THINK GLASH WITH RUSSIA INEVITABLE Japanese Officlals Declde to Increase Standing Army. Tokio, Nov. 30.—Supported by pa- triotic sentiment which has gripped the very heart of the empire the mil- itary council, following the successful conclusion of the autumn maneuvers, i8 preparing the plans for an army in- orease which will add fifty regiments of infantry to the imperial army, ac- cording to information obtained from a confidential source. ~ The wave of resentment which swept over the empire during the past summer, when scores of soldiers suc- cumbed to sunstroke as a consequence of the exacting drills and maneuvers, has been succeeded by a real awaken- ing of the military spirit since the autumn maneuvers brought the na- tional realization that the army is be- ing perfected for the inevitable strug- gle with Russia. The tactical problems involved throughout the maneuvers indicated most suggestively that the war office accepts an eventual clash with Rus- sia as almost inevitable. The movements of the hardy in- fantry line showed that the empire would again rely on its effective foot soldiers to smash the enemy’s line as they ripped through it at Mukden. - Bemidji’s Pilsener Beer For the Dyspeptic. ~ The dyspeptic is morose because his digestion is bad, A mancan not remain a dyspeptic for any length of time and use this digestion- Drink Pilsener oo sk Meals Its food properties have been predigested in the process of brew- ing.
