I saw one group Of a hundred hud-
died together, ragged and wretched.
Yet their fighting spirit seemed un-
dimmed. Give us bullets, rice and
leadership, they said, and we'll go
back and drive the Japanese out of
Canton.
For the last three nights we have
had complete "blackout," by which
means the army hopes to hide the
city from Japanese bombers making
night attack.
While million and a half people
creep lightless through the streets,
sit in unlighted houses. feel their
way in boats blindly across the har-
Dor, a score of British army planes
rise from the airport and begin to
roar overhead In military formation.
Instantly, from the heights which
hedge Hong Kong on every side,
great batteries of powerful search
lights go into action, Lighting the
clouds with their blazing rays. They

hang on as the planes dive and
dodge to escape their implacable
beams. The anti-aircraft guns bark

lion lights, in one binding flash,
come on.
Yes, life in Hong Kong is exciting
just now. With the China Japan
England conflict pressing on every
side, each day brings a new SEN
sation-usually a report Of yet an
other blow to the colony's pride.
The latest bitter pill is the story
that Japan, having won control of
the mainland and being determined
to undermine Hong Kong by every
possible means, plans to rebuild
the little Portuguese port of Macao,
at the mouth Of the Canton River.
Macao, before the rise of Hong
Kong, was the richest and busiest
port in South China.
There seems to be only one way
for Hong Kong to escape this doom.
And that is for the entire British
Navy to come to the China Sea and
blast the daylights out of the Japan
ese, drive them out of Canton, and
send them flying back north of the
YangtZe.
Otherwise it looks as if, before
long tourists will be travelling from
skyscrapper hotels In rejuvenated
Macao, over to the once powerful
city OF Hong Kong, to visit the
romantic ruins.

taste of the war that's raging
over all China. The defeated Chin
ese forces, retreating down the pen
insula toward Hong Kong from
Canton, reached the border of Brit
ish territory on the mainland. Here
they found themselves with English
barbed wire and machine guns
before them, the pursuing Japanese
behind, and the sea on the other
side. For week the Chinese,
caught in this trap, fought off the
invaders. Japanese shells landed
among them (and upon British
military posts as welD. Japanese
airplanes, skirting the border line,
bombed them from above. The
whole border country, thickly popu-
lated. was burned and blasted. I
saw thousands of terrified refugees,
carrying their children and chick
ems in baskets and dragging their
cows behind them, fleeing into
British territory. Wars innocent
victims, all struggling in one di-
rection, choked the roads. In the
opposite direction truckloads of
English soldiers pushed their way
through the mass of children and
carts and bullocks being pulled along
by the fleeing farmers.
For five days this painful and
ominous situation continued. Then

food and ammunition gone, re-

Dr.. WaIsh's 'slecfure
Series Starts Fridav

Opening q series of 10 public lee
lures on the problems confronting
American democracy at home and
abroad, DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j..
regent of the School of Foreign
Service, Georgetown University, will
speak at $3.50 pm. Friday in Memo
rial Continental Hall.
His first topic is "Czecho-Slovakia
and the Pact of Munich" in which
he will discuss the new balance OF
power in Europe and Asia and Ger
many's relation to the United States
in Latin America.
The lecture course this year has
been prepared especially in connec-
ton with the sesquicentennlal of
the United States Constitution and
of Georgetown University, which was
founded in 1899. In the third lee
ture he will deal with American
democracy in its 150th year and the
contribution of William CASTOR of
North Carolina. Georgetown's fore
most earliest graduate.
Tickets for the lecture course may
be obtained upon application to the
School of Foreign Service. The lee

68 per cent-with forecast that
the figure will be 80 per cent soon.
The most astonishing feature of
Japan's bloodless victory here is
the passive way it's accepted. The
general opinion, in both army and
civilian circles, is: We can't do
anything about It, The Japanese
have got us. So why worry, why
resist?
Had England gone to war in Sept
ember, the British army and navy
planned to ship out all the white
women and children to Singapore.
And the military forces themselves,
fighting rear-guard action, would
have followed.
For Hong Kong, with all its
apparent strength as fortress, Is
defenseless against Japan. There
are only four reservoirs, and these,
surrounded by glaring white stone
dams, make perfect targets for
bombers. -Four well-placed bombs,
falling into the four reservoirs-and
a million and a half people would
have to surrender or perish of
thirst.
To guard against this very catas-
trophe England has placed anti
aircraft guns on every peak-top,
and concentrated a hundred air.
planes at her Hong Kong base. A
hundred! Against this puny force
Japan could send a thousand.

WOMAN KILLS ASSAILANT
AFTER SHE is WOUNDED

After she had been shot six times
by Denny Johnson, Roma Jacob be-
fore she fell to the ground, reached
for her gun and with one shot through
his heart instantly killed the man she
had battled following an argument.
This then is the story of two colored
people and a fight which occurred
in Savage's Neck on Saturday night OF
last week as reported by Northampton
county officers and it sounds more
like deadly battle at dead Mans
Gulch" in the days of the wild and
woody west.
Roma Jacob lived to be taken to the
Northampton Accomack Memorial
hospital, where she was found to have
six shots in the chest and stomach,
but it was too much, she died next
day.

Charlie visited the diminitive struc-
ture and removed from the nest sew

The following day, "Mrs. Charlie

was making out after the removal of
her strange family. To her surprise
she found Mrs. Hen clucking out some
motherly admonitions as she crafty

And a lot of stony road way that

Perhaps it would be wise to treasure

SILENCE

SILENCE
There is so much that's lovely in the
silence all around,
When the roses bloom in June they
never makes a sound;
Or when the suns bright morning rays
light up the day,
Hiding the shadows of the summer
night away,
Both have reigned in silence with not
a word to say.
The stately trees in silence give us
shade
Turning to Autumn beauty ere they
fade,
Fireflies help to make the summers
night a lovely thing
Lighting their tiny lanterns here and
there on wing,
Although never yet have heard them
sing.
There is SO much that's lovely in the
silence all around,
There are no words that can express
the love we have found
For home. Home that in silence
stands through out the years,
And faith that never speaks, yet
wipes away all tears
And silently goes with us through the
years.
