recting a nursing staff in Japa-
nese internment camp hospital for
Occidental missionaries and business
people in occupied China is any
thing bat enjoyable, especially when
the Nipponese commanders invoke
an edict that there must be no
emergencies without 48 hours
notice"
That was just one of the prob
lens which faced small, gracious
Miss Alice M Powell, who for many
years was superintendent of large
mission-operated hospital in China
before Pearl Harbor.
Returned on Gripsholm.
Miss Powell recently returned to
the United States on the exchange
liner Gripsholn on what may have
been its last voyage as a refugee
ship from the Far East.
In telling her story, Miss Powell
related that life under the Japanese
was comparatively free of restric-
tions for foreigners in China until
the early part of 1912.
Then Nippon's land, sea and all
victories had so convinced the au-
thorities in Tokyo of ultimate Japa-
nese success against the United
States and Britain that all foreign
ers in occupied territory were herded
into military or civilian concentra-
ton camps, depending upon their
occupations while free.
Lacked Medical Equipment.
Soon after the opening of this
camp, described as one of the larg-
est in occupied China, part Of one
of the buildings was set aside fol
the sick. This temporary hospita
was well-staffed with doctors ane
nurses but possessed almost nothing
in equipment or drugs.
When, for instance, a patient.
condition demanded serious opera.
