Figures Show That

Great Gain Since The War-“Finam ‘

ciers Are Hesitating

About ‘Law _

TOKI(-),Mnrch I4-Sonic reliable fig-

ures are now on hand showing the present strength of the Japanese navy as coniparcd with its strength when the war.hroke out. The totals may he briefly stated, viz_:

One hundred and fifty-seven vessels

of all descriptions, representing a tonnage of 283,742 tons before the war and 204 vessels and 515,0B2_tons at the present day.

Further scrutiny of the figures

shows that Japan ttidny possesses more than twice the number of but- tlcships she had before the \.'ar, a third as many armored cruiser_s,thrce more other cruisers and nearly three times as many destroyers, but three fewer torpedo boats. Her naval loss- es during the war totalled 19 vessels and 46,616 tons. On the other hand, she captured 21 vessels, representing 135,540 tons.

Thus the net gain, without further

building on Japan’s part, it seems to be two in number and 881024 in tonnage,the discrepancy between these divisions'be\ing due to the fact- that Japa,n's chief gains were in battle- ships' and cruisers. Critics of the ex- pansion program arc naturally ask- ing why, in the face of these figures which indicate an advance of full 90 per cent including new construe-

noUBLen

There Has Been A

tions, the government should persist

in making appropriations for the army and navy more than 36 per

cent of the total national expendi- ture for the next fiscal year.

Leading financiers and business men

do not hesitate to point out that, so long as the above disparity is' main- tained, the country must expect to invite foreign distrust while forth- coming attempts to negotiate n. new loan are likely to encounter no small opposition and even if successfui,v.ill iprove so only at the cost oil a sacri- ilice of prestige' in the shape of some form uf hypothccntion.

FHENIIH CHAMBER

One ofthe Deputies Knocks Another Down and Boxes His Ears

PARIF, March B-An exchange of

angry words, followed by a violent assault in the lobby of the Chamber of Deputies to-day, is likely to lead to a duel between ex-Minister Ber. teaux__ and M. Wendel, chief of M. Clemenceau’s cabinet at the Minis‘try of the Interior. After the warm Moroccan debate in the Chamber on Feb. 24, two government officials cordially shook hands in the lobby with Emil Constant, who during the debate had an angry wranglc with Premier Clelncnccnu.

Their action was regarded las. a re-

deetion on M. Clemenceau, and it was said, although it is now denied, that they were casbiered for it. The incident caused nihch ill feeling, ho- cause the two oflieinls' are supposed to ' be supporters of ex-Premier Combes, and the deputies have taken sides in the matter. Deputy Astier, upon meeting M. Mendel in the lobby to-day, accused him of tale-bearing against officials.

M. Mendel denied the accusation.

Others were drawn into the dispute, and W. Berteaux accused M. Hendel of amazing impertinence, and threa- ened to box his ears. W. Mendel, white with rage, replied- ‘You are a blackguard,' whereupon M. Berteaux _rushed at him, knocked him down, and boxed his ears. ~Some deputies separated them. M. Mendel left the lobby and resigned his position, so as to be free to follow his impulses. I-Ie has sdnt seconds to M._Bertcuux with a challenge.
