RENEWAL IN INDUSTRY BUILDING BOOM SHOWS

SPRINGFIELD, H., Sept. 28. - Building operations all over the State of Illinois are booming, according to George B. Arnold, director of the State Department of Labor
 Arnold bases his statement on a statistical survey of building, en- ployment and general business con- ditions in the Prairie State. From Chicago down to the small towns a renewal of work has been shown in the last two months, the director declared.
 "There is plenty of work in Chi cago, and workers are anxious to be employed there" Arnold said. "Pe- ora so far this year has had as much building completed as was completed in 1921. Rockford reports activity in all lines.
 Even wage increases have been given at Decatur At Bloomington, Moline, Rock Island and East Mo- line more men could be placed than are available"
 At Aurora large mills have re- opened after a shutdown.
 The improvements leading to the industrial revival in the State came in the face of strikes and other ob- structions, the director declared but when settlement of such controver- sies arrives a record breaking bus mess era is expected.
 When industrial dissension is obviated among the workers Illinois is bound to take the lead over in dustrial States in a prosperity that has never before been reached" the director forecast.

JAPAN'S CUT REAL IN ARMS BUDGET

TOKYO, Sept. 2S. - There appears to be real intent on the part of Japan to retrench naval and military expenditures. The budgets for the two departments for the fiscal year 1923-24, made during the Washington conference, has been announced show ing a combined reduction of approXi- mately 575O0,O0O for the two from the present fiscal year. Other econ omies are slated by Premier Kato, and it is believed that some will be car red out during the next year, but it will be the year 1924-25 before the real financial results of the Washing ton conference and of any subsequent reductions will be apparent in Japan.
 The naval budget for the next year shows a reduction of $37 ,500,000, con- verting yen into American dollars. Ordinary expenses are listed at $6O.- 100000, reduction of $7,5OO,OOO, and extraordinary expenses are listed at S99 900, ,OOO, a reduction of $30 100000. In the army budget ordinary expenses are figured at $92,5OO,000, a reduc- tion of $6,950,O0O, and the extraordi- nary figure is $16,5Oo,OOO, reduction of s12,95O,OOO.
 This means that instead of as in the past year when 49 per cent of the national income went into the military coffers only 39 per cent-two-fifths-- of the national income will be devoted 70 the navy and army in the next fiscal year.
