nations army is excessively
large.
Army Statistics Prepared.
/ Each of the army staffs sitting in
the conference has prepared figures
showing the strength of the five
powers, and there is not much varia-
tiOn. In these tabulations separate
totals are given for the army in active
service and for the strength in trained
reserves which could be called to the
colors in time of emergency. They
also show the number of inhabitants
per soldier and the proportion of ma
figures which will be submitted to the
, committee when the subject is taken
up:

Though China does not figure in the
tabulation, she is credited with hav-
ing the largest army, possibly better
defined as ''men under arms.'' of any
tiles say she has 100000 men In her
various armies, a ratio of one soldier
to every 24S.1 of population, or one
soldier to each $3S.642 Of national
wealth. China is not listed as having
any additional trained reserve. Every
body that wants to carry a weapon is
fighting now and a goodly proportion
of them are not even trained. The
French figures include colonials.
Navy VS.. Army.
AS the naval race goes around ir a
circle, the land ornaments accelerate
it. If France has large army it
is logical that Great Britain shall
have a large navy for her defense.
Japan uses the same line of argu-
ment for navy to protect herself
no suggestion of any possibility of
either navy being required 10 protect
its island kingdom from the main
land, history tells that such invasio.s
have occurred in the past, and in the
delicate adjustments of armaments
nations consider it wise precaution
to keep the power balanced.
The United States also is brought
into the race as one os the causes.
The explanation made is that in case
of trouble between the United states
and Japan necessary military move
of the latter will be to throw her
army across the Japan sea TO prevent
China or Siberia joining in the fight
while her navy is busy in the Pacific.
