Toxic. Oct 6.-Fears that the
double-eight battleship programme
of Japan would be seriously held
up by the recent stockyards strikes
of Kobe have been dispelled by u
recent semi-official statement of the
government. Toxic was warned
when the strikes were at their
worst that the Alitsubishi and Kaw-

The strikes were not settled i'm

Officials Of the companies concern
ed We're persuaded to give the
naval orders precedence over ali
others if need be, thus making pos
sible the completion of the ships
building there on schedule time.
OF the five battlesbips and five
battle cruisers now building, the
battleships Mutsu and Tosa, both
Iof them under construction ut the
Yokosuke Naval Yards, will be
ready for launching in December.
The Mutsu is 33.S00-ton ship,
while the Tosa is $4,000 tonner.
The Kaga, sister ship of the Tosa,
has been building at the KaWa-
saki yards, in Kobe, and was con-
sequently in danger during the
strikes at that yard. But the kaga,

in November. The cruisers Takoa
and Atago are both to be started
in January, These vessels will be

During the bombing attacks on

Efforts to Belittle States
Name Are Discovered
Work of Arkansas Ad-
varcement Association.

Again the shadow of the Hol-
ford bonds stalks across the Arkan-
saS horizon. A New York broker
has circularized Arkansas with an
offer to sell bonds issued by this
state to aid levee and railroad
building, at the bargain price of
S5 for $1,000 worth of bonds The
broker informs his prospective clients
that these bonds were due in 1901
and that the interest and principle
is unpaid and repudiated I'm the
opinion OF certain comeetent, III
nancial and investment authorities,
these bonds are lawful obligation

ters. Holders Of these bonds may
not bring suit as the law does not
recognize the rights of individuals

be day of settlement. Buyers of
these bonds at the extremely low
price may await the reckoning with
cOmplacency." The issuance of such
a circular at a time when the Ark

propaganda to further belittle Ark

law, national banks are not permitted
TO establish branches. Some Of the
big national institutions in New York
and Chicago want permission to open
branches 50 that they may expand TO
all parts Of the country. While state
banks have the right to open branches
