IN the afternoon Strawberries were
picked and tea leaves from the rows
Of tea bushes. And finally just before
supper we took a cart load OF null
berry leaves. stripped from the bushes,

their bamboo and cotton trays in a

More than half Of Japan's farmers
are tenants.
The tenants pay more than half the
Yield Of their fields in rent. Almost
half the farmers have subsidiary occu-
patlons, such as silk industry and te
picking. Almost one-flfth Of the far
mers' families are In debt. The rate
of interest on these debts Is usually 10
per cent and over, and often over IS
per cent.
Automatically in this great contrast
TO the American land Of plenty, a land
where there is little furniture and less
housework, the women work In the
fields with the men.
Cultivation is done almost wholly by
human labor, and with rude imple-
ments. The use OF night soil, or hui
man waste, as practically the exclu-
sive fertilizer, gives the farming a
character peculiarly distasteful to an
American observer.
And yet in this hard lot beauty has
a place it often does not have even in
the land Of liberty right under the OUT
pouring horn Of plenty.
The grounds Of the homes are neat
and shaded with trees and bushes and
flowers. These flowers the japanese
love passionately, keeping fruitless
cherry trees and peach trees fruitless
for the sake OF them. When the lark,

PERSHING TELLS
why LISTS WATT
Difficulties Encountered I'M
Compiling Names of US.
Dead and Wounded
BIG LOSSES
ARE EXPECTED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3-Collection Of
casualties in the first great battle in
which our troops have been engaged in
large numbers has involved a difficult
problem due to the disposition OF the
American forces and other new condi-
tlons.
This was made clear by Gen. Pcrsh-
ing in explaining why casualties had
not been forwarded.
The despatch, which threw the llrst
light upon the dfflculties the head
quarters stan is labOring under was in
answer to several requests which havd
gone from Secretary Baker and Gen.
March that every effort be made 10
send over the casualties as fast as
they were received.
Until the present battle wounded
Americans have been taken in most
cases TO their own hospitals, and the
task Of recording the casualties has
been a comparatively easy one. But
since the present tremendous struggle
began, involving nearly 100000 Amerf-
can troops, the Americans wounded
have been taken TO British and French
hospitals as well. Our own regimcntal
headquarters have not kept up with
the fighting, and telegraph facilities
have been meagre.
In explaining the situation as report
ed by Gen. Pershing. Secretary Baker
said:
Il have received a cablegram from
Gen. Pershing with regard to reports
OF casualties. He points out that our
troops are still widely separated, serV-
ing in many places, causing great diff
flculty and complications in getting ac-
curate information.
I'm addition to this the troops are
from their records while m
the area Of conflict, and must depend
upon inadequate telegraph lines. which
are subject to frequent interruption
and must for the most part be devoted
entirely TO the urgent business Of the
battle itself. Gen Pershing assures
me that he is making every effort to
collect casualty lists, have them con-
nrmed and verified, and that they will
be transmitted promptly"
The difficulties which Gen. PershinS
refers to have been understood here
for some time. and officers Of the War
Department more than a month ago
explained that the detailed lists would
cover periods considerably
earlier than the dates OF issue.

Of all that. merry crowd of singers
held an enjoyable "sing" on ST. Paul's
avenue. This lasted for some time after
the bell was rung. One notable feature
was the mouth organ solos by William

songs familiar at the Wilmington com
munity sing, held every Tuesday night
were sung.

While there is no doubt that the
Germans immediate purpose is to get
out of the pocket, there is consider
able speculation as to whether they
propose to form a line at the Vesle or
drop back to the Aisne or whether
they are preparing for a new blow
