Reports of a Japanese-German entente have been received here without skepticism and furnished one of ‘the announced reasons why the Russians dee it neces- sary to build up their army to 1,- 300,000 men. } Great secrecy is maintained as to the disposition of these forces, but the number posted in the Far} East is gener: believed to ex- ceed 250,000 and may total 400,- 000 men. There is also a strong, air force in the East, with per-! haps 1,000 planes.
