Something came over the Japs on
Christmas afternoon. To our won

ducks, for what was now more
than 400 prisoners, and each OF us
was given an apple. The ducks
went into our soup and carefully,
scientifically, Major Gen. George
F. Moore saw to it that each man
in our squad got his proper length
of silver. We ate our Christmas
dinner together. were grateful for
it. and hoped that it would marx
a turning point in our treatment.
But there was no change, We
continued to be forced to work to
get an occasional extra spoon OF
rice, and we weighed that extra
nourishment against the strength
we were spending. The beatlngs
continued, usually at the latrine,
where there was always line
so aggravated had become our
kidney conditions.
I had been hungry night and day
since the S art of the wa ye2r
before. Food became a mama
with all of us. We woke up each
morning with hunger paramount
in our minds, ate our rice and not
water and were as hungry after 1t
was finished as before, yearned
for food through the long day, and
went to sleep to dream Of food.
Every time during the night when
we would have to go to the latrlne
and risk a beating we woke TO
the realization that we were starv-
ing; that we must find nourish-
ment.
Our bodies had long since con-
sumed all the human fats stored
up by nature to provide for this
very contingency. Ou- energies
were now consur ing the very
muscular tissues Of our bodies.
Our weekly baths in the common
bathing tank were shocking spec

Our labors had even used up the
inner muscle of our buttocks. The
skin of. our buttocks just hung
down the backs OF our skeletonized
legs like deep pockets. But we
were beyond all modification over
our appearance. There vas moth
ing in our mind except food. The
lush banquets we dreamed OF at
night only made the awakening to
reality that much worse.
Revolving Gift
Early in January, 1943, We re-
ceived something, from our cap
tors which under any other cir
cumstance would have been a re-
voting gift. The Japs maintained
slaughter house near Karenko,
and a shipment Of cattle had been
sent there to be turned into some
sort of canned meat for the jap
Army. This day in question we
received quantity of animal
stomachs, ingestines and lungs.
We ate this nauseating visce-a
greedily, hoping not so much to
build up our strength but simply

best Christmas we could scrape

of 1912 thus became more than a
holiday; it became hook or

Col. William F. Braley had some
how managed to save his violin
from the Japs. His playing often
was a great solace to US in the
barracks and, fine MUSICIAN that
he was, he formed and became
leader Of good choir made up OF
the prisoners.
We had no song books but, hap

the words of some of the more IA
