Toxic, Sept. Notwithstanding
the silence of the government, the
real fact is disclosed that Japan made
peace at Portsmouth in fear of a
financial breakdown. The war proved
more costly than had been calculated
and the rice and cereal crops seemed
doomed to failure. While some inn
provement may still be i'm store, it is
certain that the rice crop promises to
be from 5 to 20 per cent below the
average and far below last years

Six months more of war would have
