Chinese Victory Lessons
Enemv Peril From Burma

CHUNGKING, May 8. (UP)-The
threat of a japanese invasion OF
China from Burma was eaSed today
by the sharp defeat the enemy sui
fered around Chefang, 20 miles in
side the Chinese border, and by the
pounding American volunteer group
filters had given them in western
Yunnan province.
The Chinese reported in a COM
munique yesterday that they had
fiercely counter attacked the Japa-
neSe on the Burma road northeast
of Wanting killed 1000 and trap
ped 400 more in the rugged SalWeen
gorges along the road. The Chinese
were reporting trying to wipe the
trapped Japanese out.
The AVG raided japanese troops
and trucks On Thursday. They found
no enemy air activity.
The Chinese said they had com
pletely annihilated" a unit of the
Japanese in their counter attack,
Thursday afternoon. They counter
attacked when japanese troops, adj
vancing along the road from Wan
ting split into two groups after
the arrival of reinforcements in
trucks and attacked the Chinese on
both flanks and in the rear.
The Chinese said they, lin a most
ferocious battle" wiped out one
japanese group, killing half of the
other and bottled the remnants up

WHEN NEWS FROM THE
FRONT IS BLACKLIST

In less than one week:
Japan completed the conquest of
Burma.
Corregidor fell to the Japs.
Madagascar fell to the British
United Nations sea power scored vital
victory in the Coral Sea off northeastern
Australia
We are not strategists enoug1 to say
which is the most important victory. nor
in whose favor the weeks scale has been
tipped. From here, the battle of the
fleets in the Coral Sea appears the most
far reaching in consequences. If that
is the case, the week has been a cheerful
one.
There has never been a better demon
stration than in this series of events that
mercurial reaction to the news of the day
is a bad thing for the public in wartime.
None of us can help a certain amount Of
gloom at bad news, and certain citation
at good news, but the most fortunate
of us are those who can control the en-
tent of our reaction, realizing that all
these events of the war are part of
great pattern-that none should be con-
sldered separately.
To do our part most efficiently in the
war effort. we've got to maintain an even
not go to utter depths of depression be-
cause of defeats on one 'front.' and it is
equally dangerous to rise to fantastic
heights of JOY because of victories on
another.
In the last week, the up-and-downers
have touched both extremes. Early in
the seven-day period they were practi-
cally conoading final defeat. A day or
so later, they we're expecting final victory
almost momentarily. Of course, they
were wrong at both ends. There'll still
be lot of bad news, and lot of good
news, before this war is won.
Great events of war, on sea or land,
take weeks and even months of planning.
When the outlook is blacklist, events may
be in the making which will change the
hue to rose. We do not know the plans,
and it is right that we should not. While
Burma was falling, the British were
steaming toward Madagascar While Cor
regidor was fighting its last battle, Unit
ed Nations fleets were seeking the Japa-
nese in the Coral Sea.
In war, the news that is not told often
overweighs that which is published. 1t
is an important thing to keep that in
mind, if we are to retain the balance
which is so important these days

enemy vessels, including one ana
probably two aircraft carriers, TWO
heavy cruisers, two light cruisers.
9,000-to ton seaplane tender. two de-
stroyers and four gunboats, they
had definitely repulsed the Japa-
nese in a blazing five-day battle
of the Coral Sea.
After reporting the cessation OF
the battle, and promising that Allied
attacks would continue, Macarthur
said tonight in his communique No.
% from his general headquarters.
The enemy version of the bat
Ting off the northeast coast of Aus
tralia is entirely fictional and has
no semblance of true communique
of fact.
1T must be regarded in the light
of propaganda rather than Of mill
tary report.
Japanese claims of damage in
flicted on our naval forces are FAM
tastic.
Our losses compared with those
of the japanese were relatively light.
THE only reason they are noS
published at present is because it
would reveal valuable information.

1t apparently was one OF the
heaviest single attacks the Raj

fact that the Germans had used

Evidently the Raj considered that
its four nights of hammering on

the British dropped had reduced
Rostock which has large airplane
factories, to rubble and killed 1000

GUNBOATS ON THE YANGTzE
IChicapO Daily NawS)

Chicago Daily News)
A ten-line Associated Press dispatch
tells of the transfer to China of three
British and one American gunboat. This
will hardly affect the balance of naval
power in the Far East. The boats are
river craft, built to operate on the broad
waters of the YangtZe.
What makes history out of the transfer
is the virtual certainty that never again
will Britain and the United States, nor
Germany, France or any other European

AN ACTIVE DEAD MAN

For man supposed to be dead, Presi
dent Manuel Quezon of the Philippines
has travelled considerably, under his own
power, since his supposed death.
1t was during the battle of Bataan
that Tokyo announced" Quezon's death,
along with bloody details of how he had
succumbed to lung ailment. If you
believe Tokyo, Quezon is still dead. The
announcement has never been retracted.
Yet since it was made, Quezon has ap-
peared at MacArthur's headquarters in
Australia, and from there came to the
West Coast, Ell route to Washington to
set up long-range Philippine govern
ment.
The Quezon death" announcement
was good example of one form of Japa-
nese propaganda. 1t had a tWO-fold pur-
pose-to weaken Filipino resistance in
the islands, and fish out, if possible,
United Nations announcement of Quezon's
exact actual whereabouts. Both failed,
fortunately
Now we're wondering if Japan's sup
posed victories, to date, will not be in
much the same category before long. Like
President Quezon, the conquered areas
are liable not to stay dead

LONDON, May 9. (UP) - The
Royal Air Force returned early to-
day to the area of Rostock, Ger
manys great Baltic port, and rained
an estimated $50 tons of high eX-
plosives and many hundreds OF fire
bombs on important objectives.
The magnitude of the raid was
indicated by the fact that the Brit
iSh lost 10 bombers.
Warnemunde, eight miles above
Rostock on the Warne river, was
the chief target and the Raj was
aiming at the terminus of a train

mans for conveying troops and sup

Makes Victory Out
OF Naval Defeat
BY UNITED PRESS

Japan admitted the loss Oh
small sized" aircraft carrier and
81 battle planes Saturday in the
battle of the Coral Sea.
An Imperial headquarters COM
munique issued at Tokyo claimed
the carrier was "a converted Oil
tanker"
The communique alleged that, in
addition to claims of Friday, an
unidentified Allied cruiser had been
damaged, a destroyer sunk and 80
Allied planes shot down.
1t was alleged that the cruiser was
damaged "by head-on crash OF
torpedo plane"
Later Japan claimed the sinking
of two more" destroyers.
Previously Japan had claimed thc'
sinking of two American aircraft
carriers and q battleship and the
damaging of British battleship and
