Efforts Desperate to Leave
Two Cities as U. S.
Properties Damaged

HONG KONG, Oct. 10. (UP)-
Scores of Americans and other
occidentals today were attempting
desperate last minute flights from
Hankow and Canton as attacking
japanese armies smashed into the
inner defenses of the provisional
national capital and the great
South China metropolis.
Chinese reports said japanese
columns were within FIVE miles of
Sheklung, As miles northeast of
Canton, where they were meeting
fierce resistance. Japanese author
tiles said a strong force was drlv-
ing simultaneously on Canton
from the south, along the severed
Canton-Hong Kong railway. I'm
precedented bombing preceded the
advancing japanese.
Last night 100000 Chinese
militiamen paraded in Canton by
torchlight, pledging to defend the
citv to the last.
: Fragmentary communications
from both cities, which are isolat-
ed from the coast by the japanese
drives. reported near-panic among
the Chinese. Occidentals decided
to get out of the war zones as
rapidly as possible.
U. S. and British gunboats were
standing off both river cities and
were prepared to take on their
nationals if necessary.
Radio dispatches reported eX-
tensive damage to American prop
erty on the Hankow front.
Two American mission hospitals
on the Peiping-Hankow railway
south Of Hankow had been
bombed and many Chinese con-
verts were reported killed.
. The first attack was on the Lu-
theran Mission hospital at Kio-
shan, 40 miles north of the Japa-
nese base at Sinyang station 100
miles north of Hankow. japanese
planes flew over the hospital
twice on the 18th and dropped
bombs which caused great dam
age"
. The second attack, on the 18th,
was on the Augustana Synod mis-
sion at Hsuchang, so miles south
of the ,Chengchow junction of the
North-South Peiping-Hankow line
and the East-West Lung-hai rail-
way. Equally heavy damage was
done there, missionaries informed
the, U. S. consulate general in
Hankow. .., =,
No occidentals were hurt in the
raids. 90. .... S., e :,
The Koshan missionaries said
that their buildings. outside the
city and visible for 10 miles. were
marked by IL American flags.
The bombinps were listed, along
with other similar attacks, for pos
sible claims against the japanese
later. :,
Meantime Japanese mechanical
columns. which yesterday cut the
Kowloon (Hong Kong) Canton
railway Is miles north of Shum-
chan station near the British ter
ritorial border, were reported to
have consolidated their positions
and to be advancing directly up
the railway toward Canton:
The Japanese continued to use
their favorite "fan-eolumn" tao
tics in their attacks on both cities.

Throo objections are featured a.
gainst the Coop Nedical Plan. They
are easily answered.
First Oh joc tt on:
We arc paying a doc tor for the pr wi
lege Of coming into virgin territory,
affording good future. Cthor doc tors
don't have it easy.
Answer:
We are not paying the doctor to take
this excellent opportunity. We are
paying only for medical service. Since
he will not be here on q foo-basis, the
virgin" character Of this community is
Of no Importance. If we are afraid that
things are too rosy for the medico We
can make faces at him, let air out Of
his tires, etc.
Second 0bjection:
4 doctor on a steady income will not
render consc iontious service.
Andwor:
The best doctors in the country are
staff members Of important ms itutions,
e.g. Mayo Clinic. The Rockefeller
ms titute doesn't pay research fellows
on a fee-basis. 5anting did not submit
a bill at the end Of the month when he
discovered insulin. Carroll, tho pamp-
cred on q straight salary, is not a
SLOUGH, On the other hand, a "fee-basis'
doctor may be tempted to prescribe
an extra visit Or two.
Third objecti on:
A fee-basis doc tor has to worry about
his reputation, while a straight salary
doctor doesn't give a boot.
Answer:
A doctors reputation among laymen
does not depend his skill. We lay
men cannot judge technical profile iency.
Reputation, except in the profession,
depends on factors other than medical.
Coop doctor has every reason to
make his services satisfactory, since
he is directly respons ible to the CON-
munity as a whole. Fur thermore, no will

HAZARDS ABOUT THE HOME
BY Maury Fontaine
The American Red Cross First Aid
says PREVENT ACCIDENTS: remove the
hazard or remain conscious Of it's pre-
sence.
Ranking high among the accidents in
the home is SLIPPING IN THE BATHTUR.
Just what the psychology is--whe Their
it is the enjoyment Of the bath the
the AYERS ion to taking one, that gets
the attention off any lurking dangers
the result is the same.
One fall in the tub is usually enough
to convince one that this is a serious
hazard.
Place a rubber mat in the athtub and
provide hand grips strong and conven-
lent.
Avoid standing in a wet soapy tub
while drying yourself.
AS last reminder! BE CAREFUL.
