' TOKIO. Japan, Oct. 30. (Correspond ence of the Associated Press.) A larger army and more ships for the navy were recommended by Count Okuma, the Prime Minister, at a meet ing' of the governmental parties called to arrange their programme for the Imperial Diet, which will assemble De cember 5. The forthcoming session of the Diet promises to be of more than usual in terest, for the Okuma Cabinet, as a Cabinet of the minority parties, must expect to meet some opposition (from the Seiyukai, or Conservative party, which controls the majority of the aeats In the House of Representatives. Two New Divisions Wanted. The Okuma programme, as outlined at the meeting of his political friends, calls for two more - divisions in the army. ! "After careful consideration of the problem of national defense from the viewpoints of diplomacy and finance," said the Premier, "the Ministry has come to the conclusion that the inter national situation does not permit the postponement of an increase In the army." The Premier admitted that the great er part of the money saved by econ omies effected in recent - years which had been Intended for home undertak ings has had to be used for war pur poses. Nevertheless, the Cabinet fa vored two more divisions In the army and an increase in the navy. Stronger KTy Needed, Too. "Army increase Is 'opposed," he de clared, "on the ground of our growing intimacy with Russia. The ministry is doing its best to advance this intimacy, but this satsfactory diplomatic rela tionship is no reason for neglecting an expedient measure of national defense. Also, we must remember that the soli darity of the Anglo-Japanese alliance depends upon the strength of this em pire. Strong nation, as we are, ours is a seagirt country, and an efficient navy Is needed . to maintain our connection with the continent and to fulfill our mission." Japan, he concluded, would have an Increasingly important role to play in world events, and all should be united to face problems that may arise. Inland Policy Questioned. It Is regarded as not unlikely that the Seiyukai opposition will interpel late the government on the disposition of Kiau-Chau and the islands In the Southern Pacific, including the Caro lines, Marianne and Marshall Islands, which were recently occupied by Jap anese warships in the war against Ger many. ' Already some capital is being Invest ed in these Islands, and experts from the ministries of agriculture and com merce have been sent there to study ' the question of exploitation of the ma rine resources.

BATTLE CREEkT Mich:', Nov. 20 The menace of cholera constitutes a defense of Turkey against the Rus sians fully as formidable as the Turk ish armies, according to Rev. George C. Raynolds. of Van. Turkey, before the medical missionary conference which ended Its session here today. Mr. Raynolds also said the possibility of a holy war seemed remote because of the indifference of the Moslems generally to the alleged appeals of the Turkish leaders. The educational sjstem of Japan was likened. In point of efficiency, to the system of American schools by Dr. Nannie R. Gaines, who lias spent many years In mission work in Japan.'

SALEM, Or., Nov. 20. (Special.)-For the protection of growers, to put an end to the contracting of the product as at present and to induce the brewers to buy American-grown hops instead of European hops, representatives of associations of California, Oregon and Washington, at a meeting here today. decided upon the organization at once of three corporations, one for each state. The meeting is considered the most important ever held by the hopgrowers of the United States, and action was not taken until after consideration for several days of various plans. For the present, at least, the suggestion to or ganize a Pacific Hopgrowers' Associa tion, with amliatetd associations in Oregon, California and Washington, has been abandoned. Articles - of Incorporation for the three corporations will provide that they are -to continue In existence at least three years. The capital stock of each will-be Uxed-by a board of directors and probably will be $500,000 for the California association and 8300, 000 each for the Oregon and Washing ton associations. Price Guarantee Proposed. It was further agreed: "The corporations will adopt stand ard and uniform contracts under which, they will purchase the growers' hops outright with a guarantee of a mini mum price for his hops, graduated downward from choice to common qualities. "All samples to be forwarded to cen tral organization of each state in plain ly numbered packages, to be graded by experts in the employ of the asso ciation. All disputes regarding quality to be determined by. arbitration. "Beside the minimum price guaran teed the grower on his contract, he is to receive a dividend upon all money received as the selling price above the minimum price paid for his hops, less a small commission to go Into tho re serve fund of the corporation. "In case of different prices being re ceived for the same grade of hops at different times of the season, due to the fluctuations of the market, an average will be struck of all prices received for all grades and growers will receive the benefit resulting from a rise in the market. "Growing crops of membars of the associations will be under the inspec tion of regularly employed and compe tent held Inspectors to advise the grower of the best methods for the cul tivation, care and harvest of bis crop in order to realize the- highest quality or product. Early Organisation Planned. "Organization will proceed as soon as 70 per cent of growers are signed as members and as early as possible, in order to handle the remainder of this year s croD. The delegates today, tfefore reaching a decision, conferred with the follow ing bankers, who approved the project ot tnree state corporations, said the banks would give It their mora and financial support and that It was feasi ble in every way: H.

It is thought many more bankers would have been In attendance but for a mis take in date having been made in the Invitations extended them. Hector McPherson, dean of the de partment of political economy of the Oregon Agricultural College, aided the delegates in working our their plan of organization. Others who took a prom inent part In the proceedings were Ij. H. AlcMahan, of Salem, who presided George Hewlett and P. E. Bl alack, of Hopland, Cal.; E. L. Cunningham, of Uklan, cal.; W. E. M.

Under the agreement reached the minimum price to be offered the grower wiu be fixed each year by the board of directors of the state corporation. It probably will not be less than 11 cents tor choice bops, 10 cents for primes, 9 cents for mediums and 8 cents for commons. The corporation will sell the hops, if possible, for a price higher than that received by the grower, and the grower will receive the benefit of the advance over what he previously received, less a commission to the corporation of half a cent a pound to defray the expenses of the business management. It is be lieved that through this arrangement demoralization of prices such as have occurred in the past can be avoided and that there will be less opportunity for speculation. It is not the Intention of tho associations to antagonize repu tablo dealers, but It will aid them in every way possible to maintain prices The delegates deny any Intention of the associations to fix arbitrary prices, which will be governed by supply and demand as in the past, they declare. They hope, however, to increase the demand by inducing the brewers of this country to favor American-grown hops. BUSINESS MEN WILL QUIZ All Residents of City Eligible to Take Examinations- of Civil Service. So that a civil service examination to be held December 8 at the City Hall to secure eligibles for the positions of private secretaries to Commissioners may be open to all competitors on a fair basis, arrangements will be made for the handling of the oral part of the examination by a committee of prominent business men. Members of the Civil Service Board feel that in asmuch as they are acquaintained with the persons now serving as secretaries business men should conduct the oral part of the examination so that there can be no suspicion of favoritism. The oral examination will be the most important part of the test. It will be for the purpose of determin ing the personality of the applicants. The examination will be open to all residents of the city.

Mrs. Seeds is also a staunch Portland booster wher ever she goes. "Here we are late in November.
