Mail.)Orders have already been placed fo sixteen war vessels under the new appropriations %ade for, the carrying out of the great eight battleship and eight bat tle cruiser program, which the na tion experts to have completed by .1927, a large number of other yes sels, are also to be provided, accord ing to the, plans of the navy auth orities. Some curiosity is already being feltkaB to whether the financial budget a outlined by the navy will sufficient to carry it out, or whether a fresh burden of taxation must be placed on the already hcav ily tax-ridden nation. are expressed by the Jiji, one of the leading Sallies, which says: "It -is* clear that it will be diffi cult to build so many war ships at a cost Of 750,000,000 yen. As a matter'6f faot, it Is reported that the naval authorities will ask for an ad dition of 100,000,000 yen to the or iginal allotment of 120,000,000 yen for the next financial year. The rate of this increase is 85 per cent, and if the cost of the entire program is calculated on this basis, the total figure will be 1,390,000,000 yen in stead of the original estimate of 760,- 900,000 yen. It is likely, however, that a redaction in prices may occur, nd this will reduce the rate of in crease to between 60 and 70 per cent. Unless* the' naval estimates are am ended considerably, additions must be asked for every year, and this may give rise to serious political questions. This causes us to wonder Whether the naval program will real ly be completed by 1927. At Jjio- same time Japan Is busy building a large fleet of submarines which-are probably to be used as a ..line OfMefense across the Pacific ap proaches to Japan, it appearing that Japan's newly acquired control of a chain of various groups of islands norttfe of the Equator, will give her the chance to establish a chain of stations tor these vessels. The nppss reports that while the Empiraj*t present possesses about a score ml submarines, she expects to haveJT20 when the big new program lkeAleted, of which 80 are to be reSjfyby 1923. At present about ,18 arjTsald to be under construction. It also reported that while the cost these vessels was, formerly about 00 yen per ton/ they now cost 00 yen per ton, and that the Mit subishi Shipyard, which is building a number of them, is out about 600,- 000 yen on its contract.

MARKET QUOTATIONS, REPUBLICAN WOMEN TO HOLD MEET TOMORROW The republican women of this city and vicinity will meet} at the republican headquarters in the new Dunn building on Third street ^tomorrow afternoon""at 3:30 o'clock. Ah interesting and instructive session is as sured. All ladies are cordially invited and requested to be present. Hacker with a view to having him donate the working plans of the Miss Quincy also, so that western boatmen may build and race either model in the 1921 events. That there will be gome battles for "blood" is assured. These doubts ifor both of these designs are excep tionally fast and it will remain with the builders and drivers to so power and operate them as to get the greatest possible speed out of the hulls. These competitive designs be tween the "home folks," however will not be the only interesting feat ure of the 1921 class racing in the west. Garfield A. Wood, the Detroit millionaire who raced "Miss Amer ica" and is recognized as the pre sent world title holder, announces that he, too, expects to build some class race boats and will be at the western meets next season with some "little fellows" that will make the boat racing fraternity in the Missis sippi Valley step some. Boatmen who attend the National Motor Boat show at Grand Central Palace, New York, December 10th to 18th, will have opportunity to make a close examination of the designs of both Smith and Hacker, for many of the famous boats which will be on exhibition will be from plans drawn by these two famous archi tects.
