JAPAN'S SMALL RICE GARDENS
In Comparison With Americas Miles
of Farms They Might Almost Be
Termed Lauqhable.

Almost one-half of the land capable
of cultivation in Japan is planted In
rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields, many of which are no larger
than a tennis court, are equally fat
and are surrounded by rims Of earth
to hold the water when the fields
are flooded.
The average rice field in Japan is
about one acre and half In size; but
large or small, each field must be lev
eled and each must have its rim or
dixie There must be a system Of
canals to bring water to the fields and
another system OF bitches to take IL
away when il is no longer needed
It is said that there are 1900
square miles Of rice land in japan, the
greater part Of which has been pre-
pared with an almost infinite amount
Of labor. That area OF land cultivated
In rice virtually feeds q nation OF 3d.

AMERICAN STEAMER ESCAPES SUBMARINE
Republican A. p. Leased wire7

AN ATLANTIC PORT, June 12.- How the American steamer Edward Pierce escaped both shell fire and torpedo from a German submarine off the Virginia capes Monday night in a stern chase that ended only when coast lights were sighted, was related here today by Captain Wade, master of the vessel. The attack came soon after the Norwegian steamer Henrik Lund was sunk 120 miles east of Cape Hatteras and probably was made by the same submarine.
 Captain Wade said his first warn ing of the presence of the sea wolf was in a flash of light and a shell crossing his bow. It was dark and the captain decided that he wo.-fd depend upon that and speed to save his shp. All steam was crowded on the vessel and a ZigZag course was run. The subma- rine continued to fire but the marks manship of the gunners in the dark ness was poor.
 Finding his guns unavailing, the German, according to Captain Wade launched a torpedo but it went wide, though the captain and members of the crew saw it pass their vessel at a rapid speed. The chase lasted for two hours, the submarine evidently drawing off when the coast lights came into view. Captain Wade said his wireless calls were answered by the Cape Sable, No- va Scotia, station and the American steamer Walter D. Moves. The latter vessel reported on it's arrival here that it had sighted what was believed to have been a submarine but the Moves was not attacked.
