UNDEFEATED CHINESE DRAWN TOGETHER
275oooooo People Free Country Fight Gome On
By the National

China, with roughly 100000, 900 people
and 100000 square miles of territory,
was uniting and undermining before the
war The japanese invasion has stepped
up the process and brought about some
of the worlds most dramatic upsets.
Under war heat and pressures, opposing
groups within China have been drawn
together, then split by domestic problems,
and again united against a common
enemy. Human migration has taken
place on colossal scale, from unorgan-
lied mass flight before Japanese invasion
to orderly removal of workers and tech
nicians. factories and schools, to safer
western areas. In the wake of the move
ment stream of japanese merchants,
bankers, brokers and other businessmen
has poured from the east into the con-
quered regions and cities, including such
population centers as Marking. Tientsin,
HankoW, Hangchow and Ningpo.
AS the japanese incident" approaches
its sixth anniversary on July 7, the in
vaders control the leading ports of
China's sweeping east coast-Tientsin,

Russian Front

While attention has been largely CEN
tered on the African campaign because
of its rapid pace and potentialities, a
second Dunkirk for Germany has been
steadily growing on the Kuban PENN
sula, where Russian troops are slowly
beating down Axis resistance and forcing
the enems back toward the Black Sea-
where an effort to escape over water will
!, find the Russian Black Sea fleet ready
to take hand.
AS the week ended the Russians were
in possession of Krynskaya, Black Sea
port northeast of Novorossisk, the former
Russian naval base which itself is in i'm
mlnent danger of falling back into Rus
sian hands. The capture of Krymskaya
cut the rail line from Novorossisk to Pro-
toka, which is junction point where
both highways and rail line lead up to
the Kerch Straits, across which the Ger
mans may be forced back into the
Crimea
The heavy Russian offensive took the
initiative away from the Axis, which had
intended to launch a new spring drive
aimed once more at the vital Caucasian
Oil fields. 1t places the Russians between
the German and the Rumanian units and
has made the position OF both almost un-
tenable.
Axis losses have been exceedingly
heavy. at least 1000 having been killed
IN the past few days.
Elsewhere on the continent of Eurone
action was not so heavy and Allied air

of the First World War to back their
argument.
Although the nitrogen mustard gases
are the only known newcomers in the
war gas field since 1918, two products of
American chemists and ADAM
site-rank virtually as new gases, be-
cause they were perfected late in the last
war and their use was limited.
Officers Of the Chemical Warfare
Service say the three most important
gases-"the ones most likely to be used'
are the mustard gases and Lewisite
and phosgene.
The mustards and Lewisite are gases
of the blistering type Actually they are
not true gases. They are oily liquids
which, upon release, slowly change to
colorless vapors. Both as liquids and
vapors they are highly poisonous, caus-
ing severe burns, irritation of the nasal
passages and eyes-sometimes even caus-
ing blindness.
Lime Chloride Neutralizes.
Chloride of lime is used in neutral
ling areas affected by these gases.
Phosgene - and chlorine, too are
classed as ''suffocant" gases. If inhaled
in sufficient quantities., they cause the
lungs to fill up with water, causing suf-
location. Phosgene persists 10 to 80
Misunderstanding for 10 minutes-and
their tactical use is in surprise attacks.
Phosgene is more poisonous than chlor-
inc.
Alkalis can be employed to neutralize
their effect in the field
Other gases are adamsite and di-
phenyl-chlorarsine, which are harassing,
sneeze producers; bronlbenzyl-cyanide
which, like choracteo-phenone, is tear
gas; chlorpicrin another suffocant, and
ethyldi-chlorpicrine, which is blisterer
All these are either liquids or solids in
their initial stage. but change to gas,
vapor, or small solid particles upon re-
lease.

