 But I must get pictures of them. There have been many uneonfirmed reports of Japanese using gas. No one in America will believe 1t with out pictures"

 CHINESE WITHDRAW
 TO HOLDING POSITIONS
 That afternoon Chinese troops began withdrawing from the Ichang front. Their attack had depended on swift surprise action, but that attack had been broken by an un. anticipated weapon.
 And now, two days later, at my feet sprawl 6 few of those struck down by that weapon-only Q few because most have died on the battlefield, Here is Q tunnel of Q railway never completed, in c black cavern echoing with screams, moans, retching, hysterical sobbing, sighs of hopelessness, here lie 300 broken bodies symbolizing China's broken hopes.
 In ttght-paeked rows they lie upon the straw-carpeted floor Their thin cotton uniforms are stiff with blood. Eyes bandaged with red stained cloth. Muscles twitching to move limbs no longer there. A sol- dier with bandaged feet feeding an- other with two taped hands. A third, his face turned to the wall, crying softly,
 And in a corner, the victims of Lewisite gas = their skins black ened as if by powder burns. Flam- ing scarlet patches glisten where
 blisters have broken as if some hideous disease has torn the skin away. These blisters - some puff out like ping-pong balls, others spread over half back and hang heavily with the weight of water inside.
