HER DREAM FADES

Her dream faded Betty was
smiling happily and her head was
high. She was back IN the present
standing on the bottom step, near
the end of her Wedding march.
Every one was looking al hcr

The crowd parted and he came

He took her hand and gently
drew her down the last step.

light gay.

Hopes to Return Some Day.
He said he did not blame his In
quisitors personally. as he believed
they carried out orders from above
and that he hoped to return to his
mission field some day.
The American propensity for wise
cracking over personal ordeals and
disasters was noticeable feature
of life aboard the Asmara Maru,
which with the Italian liner, Conte
Verde was used as an exchange
ship in the repatriation of United
States and Canadian citizens.
A poXtly business executive who
had lost 70 pounds and nearly died
OF malnutrition in Hong Kong
smiled ruefully and observed:
The part I really mind is the
necessity Of buying a whole new
wardrobe"
After experiences like this mans
and those the others endured. the
passengers took shipboard life in
their stride and laughed at having
to launder their own clothes, sleep
on deck and line up at am. for a
few cups of water.
Gave Up Privileges.
Ranking diplomats, business men
and mission leaders voluntarily took
steerage hunks giving women and
children the upper deck privileges.
Those with cabin facilities made
an afternoon social function out
of the bath hour, inviting as many
guests as possible daily.
Mrs. Joseph C. Grew. wife of the
Ambassador. entertained on an
average of five guests a day through
out the long voyage.
Tears flowed only once. Enter
ing the narrows of this harbor. some
farsighted passengers yelled Hey
there's a ship flying the American
flag"
She was a rusty, salt-encrusted
tanker, but the Stars and Stripes
were flying at her masthead.
Whistle Saluted.
Her whistle saluted as our ship
approached. Handkerchiefs f1ut-
tered as some returned the greeting
And many dabbed their eyes at the
sight of the National Emblem.
Typical Of the fortitude OF all was
the behavior of James Thereon
Ward, who one day will have a COM
plicated passport.
James was born OF American
parents The ship was japanese

were permitted to govern ourselves.
That was the secret of our happiness
in detention. We ran ourselves. The
American way of life prevailed inside
the camp.
Learned American History.
In five months of internment l
learned more American history than
in my school years. Some of it was
made before my eyes and I partici-
pated in it. The disordered throng
of 5000 persons herded into the
oldest university of the Orient be-
came an organized community.
At random the Japanese picked
E. A. r. Carroll, Manila insurance
agent, as chairman OF the camps
executives, but the other officers
including q department heads
were chosen by the internees. We
had our own police, more than 200
working 24-hour patrols and sani-
tation and health department with
more than 500 workers.
There was also a sizeable hos
pital and newspaper called Camp
Affairs" published semi-Weekly and
edited by Russell Brines of the As
sociated Press: central kitchen,
community feeding, a fire depart
ment and a sports and music COM
mittee. There were college courses
IN everything from engineering to
Chinese and there was schooling for
the children.
We converted Junk pile into a
vegetable garden which eventually
supplied two-thirds Of the commun-
1tys needs.
Organized Own Clubs.
The internees built a portable
stage, weekly entertainments were
held, fund for indigents was estab-
hshed and there were religious serv-
ices for all sects. There even was
a Rotary Club and Junior League
If we needed anything we didn't
have we generally made it out of
odds and ends.
The first internees arrived at
Santo Tomas University on January
4. Originally the Japanese said we
were called merely for the purpose
OF registration-which would be a
matter of three days. This was an
understatement. We settled down
to a regular, simple life at the
school.
Every one volunteered for work
for which he was best fitted. A sour
looking businessman enjoyed making
building repairs; debutantes asked
to scrub floors, and bankers volun-
teered for the garbage collection
detail.
Persons who had been living over
we'll began to look and feel better
than they had for years. Many were
tanned and hardened in the sun by
regular exercise. Some waistlines
shrank as much as eight inches.
46o Shared Three Showers.
The way Americans made the best
of what they had came to the rescue
in the crowded conditions. More
than 460 women on one dormitory
floor shared three showers which
internees themselves built. In my
room there were "a other women

been exchanged along with other
Americans for Japanese repatriated
from the United States.
The water cure simply is a method
Of forcing quantities of water down
the throat of the victim until he Is
unconscious and in a semi-drowning
condition.
Asked for a Drink.
KoQns said they tried it once and
I tainted"
Somewhat apologetically he ex-
planned that he had chronic heart
condition.
"A few days later, beating my
back and soles of my feet with rub
Der hose, they said needed more
water, but at the last minute they
decided otherwise.
We'll, sir" said Koons, "just to
show them I wasn't scared I said
l really was thirsty after so much
talking and asked for a small drink.
He said he had the satisfaction of
overhearing his tormentors remark
that that was the first time any,

conditions were about the same with

OF 80 square feet.
The camp had towns such as
"Shantytown" and "Glamorville, 3"
the latter being regarded as choice
real estate. Signs like Fifth Ave-
nue." Broadway" Market Street"
and "Piccadilly" appeared and some
nostalgia soul put up one saying,

Individual shacks could be used

Saw Few japanese.
Then we reported to the room
monitors who were responsible for
our presence and behavior to the
higher officials who were answer
able to the Japanese.
Generally we saw no japanese
except few guards wandering
about in slippers watching the busi-
nesslike doings of their incompre-
hensible prisoners.
Santo Tomas was selected because
1t had a campus of 30 acres and was
distant from any military objectives.
An American air raid in Janu-
ary brought an anti aircraft bar
rage closely around us, necessitat-
ing the use of gun on the roof Of
bur building.
The japanese insisted that we
were held in protective custody but
any infraction of the rules brought
definite retribution. Minor offenses
resulted in the cancellation of priv
ileges.
Three British seamen escaped
and were recaptured. They were
executed.
The camp population averaged s.
600. all Americans except 800 Brit
ish and Dutch. In addition there
were $500 free outside.
The welfare committee established
separate camp for mothers with
infants.
Fed Unbalanced Diet.
The Japanese ordered the STOP

outside the university by the Phil
ippine Chapter OF the American
Red Gross in April and organized a
Japanese sponsored Red Cross.
A central kitchen served meals
twice 6aily. Breakfast was cracked
wheat, rolls and coffee, but by the
middle of March the mill for cereal
was reserved for the army and flour
for rolls was exhausted.
The dinner menu was meat stew
once a week, beans many ways,
macaroni, sweet potatoes, rice, eggs
and green vegetables once a week.
Dessert was served twice q week.
There was chicken on Sunday, and
Turkey on Washington's Birthday
Usually there was plenty, but the

found 1T difficult to purchase

The japanese were careful about
health conditions with 100 per
cent vaccinations and inoculations
which resulted in the virtual elm
ination OF communicable diseases.
I served in the hospital, doing VOL

asked us: How can you Americans

Apparently they were unable to
