JAP SOLDIERY

First Class Fighters; Pick
Best Points From

BY II. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

TIENTSIN, (By MaiD. (UP).
The Japanese soldier at the front
is one Of the worlds best equip
ped fighting men.
There is nothing cheap or shod-
dy, or in any way resembling the
flimsier Japanese gadgcts sold
abroad, in what the Japanese SOL
der has at his disposal in actual
combat. The japanese at home
has dainty, understood posses

side as BELTS a small pcople.

soldiers have German Hnapsacks,

The horses were problem. Thou

some places a false step plunged
q horse up to its belly in miro.
ARMY RATIONS GOOD
The Japanese soldier is better
fed than in former wars. In the
first Sino-Japanesc conflict 80 per
cent of them had beri-beri,
dangerous disease. caused by a
diet deficiency. which cripples the
muscles. In the Russo-Japanese
war 5000 Japanese soldiers Suf-
fcrcd from it. Officials say there
has been none in the present
North China campaign.
Unpublished rice has been sub
stitutcd for the polished kind and
other items have been added to
the diet. On my visits to the
front ! ate soldiers rationS and
found them palatablc and nouiish-
ing. There was canned beef, can
ned fish, bean soup, rice and
vegetables.
For emergency rations the men
carried, in chccse-cloth bags,
bareback biscuits in which essen
tial food values had been blend
ed. Supply officers told me the
biscuits would remain edible for
10 years but that the ones we
were eating were only . years
old.
ALWAYS BOIL WATER
Water is a problem in China
and the rule of health here is al
ways to boil water and never to
eat anything raw which grows
close to the ground. The Japanese
were extremely careful about
water. They sank deep wells,
then filtered and disinfectcd the
water. Where no wells were avail
able water was boiled.
The fighting qualities of the
japanese army are dcbatablC.
There is no question Of individual
courage. There is ample evidence
that the Japanese soldier is as
courageous as any living man. Per-
hapS he is too courageous, for he
is prone TO make the issue an in
dividual one, like the samurai or
japanese warriors Of fcudal times,
instead Of relying on team work
and organization.
It is said that the japanese are
not good aviators. 1t is true there
are many accidents among filters
in Japan. Weather conditions
there may be partly responsible.
