CABIN JOHN SHIP BASIN FUND ASKED Navy Renews Request for $4,200,000 to Erect Model Designs. FEfforts were renewed by the Navy Dipartment today to obtain funds for construction of a model ship basin in the vicinity of Cabin John, and & request for $4.200.000 was filed with the Division of Applications and In- | formation of the new works program. The Navy has had the project under consideration for several years, but has failed in every previous at- tempt to get the mone her_from Congress or from the Public Works Administration The application filed today points out that the only present facilities in the old model basin in the Washing- ton Navy Yard are inadequate to con- duct satisfactory experiments tests on ship models. The proje contemplates construction of basins of the most modern design. ‘ Options Are Secured.

Suppression mintang activitie ubmission in the area for anese military authorities The “demands” served 1o recall the famous demands” which Japun served on China i 1915, while the attention of the rest of the world powers was occupied by the World War. Some of them were later modi- fied and others accepted. In the post- war settlement of Far Eastern aftairs, most of the privileges Japan a~quired in 1915 were aullified under pressure of the other world powers. Records showing that the same mili- tary movement began exactly a vear ago seemed to bear out the army’s contention that the sailing of the transports from Osaka and Moji were not connected with the crisis. It alo | was pointed out that the Emperor's sanction for the movement was ob- tained three weeks ago. It was admitted, however, that be- tween the arrival of the replacements and the departure of the troops whose | time has expired—a departure which | possibly will be delayed in view of the | tension—Japan’s garrisons in Tientsin, Peiping, Tangshan and Lwanchow will be expanded about 50 per cent. Tt however, is a different matter from the Chinese reports that Japan's forces in North China are tripled. In any case, military authorities were agreed that if Japan decides to use force, the small command under Lieut. Gen. Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander of the Japanese garrison in North China, would not deliver the main blow. Umezu's garrison is nor- | mally less than 2000 men and neu- tral authorities said evidence was lacking that there would be any con- siderable expansion of it until the arrival of today's replacements, 1933 May Be Repeated. If the Japanese Army strikes in North China, the far larger command of Gen. Jiro Minami, commandant in Mauchukuo, wil be called upon to sweep across the Great Wall through Shanhaikwan, in a maneuver some- vhat similar to the 1933 invasion.
