NAVAL BUDGET
 ESTIMATES OF
 JAPAN ARE CUT
Maintenance Cost Is Down to Minimum to Provide
 Building Program. E.;

TOKYO, July 27.-The naval esti- mate calling for the expenditure of 50O,OO0,O0O yen (nominally about $25O, O,O00,0O0) for the fiscal year 1922 B, is smaller than it would have been if Admiral Baron Kato, Minister of Marine, had not insisted upon economy in the cost of maintenance, says the Nichi Nichi.
 This estimate is about equal to the naval appropriations made for the current year.
 It is hoped, by cutting down the cost of the navy's ordinary expenses, to leave available about 275,OO0,OOO yen for continuing the program of constructing eight battleships and eight cruisers. This would be equal to the amount spent on construction this year. e,
 The Minister of Marine apparently is determined that nothing shall in terfere with the progress of the building program.
 The following principles of econ omy have been decided upon, accord. ing to the Nichi Nichi
 First, there shall be economy in personnel. There are too many high ranking officers in the Japanese navy compared with the navies of other powers. Great Britain has 12 ad mirals and 22 vice-admirals, while Japan has 15 admirals and 26 vice admirals. Britain has 120, 0,000 men in service and Japan S0,000.
 Maintenance costs are to be cut by reducing the number and size of the standing squadrons. Only one such squadron will be left. The Third s squadron will be reduced ir size and placed on special duties The remaining vessels are to be an chored as the fourth fleet. in re serve. The number of men on such vessels will be drastically reduced Fuel consumption will be cut to the lowest possible figure.
 The system of allowing men ir service to return home before thei, time of service has expired will bs greatly extended. In this way con siderable amount of food and cloth ing can be saved.
 Obsolete vessels will be disposed
 By exercising economy along these lines. the navy expects to cut dowr the ordinary expenditures to l5O, GOO 900 yen. This would leave 2 margin for special expenses.

 Bank Only on Paper

 The Grant Park Bank went out O. existence last January when a new state bank law went into effect.
 'Tf the bank. at the time the loan. were made. was a legitimate institu tion, why was such an obscure es tablishment selected as the deposi tory for such a huge sum as $10, COG, 900, and if the then treasurer Len Small, was serving the interests of the people, why did the none, earn only per cent for the state although 1t was secured by note bearing and 8 per cent" Attorne.

The decorations consisted of lights.

These were 10 symbolic flashes Of

the animals represented sacrifices.
Christmas was not among the early

according To the historians Of the
church, and December - was not the
day on which il was universally cele-
brated. II was not until the Fourth
or Fifth centuries HAT the celebration
of the festival on this day spread to
