We say that our American people could not live on the kind and the amount of food which an ordinary Jap consumes. It is a faoct however, that war {s the most severe t of the endurance of a nation or the people of a netlon, and in the late war between Japan and Russla a larger proportion of the Japanese army reported for duty on the firlng line than ever was known in the his- tory of wars. Whether their food sup- plies are adapted to the American citizen’s idea of living or not, they certainly produce a larger per cent, of fighting men in proportion to the to- tal army in the fleid than any nation has ever been able to muster under similar conditions. “If the tillable area of Connecticut was cultivated as it is in France, in Denmark and in England, it would not only furnish all the food supplies for our own people, but we would have a generous surplus to spare.
