THE JAPANESE RATION.

The American observers with the
Japanese army have come to the con-
ciusion that the mobility of the Japa-
nese is due to the lightness Of their
army rations. They have a fish sew
EN- inches long and an inch and half
thick in the middle which has enough
meat in it to sustain a soldier seven
days, while marching and fighting.
The fish weighs only IL ounces and it
is possible to carry enough Of them
to sustain not only life, but marching
strength for a whole month. The
fish as carried represents the bulk of
a fish which was originally two feet
or more in length. This fish by alter
nate steaming and drying is reduced
to the portable size. 1t is eaten on
the march, the Japanese soldier being
satisfied with few nibbles, which he
masticates thoroughly. When it is
possible the fish is shaved off and
cooked in rice, making an ideal meal
for soldier on the march. In ordi.
nary times the Japanese soldier has a
ration consisting of one and a half
pounds OF rice day and half pound
Of canned meat. The American ra,
ton corresponding to this weighs not
less than four pounds. But it is the
little dried fishes which give the Jap.
anese their real superiority in the
march as an army can march week
or month without depending on the
commissary department.
The Japanese are frugal eaters
partly from choice and largely be
cause it has been necessary on their
over-crowded islands. They have
learned to eat to live, and not live to
eat.
