JAPAN AND THE PACIFIC
STRENGTHENING NAVAL AND AIR SERVICES Press Association-By Telegraph-Copyright. PARIS. April 16. M. Hubert, an ex-Munster, for the Colonies, writing in ‘La Revue,’ says that Japan’s military organisation was perfect last October, though she has since reduced every battalion by a company. The number of machine guns has been increased, Japan’s light ship programme will give her supremacy in the Pacific within three years. The Yokohama arsenal, which was destroyed by the oarthrmake, is being reconstructed most rapidly. Aviation is making great progress, and the naval air service possesses at least 500 machines. An intensive propaganda is being conducted in favor of the development of aviation, and a Chair of Aviation has been created at Tokio University.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
