other weapons where improvements are
constantly being developed. This Is
largely because they have little of the
creative to their credit In warfare, as
IN other lines. But they can be de-
pended on to make the fullest use of
everything they have.
When a japanese goes into battle. he
knows that his staff officers have calcu-
lated the precise striking power of his
unit, exactly how it is to be applied, and
his own part in the process. His thinking
has already been done for him. AS sue
cess is the only standard taught, he goes
into the fray convinced of his own divin-
ity and invincibility as tiny part of the
Japanese war machine.
II he is killed-so much the better
he then shares in deification of all
dead japanese soldiers which is accorded
by his admiring countrymen. Total war
fare to him Is the natural state of things.
There are desertions among the Jap
anese ranks and isolated cases of their
shooting their officers and going over
to the enemy. But those are rare. One
factor is that they know the Chinese
have not too much time to bother with
prisoners.
The background of the Chinese soldier
is vastly different. He has been reared
in an intensely competitive society where
his combative instincts have been mel
lowed by Chinese ideas of fatalism and
propriety.
In the old days only coolies were SOL
diers in China and mercenaries at that.
Consequently the Chinese civilian gains
little prestige by becoming a soldier, for
the old ideas persist. In Japan only the
mobiles were armed in the old days, so
that the poorest japanese coolie takes on
something OF nobility in his own mind
when he is given an army rifle.
Yet the battle for Shanghai was a
miracle OF Chinese bravery. The strategy
At Taierchaung was masterpiece of
Chinese military cunning. The endur-
ance Of the Chinese Communist guerril-

him, the man who stands up and slugs it
out just for the fun Of slugging Is akin
to beasts. His feeling for war runs more
to superior strategy and clever maneu-
vers. That battle won with the least
fighting is the best won, according to
Chinese ideas.
The Chinese goes into battle with
whatever gun his officer hands him. It
may have been made many years ago
IN America, Russia, Czechoslovakia, Ger
many. England or France. The ammu-
milton OF his comrade next him may not
Mt his gun. He has few machine guns.
Here again the ammunition required
may be OF several different patterns and
calibers.
China entered the war with practically
every known design Of rifle, machine
gun and artillery piece, including some
OF the Oldest in use. Her planes were
partly American, partly Italian, Her
tanks came from all over the world.
Her munitions factories were all located
IN the Yangtze Valley, which the jap
anese captured or destroyed within the
hrst year and half OF warfare, and
China has not been able to replace
them entirely farther inland.
Whereas the Japanese have only two
or three models of trucks in their army,
the Chinese have had to use whatever
they could get abroad, for China had
no motorcar factories. The confusion
among the supply departments for such
things as tires and spare parts and the
consequent ineff1ciency, can easily be
imagined. Supplies are scarcer now that
the Burma road is gone.
But still the poorly armed Chinese
armies attack. Those of us who have
seen them in action still say: Give
the Chinese troops the same arms and
equivalent training and leadership to
build up their confidence and they will
fight individual and collective rings
around the Japanese.
They have done 1t many times Is II Is.

Nations iron. This year WPB has asked
the area to get out 100000 tons; by
far the largest on record WPB will get
it. But it's hard to visualize. That much
ore would fill hotel OF 100000 rooms
That's hard to see. The biggest hotel
in the world has only 5000 rooms.
These ore men have peculiar prob
lem, compared to other war industries.
Their peak working season is limited to
the shipping season. In winter, the
Great Lakes fill up with ice and the
ships stop. The mines go on stock
piling ore, and repairing-but the co.
100000 tons must be out by the.last week
of November.
That adds plenty to the nerve strain
Last year ships moved 245 days. This
year Is a guess. But shipping opened
this season the earliest on record
March 26. Boats fought through late
blizzards, stuck in ice jams. But the
ore moved.
Ice Breakers Ordered Out.
This iron kingdom is so much No l
concern right now that Washington, via
long distance. Is showing through a small
fleet OF ice breakers In the hope OF keep
ing the water lanes open later than
ever before.
Right now, in Washington, other men
are talking OF putting $50, 900 900 into q
plant that would double check the safety
Of Lake Superior ore. The purse would
reinforce a railroad across the Michi-
gan peninsula, and put in new docks.
There's curious element in these war
busy acres out Of Duluth. Compared to
other war-industry areas there is nc
housing problem. There are scarcely any
new people here. That's because the
mines the railroads, the docks, the ships
have been SO carefully fitted together
that the operation takes a surprisingly
small number of workers.
1t takes big money to run this iron
business. And the big money has been
here for years: Oliver Iron Mining "a
United States Steel subsidiary, Pick
ands-Mather, M. A. Hanna, Republic
Steel, the Great Northern Railway, and
the Duluth, Mesabi 81 Iron Mountain
Railway (another United States Steel
sideline).
Their officers saw the handwriting on
the wall some time back So they began
spending money-for locomotives, ore
cars, new tracks, steam shovels They're
separate companies but they've fitted to-

