JAPS MENACE PHILIPPINES FROM THE AIR WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.—Ji is converting every available plain on the island of Formosa into an tion field. Furthermore, she is these fields for the develo, aircraft armed with possibly the most destructive explosive known to science. This information has been secured in official circles here. Formosa is within a short steam- ing radius of the Philippines, and is: even nearer to China, It was taken as part of the indemnity following the last Chinese-Papanese war, Naval officials said today that the activities on Formosa explain the heretofore mysterious fact that Jape an was appropriating only a com- paratively small amount for the con= struction of first-class battleships. They also point out that Japan's course parallels that of Great Brit- ain. The fact that Great Britain had dropped her big shipbuilding and wag developing aircraft instead, was first | pointed out by Admiral Benson in ad« vices to the navy department from Europe. One navy official, who, for obvious. reasons, would not permit his name to be used, had this to say: : BELIEVES JAPAN IE EYEING U. 8. ‘ “There would seem to be more force now than ever In the belief that Japan has her eye on the Unit- ed States, or any part of it she can most easily attack, if the war spirit controls the Japanese cabinet, “What we learn is that Japan has x been conducting experiments on @ big seale from fleets of aeroplanes, which have their base mosa.

It has jbeen known for the past ten years that Japan has made it a first class military station, and when we made some inquiries some years ago we were told that Japan was mined to exterminate bandits with which the island was infested. That army, however, after ten years has been increased and the available level stretches of the southern part of the island turned into aviation fields, with an ever increasing num- ber of planes. ‘rom what we gather the new explosive is of greater destructive power than the celebrated “shi- mose,” with which Japan startled the world soon after the Spanish.
