Trcwartha, Assistant Professor of OooKraphy at the University of WlHconsIn, who re- cently returned from an exteiiRlvB study-tour of Japan and Manchuria. "About 75 per cent, of thn land In Japan Is too steep or too rough for cultlTatlun," he said upuu his return. "In the United States, we have twelve times as much cultivated land per capita as Japan ban. The area of Japan, which Is smaller than the State of California, Is hihabltod by sixty mil- lion people. Despite projects of reclamation and more Intenslvo cultivation, Japan lu 1926 lost more land for roads, cities, railroads, etc., than It gained. The terrace lands, which skirt the mountains and overlook Iho delta land along the coast, are Intensively culti- tated, although the soil Is not fertile and Irrigation Is dtfllcult. In this area tea, mulberry leaves, vegetables, aud grains are grown. The laud is goaded to yield three crops of vegetables and one of grain lu a year. Professor Tre- wartha observed. "If thoro Is to be war between Jiipau and the United States," he de- clared, "It must be started by the irnlted States. Japan cannot risk losing her trade with the United States. Practlciilly all of the silk, in the production of which nearly one- slxlh of the Jupaiiesd are engaged. Is exported to tho United States.

Hunt For Diamonds in War-Torpedoed Steamer St. Nazaire, France. â€" Ten million dollars in uncut diamonds are be- ing sought by Italian (fivers In the hold of the Belgian liner Blizabeth- vlUe, which was torpedoed off this port in September, 1917. The entire diamond output of the Congo for the year, belonging to the Belgian State, was on board in one safe. The Belgian Government has engaged the Italian salvage boat Artigllo to bring up the dia- monds. The plan of the divers is to pass around the wreck on the outside, locate the captain's cabin. In which was the safe, and dynamite that side of the ship bo the divers can enter. The idea then is to attach lines to the safe. The actual hoist- ing will be done by a powerful mag- net with which the boat is equipped. The current at the wreck is of great force and, if the magnet should lose Its grip, the lines will guide the divers to the safe. Lady Astor Bests Peer in Argument Canada Interested in lU Wild Life Dominion and Provincial Game Officials Adopt Conservation Recom- i mendations A conference of Dominion and Pre Tlnclal game offlciais was held re- cently at Ottawa on invitation of the Minister of the Interior, at which all the Provinces and several Federal departments wore ropresented. The program included matters of interest to all Canada connected with the ad- ministration of the Dominion's re- sources of fur, game animals and birds, says a bulletin of the American Game Protective Association. Conclusions arrived at were ex- pressed In the form of resolutions. A complete biological survey by Provin- cial and Dominion Governments and Canadian universities was urged. Domlnlon-wlde prohibition of the sale of game was declared desirable. Tho Provincial licensing of all hunters waa recommended, with the provision that all licensees be required to re- port the numbers of each kind of game killed. ,_ „ Ki ui I Tcu I \A ' "^^ formation of a Dominion Game Tells Noble Lord she Is More protective Association to the end that English Than He, Despite j there should be a well-balanced gen- Her Virjrinia Birth I*â„¢' program of game conservation 'for the entire country was advocated.