DULUTH-The stranger in Duluth
has difficulty. It's hard to get sleep
It's practically a one-street town. So
the stores, movies, office buildings, hotels
string along one avenue, and that ave-
nue. strings along the harbor.
The harbor churns day and night with
the dogged, noisy fight to get iron ore
out for the war machine. Day long the
great ore boats slip by. Night long they
toot in the dark. Fog horns puncture
the night and ore trains scream into
town from the iron ranges.
Just one persons attempt to get some
sleep-mine-will give you as good an
idea as any Of what goes on here.
1t was like this the first night:
Awakened just after midnight Some
boat moaning, "Whoo- whoo" in the har-
Dor, practically under my window, she
cut past the breakwater, great, gray
giant of the lakes. She "whoo- -whoo-ed"
a good-by and vanished into fog bank.
I checked on her the next morning,
just to get q notion of the speed up
here. She docked at 10 pm. The dock
master knew exactly when she'd arrive
because her captain had radio telephoned
from the 500 locks. The dock hands
were ready. FloodNghts bathed the dock
and the work crews. There was train
waiting, loaded with the rusty-gray iron
ore. Her matches rolled back and she
took $4,000 tons Of the stuff into her
big, squat belly. In exactly 2 hours
and Is minutes she cleared the docks
and was on her way, full steam ahead.
That happened again at 2:30 am.
Again at am. At $50 am. I gave
up and went down for coffee.
Proud Of Shipping Rate.
I went down to meet men spouting
statistics like so many adding machines.
They're SO proud of their production
and shipping rate up here, at the west
end of Lake Superior; they charter mil
lions of tons, hundreds of locomotives,
miles of ore trains, hundreds Of steam
shovels and ore trucks.
There are six great fields OF iron up
here in the scrubby hills around Lake
Superior. Three in Minnesota. Three
in Michigan. The ore is dug on the
range, hauled by rail to the docks and
then siphoned out through six huge
harbors for the trip down to the Pitts
burgh area, where steel is made: Steel
for ships, guns, subs, tanks.
This area produces SO per cent Of the

Japanese and if so how to best advantage
and against which enemy.
The secrets of Japanese success are
largely their fanaticism and their un-
firing willingness to test every weapon
thoroughly before 1t goes into action.
Their soldiers fight and die like automa-
tions, so thorough is this training.
They do not have all the latest weap-
ons, and many times those they do have
cannot be Of the best quality. Yet they
know the exact theoretical effectiveness
of each tactic, movement or device
against any specified enemy. Human
lives, human labor and routine staff
calculations are cheap in Japan. They
use all without stint.
Japan may be expected to fall far
behind the United Nations in this war

gether their operations to point that
reminds me of a jeweler putting together
watch. The ore cars are just the right
length to spill into the ore bins on the
railroad docks. The ore bins are Just the
right width to spill into the ore boat
matches. Steam shovels are just the
right size to fill an ore car with two or
three scoops.
The most dramatic sight in the whole
area is the "big pit" It's an iron mine
that's just big hole in the ground-some
65 miles northwest from Duluth. The pit
is 21a miles long, 1865 feet deep and from
a half mile to mile wide.
Sixty Miles Of Track.
The whole pit is just iron ore. Steam
shovels churn over the floor, chew up
the stuff and dump it into ore cars. It's
so big there are go miles of railroad track
threading it's floor and sides. It shades
from rust to gray to blue-grag. Actually
it looks like the Grand Canyon.
1t started out as seven separate mines,
seven holes III the ground. But they grew
until they finally Joined. You can't see
where one mine stops and another begins.
But the operators have an easy agree
ment thAt helps rush the ore out. Sup
pose o1e 0peratcr, by mistake, tA1es out
some ore On his neishbor's mine: he
phones. they swap and no hard feelings.
There are two huge, complicated times
saving devices that mean much to the
war. They're not new but its plain lucky
they've been worked out.
Both stem from one fact: The ore
can't be shipped like so many potatoes.
It has to be certain mix" depending
on to which steel plant it's going. So the
mixing is done en- route-by the rail-
roads,
just as the ore cars leave the mines,
chemists hop aboard and take samples:
AS many as 100 samples from five ore
cars. The train chugs out for the docks,
IS miles away, and on the way, the
chemists make their analyses and phone
them ahead to the docks The train ar
rives at the docks and the dock master
knows just how much iron, silica, phos-
phorus and so on is in each car.
That's spectacular show at the Great
Northern yards, where they have tracks
for 200 ore cars at one time. They use
A locomotives just to shunt those cars
around for mixing ore. They say they've
made 80 different mixes at one time or
another.
