The first was In the battle OF

the second was In the Kunlunkwan
campaign At the end of 1899. The
third was At Changsha.
CHINESE BEGIN USING
MECHANIZED UNITS
T,HE Taierchwang victory, which
= has long since been oversha-
dowed by other and greater sue
ceases, deserves TO be remembered
today as the first severe blow
which q poorly-equipped Chinese
army was able to deal the jap
anese. 1t proved that. with good
strategy. the Chinese could throw
back the invaders a. they have
done on more than one occasion
since.
The Kunlunkwan campaign, and
particularly the battle of the Kun
Ian pass, provided the first real
test of China's motorized units.
Tanks made their way over the
pass after an artillery lombard
ment of the Japanese positions and
following severe fighting. the bat
tie was won. The Japanese suf-
fered tremendous losses, but the
victory was chiefly welcome In
Chinese military circles ~ proof
of the striking power Of the few
mechanical units of the Chinese
army.
The Chinese celebrated the
changsha victory as proving that
the japanese are far from being
able to keep open long lines of
communication when they launch
an offensive at a considerable dis
lance from their main bases.

Of China's continued resistance has
been the formidable size Of her
army even when 1t has been poorly

II can be stated on the authority
of the Chinese war minister, Gen.

a front extending 1000 miles.
Although the time has not yet
come for large-scale counter-st-
tacks to deal what the Chinese be-

With more than 5000 already
enrolled as medical technologists

DR.. Albert McCown, Director of
the Medical and Health Service of
the American Red Cross, said that
more inquiries have been received
this month than in the preceding
five months.
At the same time, he announced
that the Red Cross is preparing
to send circulars to more than g.
900 dental assistants throughout
the country in an effort to enlist
sufficient number for service as
the Army needs them.

The names of the 5000 already

to- the commanders of the nine
Army corps areas.
When the need arises for addi-
tional technologists in the armed

that they are already serving with
the Army. "We know that there

pointed out.
None of the applicants are ac-

PUBLIC PROTECTION
PLANS FOR SCHOOLS

Intensive plans of the most de-
tailed nature for the protection of
the lives of the children of the pub
lie schools throughout the State,
have been prepared and are being
transmitted to all the schools, Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor has an
nounced.
In conjunction with Colonel
Henry S. Barrett, Director of Air
Raid Precautions Of the State, the
plan was worked out by commit
tee of County School Superintend-
ents, following a meeting by the
entire body Of County Superintend-
ents. the Presidents of the State
Teachers Colleges, and the mem
bers of the State Department of
Education.
The tentative plan agreed upon,
which covers protection of both
life and property in the schools,
follows series of active steps in
defense training by the public
schools of the State over the past
year and a half, Governor O'Conor
declared. Other programs that
have been taken up as part of de-
fense activities include agriculture
al protection; nutrition and health,
physical fitness and cooperation
with other defense agencies, such
as the Red Cross, the Salvage
Committee, etc.
Based on suggestions from the
United States Office of Civilian
Defense, the Maryland School
Plan covers every phase of possible
emergency needs, from what to do
when the air raid warning sounds,
until the "all-clear" signal is
sounded. Special warning signals
are recommended, to give notice of
impending raids, and one of the
absolutely definite regulations is
that no pupils are to be permitted
to leave buildings or to return to
classrooms or to their homes until
the all-clear signal is given.
Detailed information about type
of refugees to be selected, what to
do about incendiary bombs, and
what not to do, and suggested
equipment are covered fully. AS
The Hagerstown globe., 1942-01-16

suggested equipment. the schools
are to have available on all floors
fire eXtinguisher, a supply of
sand, reserve supply of water and
first aid equipment. Under the
latter heading, every school, no
matter how small, must have on
hand an ample supply of first aid
equipment and materials, and
there will be definite place set
aside as a first aid station, and
several teachers and pupils will be
trained in First Aid work. Princi
pals are instructed to make ar
rangements to get in touch quickly
in case of alarm with air raid war
dens; medical and nursing service
OF the local office of Civilian De-
fense; first aid station of the Fire
Departments; first aid stations of
local defense units or Red Cross;
police department., auxiliary police
department.
The complete plan for the schools
will be explained thoroughly over
and over again, Governor O'ConOr
said, to teachers and pupils. Par
ents will be informed that they
will be expected to comply with
the school plans. Among other
things, each school will be asked to
have some plan for identifying
every child in attendance either
by identification card or tag.
A spot m. = is to be prepared,
showing the residence of pupils in
attendance, and an address cata
log will include the names of all
the children. AS the refuge places
are selected, a list of students as
signed to each will be prepared.
Recognizing that activities are
necessary to keep the morale of
the children up, teachers are al
vised to set an example by going
about their normal jobs in as near
ly the usual way as possible. The
principle laid down is that routine
is the best antidote for fear and
hysteria.
