tizira zaradi ponovnega stetja
glasov councilmanskih kandi-

10 maj Mr.. Debevcu navedem
sledeca dejstva. Prvic je ponov-
no stetje glasov nekaj obicajne-
ga, zlasti kjer je razlika zelo
majhna. (4O glasov). Drugic:

zelo slabo luc ma mole nasprot-

To so torej vzroki gospodje,
ne pa natolcevanje, da Sc je po-
novno stetje vrsilo izkljucno v
slovenskih precinktih, kajti, Slo-
venci SO kot narod, posteni in

Colo, U.S.A."
Dne "a. septembra smo zapu-
still Okinawo in Sc podali v Ru-
memo morje yellow Sea-. Pc
sestih dneh yoznje smo izkrcali
prvo divizijo marinov v Tient-
sinu, Kitajsko. Tam je bilo zelo
hladno. Pronasel sem tudi, da je
kitajski denar skoro brez vred-
nosti. Ia en- ameriski dollar sc
dobi 1900 kitajskih. Kvort ruske
vodke stane pet tisoc dolarjev,
seveda kitajskih.
IL Tientsina smo Sc podali v
Manilo ma Filipinih. Use mesto
je ena sama velika razvalina.
Tam je inflacija prve vrste in
vse Gene SO zelo visoke. Pc mo-
jem mnenju je bila Manila pred
vojno zelo lepo mesto; sal je tu-
di nosila ime "The Pearl of the
Tropics" V zalivu Mantle sem
videl mnogo japonskih ladij po-
topljenih plitvi vodi. Meni Sc
kar eudno zdi, da je Japonska
imela toliko ladij v enem prista-
niscu. V resnici bi Sc lahko zaliv
Mantle imenoval "pokopalisce
japonske mornarice."
IL Mantle smo odpluli v Hong
Kong, Kitajsko. Vsi smo bill ne
kako veseli, ker smo vedeli, da
je Hong Kong britiska posest in
da sta tam dive prav lepi mesti,
Victoria in Kawloon. Upali smo,
da dobimo tam vsaj emo ''liber-
ty," pa Sc nj mic takega zgodilo.
Neko jutro smo dospeli V Kaw-
Iloon in sno tam vkrcali 13. XII

odrinemo njo proti Tientsinu.

vsega tega? Pc pravici receno,

Maj Sc omenin, kaksni so XII

znam. Povprecno SO visoki po
pet cevljev in tehtajo po kakih

nemsko in japonsko. Obleceni so
slabo in dosti jih je bosih. Ia
hrano dobivajo riz dvakrat ma

gorko. Torej, to je kitajski vo-
