A force of Japanese plain

eastern gate of Changsha was
"machine-gunned and totally
wiped out by the gallant defend

Japan already has suffered
two humiliating and serious de-
feats in attempts to capture and
hold Changsha, a city of 100000
population. Those defeats were
in October, 1899, and Septembe~,
1871.

SAN DIEGO. Calf, Jan. s.
(R-From a big crippled Army
bomber came the question by
radio: ANY of you pilots ever

An excited group of flight ex-

No, nobody there had ever
tried to bring a crash job down
that way.
Five airmen in the four-mot-

LOSING OUR PANTS


 The War Production Board has just come out with the new war styles for clothing The latest Victory suit will be lapels, cuffs patch pock- cts, gussets i'll the back, etc. More important the new suits for men will have only pair of pants It seems to that if the WIPE is interested in really conserving vital materials. to take away our extra pair of pants is going at it the wrong way When two-p pants suits came in, wasn't the reason given that the extra pair would keep from throwing away coats before they were worn out? If we want clothes to last longer, it seems that it would be logical to keep the two pairs of pants
 As for the women the WIPE has announced plans to freeze the existing silhouette of womens clothes That means that there will be no more drastic changes in style for the time being.
 But We heard somewhere the other day that the existing silhouette" is solely the creature of foun- dation garments that contain rubber So how are the women going to maintain their existing s- houettes if the rubber is taken away from them Something's got to give, and it may be the WIPE Or at least worn-out grde.

 After longish period of discussion and inac- tion the machinery of civilian defense in Cincinnati is beginning to roll. We still are far behind many American cities, even behind many which not as near seacoast Cincinnati. But we have be- gun to show signs of real activity And it is intel lgently planned activity
 Any defense mechanism which depends on un- paid volunteer effort for its personnel will have ser iouS shortcomings. But it would be utterly imprac- tical to search for any other method of protection against air raids and their train of fires injuries and transportation interruptions.
 Most of us stil have the lingering feeling that Cincinnati will be singled out for air lombard ment. This, despite the universal recognition that this is one of few key cities peculiarly vital to the long range production program of the national de- fense effort. But to suppose air raids improbable is no excuse whatever for peglecting civilian defense Too many countries and cities have been smashed because they did not expect to be victims of attack

SAVE AND SALVAGE

So you want to know how you help your country win the war? We're going to tell you.
 Tomorrow and the next day drive to collect waste materials will be launched in Juneau. This is your chance to really do something constructive toward winning the war.
 Americas factories in want of waste materials. They need tons and tons of waste paper, old rags, scrap metals old rubber Scrap rubber makes new rubber for motorized forces, for planes, tanks and bateships and for essential civ ilian needs Scrap metals makes the steel. brass, copper. lead and other metals for the guns planes, tanks and ships need to fight this war. Old rags make needed materials for emergency buildings, wip- ing rags for industries and reworked textiles Waste paper makes new paperboard to ship munitions clothing and food for Americas fighting men over 
 America really needs these waste materials your discarded junk For example: At Valparaiso Indiana, recently. a junk dealer turned down two offers for his wrecked alopies and other scrap. He defied the War Production Board to send the my It did Two military policemen and U. S.. marshal seized the scrap pile-enough to make four medium tanks The United States needs the scrap all right
 Carrying out successful waste salvage drive is no chid's play. It means that every person in Ju- neau will and must cooperate to the utmost Ev- cry person in Juneau has wanted to do something about this war" Here's your chance
 The project has been planned carefully A col lection center has been set up in the Annex of the Occidental Hotel at Front and Main Streets It will be known the Salvage Center. ,. 1s
 list of the materials that will pay their ship ping expenses to the factories is being published elsewhere in today's Empire
 Here is where your cooperation is really needed. You are asked to deliver your waste materials to the Salvage Center, starting tomorrow This is not profit venture Therefore no funds will be avail able to pay for collection. Toss your junk in the back of your auto and deliver it in person to the Salvage Center.
 Ii you have no way of getting your donations to the Salvage Center, telephone 176 and truck will be sent
 The Salvation Army has volunteered to super
