Sometimes, from the east,
wildly riding on stocky horses,
came weird men in white wool
and sheepskins: Tall fur hats on
their heads, and machine guns
mounted on their saddles.
And in the white nights hordes
of white-hooded runners came
skimming over the SHOWS, in

with red flame the doors and

Silent. Invisible Army.
The gray army was silent and
invisible. 1t crept along the gut

passing soldiers.
1t had fought in Eastern cam

The gray guerillas, if you saw
them, made you shudder with
disgust. Fat little bodies, and
tentacle-like legs, made to crawl,
to stick, to cling. Hunger, cold

throats.

and lies on supply routes of Australia and
New Zealand. 1t is within $50 miles of the
northeast coast of Australia and roughly a
thousand miles northwest of New Zealand.
New Caledonia is one of the largest and
economically most valuable of the south
Pacific islands. More than $500 square miles
in area, it is bigger than Massachusetts, but
its population is only about fifty thousand.
Its Moderate Climate
About a third of the inhabitants Of New
Caledonia are whites. This large proportion
is due to the islands rich natural resources
and its moderate climate, which permits not
only permanent settlement but also manual
labor by Europeans. Some of the French
population resulted from Frances long use
of the island as a penal colony. Besides
Melanesians and Polynesians, nearly 1,500
japanese were living there according to a
recent estimate.
In peacetime, New Caledonia's farming,
livestock raising, mining, and industrial life
are well balanced. New factories make use
Of such available raw materials as timber,
cotton, coffee, coconuts, hides, nickel, chromite
and iron. In recent years Japan and Ger
many took large quantities of New Caledonia
nickel, with Japan also taking much iron.
The United States long has been a leading
buyer Of chromite from the island.
Washington Journal., 1942-05-22

Their shapes vary from round and oval to
triangular or square or oblong, rounded at
the corners, with diversified outlines and
peculiar inside designs, either geometrical or
fashioned after leaves, blossoms, birds,
butterflies, beetles, turtles, lizards, serpents,
dragons or fish, cunningly wrought.
With the evolution of the so-called Kama
kura Style, corresponding loosely to Euro
pean Rococco and BARBECUE, some ambitious
sw~ordsmiths fashioned tsubas suggesting
waves of water, clouds, rainbows or flames.
Still later smiths incrusted their tsubas with
other metals-brass, silver or gold-and even
made them in o%pen-work. AS the ornamental
ton and shapes Of the tsubas became more
f~anciful their inherent strength as guards
for defence declined. japanese historians
have remarked that this followed in the wake
of a long-drawn period of peace, when swords
were carried for show rather than for actual
fighting. Poets like Yone Noguchi have
lamented this degeneracy from Nippon's
"iron-bodied yoretime".
Some of those, who make a fad of collecting
tsubas, can tell the fine points that dis
tinguish the work of such famous tsuba
smiths as Shoami and Hikunebori, or of the
Nara and Goto families, but one must be in
deed a connoisseur to become so discerning.
Japanese Swordsmithery Becomes Vulgarized
Ancient Japanese swords were made to en-
counter tough shields and had to cut through
armor Of stiff leather, lacquer or metal, there
fore their blades had to,b exceedingly hard
and their edges keen. Nowadays swords, if
used in battle, encounter only cloth uniforms,
leather belts or, at worst, iron helmets. So
there is little need of superfine blades. More
over gunfre and hand grenades have done
away with most of the swQrdfghting. The
swords and b~ayonets that are still made for
army use are turned out in mass production
by factories. No wonder then that the ancient
Japanese swordcraft-the best in the world
is becoming obsolete. Perhaps the booty
sword that President Roosevelt received may
turn out to be one Of the last of its kind.
Still the modern Nipponese swords, pro
duced by hundreds of thousands in the fac
tories of Japan, are by no means to be de
spised. They excel the best German or
Italian swords, good as those are. | have
at home a common japanese side-arm that
l picked up on a Manchurian battlefield. It's
blade is better tempered than my best fencing
blades from Solingen and Toledo. 1t is safe
to assume that a people, who in its past could
boast of the best swordsmiths, and who has
shown itself so adaptible in other crafts, in
the present will turn out other weapons and
implements Of war Of great excellence.
