japanese 44rBly RntiOnS.

General Weston, chief of subsistence
Of the American army, has solved
what he believes to be the great secret
of the wonderful mobility of the Jap
anese army. 1t lies in the field ration.
a sample of which he has received
from Major w. B. Barker at Naga-
saki. one of the American officers who
are watching the war. The ration
shows that the Japanese soldier can
live and fight for a month on a food
supply that weighs less than the daily
ration of the American soldier in the
field.
The fish received by General Weston
is about seven inches long and an inch
and half thick in the middle, and is
dried until it resembles petrified wood.
1t weighs only twelve ounces. but Ma
jor Parker says it will sustain a Jap
anese soldier for seven days.
When soldiers are on the march
they eat the fish just as it is, biting off
small pieces, which are thoroughly
masticated, but when they are in camp
the fish is shaved off in small slices
and cooked with rice. The fish re-
sembles a mackerel, but its japanese
name is "mamibushi."
The fish is about two feet long and
thick and solid before preparation for
the army ration. In preparing it for
army use il is cut in two and steamed
and dried alternately until it is re-
duced to about one-eighth of its orig
inal size, with corresponding reduc-
ton in weight.
Each Japanese soldier can carry
enough fish and rice to last him three
or four weeks and q whole army car
be made absolutely independent of the
! commissary trains that are indispen-
sable in other armies. If the Russian
| soldiers could live on as little as the
! japanese require the Siberian Rail
road would have little to do but hau
! troops, for one trainload of dried fish
and rice would sustain General Kuro-
: patkins army for weeks.
Dried fish is used only as a field
ration. The regular daily ration il
! the japanese army consists of one and
a half pounds of rice and half pound
of canned meats. The daily ration in
! the United States army weighs about
/ four pounds and the emergency ra-
ton is not a great deal lighter.
