By Autumn Japan Expects to Have a Million Fighting Men in the Field. Japan is meeting the Russian plan of reorganization and reinforcements of its Manchurian armies, with an ex- tensive expedition from its own miii- tary organization. The details and fig- ures are carefully concealed of what seems to be a plan to double the pres- ent army units, but it is reliably es- timated that by autumn next the to- tal military organizations will exceed a million men actually employed in the field. The fighting force is roughly estimated at 700,000 men, with in- creases largely in the infantry and ar-- tillery, although an enlargement in the valry branch is also contemplated.
