STRONGER NAVY
JAPAN’S POWERFUL FLEET.
(United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) Tokio, August 26. The Emperor reviewed at manoeuvres the strongest Fleet that ever saluted a Japanese ruler. The tonnage was 847,766, compared with 703,295 in 1930, and the aeroplanes numbered 180 compared with 72, but the Fleet can carry more. A striking feature of the increased strength is the first-class cruisers, which are longer in range and stronger in striking power, replacing the predominantly light cruiser fleet of 1927.'
