FOURTEENTH AIR FORCE HEAD
QUARTERS, SOMEWHERE IN CHINA.
The 14th Air Force is beginning
psychological warfare against the Japa-
nese in China, French Indo- China and
Burma, dumping a mass of printed
matter for the first time along with its
bombs.
The immediate objective is to cut at
the foundation of Japanese industry
and transport in the areas under enemy
control, by persuading natives that even
to stay near factory, mine, airfield,
railway yard or warehouse, or to ride a
sampan junk, steamship or train, is to
risk violent death.
But already some of the propaganda
is pointed at undermining the morale
of japanese troops, such as news sheets,
with pictures, printed every 10 days for
distribution over Japanese troop con-
centrations.
The whole destructive record of the
18th has laid the foundation for the
psychological offensive. It's sinking or
damaging of about 100000 tons of ship
ping, mostly small vessels, gives par

Psychological Warfare in Asia

Coucf1ed in the same simple language
Is third leafiet aimed at clearing
Chinese away from Japanese war fac
tories and other installations. 1t has
a drawing showing American planes
bombing an arsenal identified as Japa-
nese by sign on the destroyed gate.
The leafiet is captioned: Get away from
places of military importance to the
japanese" The text, addressed: Dear
Chinese people" tells them that the
Americans are continually raiding tho
japanese in various parts of China.
Similar leaflets have been prepared for
the people of Burma and French Indo-
China. All are the products Of the
China Division of the ONCE of Waf
Information, worked out as to text and
Illustrations in collaboration with mill
tary authorities. The idea Is to keep
the offensive on as dignified plane as
possible. Fundamental Is the aim of
telling the truth, of getting facts TO
the civilian population about what Is
where in the world.
In add1tlon TO the regular news sneet,
Chinese newspaper prints a special
edition rounding up news of interest
to people in the occupied areas. This,
too, is delivered through the bomb
matches of American planes.
Now the presses Of the Owl are grind
ing leaflets out on ordinary western
news print. 1t is imported stuff that
has been boarded in China since the
closing of the Burma road. 1t is not
fine paper, but it costs $4,000 Chinese
dollars for about 5000 sheets. CThe
Chinese dollar is worth about cents.)
Each sheet is big enough to make nine
to twelve leaflets. Thus every leafet
for the paper alone costs at least IL
cents. They are coming out now by
the tens of thousands.

Evidently the baseball season was
about as long then as it is at present,
for on September IL of the same year
we find two local teams-the Nationals
and the Potomacs-crossing bats. The
Star grew rather enthusiastic in it's ac-
count of the forthcoming game as pub
lished on September 8, and went out of
its way, more than SO years ago, to make
prediction which time has fulfilled to
the fullest-that baseball would be "the
American national game"
Following this, however, during the
period of 1861 to 1865, baseball took
quite a slump, since many of the best
players were scattered throughout the
Northern and Southern Armies, but
whenever the troops were assembled a
good game could be witnessed nearly
every day or so. And this was particu-