Pacific Front

The greatly-increased pace of Amer
lean bombing of the Japanese installa-
tions on kiska and lately on Attu. fur
therest West OF the American possessions
in the Aleutians was explained in a
communique from the Navy Department
Friday afternoon which revealed that
on January %, American forces occupied
Amchitka Island in the Rat group, only
63 miles from Kiska and IL minutes
away by bomber.
Since that occupation, the American
hold has been made firm and an airfield
has been developed from which the
bombing of Attu is made as easy as was
the bombing of Kiska from bases further
east Kiska has been hit in multiple
raids time after time in recent weeks,
presaging greater offensive tactics in the
days to come.
Just as down in the Southwest Pacific
the process of rolling the Japs back has
given the Allied forces a firm foothold
in the Solomons. on New Guinea and
other strategic islands which guard our
supply lines. SO have American outposts
been pushed forward step by step in the
Aleutians until now there remains only
the recovery of Kiska and Attu to bring
about development of a springboard
which will place Paramushiro at the tip
of the Kurelian Islands within range of
our big bombers. Back on October 3,
the Navy announced occupation of Adak
Island in the Andreanof group west of
Unalaska Island and east of Amchitka
although the island was not identified
until Friday. Shortly thereafter the
attacks on Kiska increased in number
just as, since the establishment of the
airf1eld on Amchitka have the raids on
Attu.
The ring about Japan is slowly being
forged a condition which is we'll realized
in Toxic giving rise to such statements
as the Toxic radio report of May that
Japan's reserves of war materials, espe-
cially aircraft are sufficient only for a
short period Of war. then the broad
cast continued, "the war must be carried
on according to our capacity for carrying
on exports and imports. Strength
of production is strongest in America.
With capital and quantity, America
has produced much and is relying on
this. Ships, planes and other things are
being produced at tremendous rate"
This frank statement to the japanese
people, who have already been warned
to prepare themselves for more air raids,
offsets Premier Tojo's boast in Manila
that I'VE are now ready to deal thor
ough and crushing blow at the enemy S
armed power"
All last week the news from the Pa
cific was encouraging. First came the
announcement tn a t

behind them.
Then it was revealed that Kiska had
been bombed 13 times on Saturday and
that several raids had been made on
Attu. Monday there were nine more
raids on Kiska and on Tuesday Attu
was hit with considerable damage done.
Wednesday it was Kiska and Attu both.
the former being attacked six times and
the latter four times.
Down in the southwest it was the same
sort of story. New Guinea. the Kai
Islands, Munda on New Georgia, Rekata
Bay on Santa Isabel. New Britain and
Timor all were attacked in varying force
and the only counterblow was Jap raid
on Port Darwin, in Australia, which did
little damage but cost the Allies a more
than usual number of planes, largely
due to bad weather, however.
From another direction, disturbing to
Toxic, came long-range air-raids on
Japanese installations From bases in
China, planes of the 14th United States
Army Air Force Liberator bombers
blasted Japanese-occupied Hainan Island
In the China Sea and the port of Hal
phong in French Indo-China. Thirty
tons of demolition bombs fell on Hainan
while Mitchell bombers celebrating the
anniversary of their departure from the
United States dropped 10 tons on Hal
phong.
What gives the Japs the jitters is the
fact that Nagasaki and other industrial
centers in Japan also lie within the
range of the big four -motored bombers
taking part in the raids. Following these
raids planes of the 10th Air Force struck
devastatingly at the japanese in Toun-
goo, Burma, wrecking the military head
quarters and blasting installations also
on Diamond Isle, 140 miles southeast
of Rangoon. ...
The 14th Air Force, which has been
active against japanese shipping, sank
two 8,OO0-ton steamers and other smaller
ships and took heavy toll of japanese
planes. In so raids, 1t. Col. Morgan.

one bomber has been lost.
While the armies. navies and air forces
carried on the war against the enemy. in
the potter circles of diplomacy efforts
were being made to heal the breach be-
tween Poland and Russia and to work
out In advance of the end Of the war the
