The real fact seems to be disclosed
that Japan made pence in fear of tinan-

costly than had been calculated and the
rice and cereal crops seemed doomed to
failure. Instead of sunlight and warmth
during the month of August when the
crops ripen, there was continuous rain
and exceedingly cold weather. While
some Improvement may still be in store
it is certain that the rice crop promises
to be from 10 to 20 per cent below the
last years crop when it was marvelously
large. Six months more Of war would
have meant very hard times, for the
masses of the people are very poor and
rice is their bread and meat.
