Tells Status of Japanese Raids (Continued from page 1) a few moments the alarm went and we all put on coats and went to the basement, ‘There was a gray haze of bomb smoke in the low land sround Yali Soon were joined by mabout 15 students and in a few moâ€" ments the Chinese planes went up from the field to the north, But the damage had been done and we wonâ€" dered who was suffering now, "Frank Hutchins had been listenâ€" ing to the radio at 1:30 when the report came in that bombers had left Canton flying north at 11;45. We have no idea why the alarm was not given here, but these must have been the same planes for they arâ€" rived right on time. The children behave wellâ€"at such times, but it is not easy for them, Ellen picked up the precious dolls, and Peggy took m story book, but the students led off in games which really took away the strain. ‘The kitten getting herâ€" self thoroughly blacked up was fun. PAGE EIGHT "The story as we have pieced it together was something like this: Since Nanking is evacuating almost everyone, the train= and roads are full of people coming this way and a train due at that time had many important officials on it. This the Japanse must have known, for the train came to the outskirts of town, waited about ten minutes and then proceeded into the station. It unâ€" loaded and as the people were passâ€" ing through the station and collectâ€" ing baggage, six or seven bombs fell on both sides of the station withâ€" in the radius of about half a city block, but as far as I know, none of the passengers were hurt. The chief damage was done through a direct hit on a hotel, one of the flimsy kind apt to be found near railway staâ€" tions, but full of people and with a wedding feast in session. Some warehouses were hit, and a lot of good oil leaked away, but there were no serious fires. The reports seem to be that about 30â€"40 were killed and 100 rather seriously wounded, while 40 or so houses went down from the concussion. If this is read by any who know Mr. Nelde and Changsha, you will appreciate what it was like when I say that he found eight pieces of shrapnel in his yard. He was at the °Y‘ or down town at the time. No one knows why the warning was not given in Changsha at this time, but each day since then there have been warnings, at noon on Thursday, 3 p.m. on Friday and toâ€" day at 11:00. Each time the deâ€" fending planes, 7â€"11 of them have gone up promptly and have soared around for about an hour.

One diptheria has gone home and the tube is out of the other one. An old man of about 66, came with the tale that he had not been able to swallow a drop of water for five days. We thought of carcinome, but it turned out to be a stricture of the asophagus following an acid burn forty years before. He knew just the size of what he could swallow, but he had foolishly taken of a dish of bamboo shoots and liver, which had stuck. He was willing to have us do anything, so we turned plumbâ€" ers and removed the impacted food, and he is again greatful to be able to eat. Now the job is to consult with the brass man and get some dialaâ€" tors made so that we can try to diaâ€" late stricture. Dr. Ling‘s opinion was that there was not much use in saving his life for all he did was to sit at home and smoke opium, but lo comes a day, and that it was rather too bad that the bombs could not select the ones they killed. I was glad to have this case just now, for my cla«s of fifth year students could see it and everything went well. The hospital is filling up more and more with wounded, mostly the severer cases which cannot be taken care of in the military hospitals. I have only one so far, a women who was hit through the mastoid by a shrapnel ~or â€"some â€"small object during the bombing and susâ€" tains an inner ear injury with markedâ€" deafness and attacks of vomiting and dizziness. She has no signs of meningitis yet, and we will Xâ€"ray tomorrow and decide what to do next. The fourth floor, roof part of the hospital, has been opened again to receive wounded, a thing we hate to do in winter, for there is not heat, but it eannot be helped. As far as that goes, coal is scarce and expensive this year, and there is none anywhere in the hospital, schools or dormitories, except a few small stoves in the examining rooms, dental office, and I am glad to say my clinic. We have to have a sterâ€" ilizer going all the time, and it is now heated on a small coal stove, instead of the charcoal burner. "I wish I had more definite inâ€" formation to pass on to you about the situation in general, or even acâ€" curate details about Changsha. The evacuating people from Nankin are pouring into Changsha by every kind of conveyance. Too hundred cars are supposed to have come in a day or two and Burton Rogers in the course of a 12 mile bicycleâ€"ride to the east of Changsha, counted 45 coming in yesterday.

As the Nanking people come in, the roads are also dotted with the hand carts loaded with the belongings of the country. R Each group of people has its parâ€" ticular problems now, and they do seem to be working hard to solve them as best they can. The Central hospital of Nanking has been empâ€" tied of all but a few doctors and nurses and about twenty and the student nurses, of them have been sent onto e Two days ago Miss Poa, the head of the nursing school and Dr, Sun, head of the hospital arrived by car and went on to Hankow where conâ€" ferences will be held to decide what to do next. There seemed to be three alternatives, to transport the whole school and staff to Chungking or Chengtu and rest up the selfool thereâ€"to set up a military unit somewhere andâ€" let the girls learn nursing by practicing on soldiers, or to transfer the girls toâ€"other schools and the teachers and medical staff to \nfl as a mobile unit wherever they are needed. Here in Changeha they tried to fl:g out whether they could be accomodated at Hsiangâ€"ysa and the Union Hospitals. ‘The loads that the responsible leaders are carrying must be almost overwhelming for in addition to planning to the best of their ability, they are continually having to deal with men who have not kept pace with progress and are consequently not to be relied upon. There is still a lot ofâ€"the old war lord jealousy and the soldiers are very unevenly prepared and equipped. The men from Kwangsi and Kwangtung to the south are very excellent while those who have been under the northern war lords are often pretty poor stuff. Patriotism has alâ€" ways burned brightly in the south, and the leaders, particularly Pai Chung Hsi, have been lending every effort toward an independent China for years and are very antiâ€"Japanâ€" Yesterday Mr. Stanley Jones finâ€" ally arrived, a whole week late, for he had not been able to get air or train passage to bring him from Chaengtu. Finally through the inâ€" tervention of Dr. H. H. Kung he got a ticket on the train, and was in his compartment for 24 hours, making a 280 mile trip to Changâ€" sha. The isles were so jammed that it was almost impossible to get from oneâ€" part of the car to the other. . In the morning there seemed to be no hot water, so he investigated the thermos bottle that had been filled for him in Wuchang the day before and found chicken EXPERIENCED NURSE UNDER 35 FOR WANTED: BOOKKEEPER.

He will leave Wednesâ€" day by plane for Hongkong and in the meantime I hope to hear him "This noon I was with him at the Greene‘s for lunch, together with several times more. This noon the discussion followed the lines of what Christmas could really do at a time like this and in particular situation. He spoke first of the writing of the open letter to Japan which I asked you to look up in the: Christian Century during September. "This was followed by a second letter asking the people of the differâ€" ent nations particularly the Chris tians to withdraw economically from Japan. As Japan had withdrawn herself from the peaceful nations of the earth, she should know what that attitude and isolation brings with it. Banetions by a government would probably niean that many peoâ€" ple would not willingly cooperate and so it would have the effect of a punitive measure, rather than a consequence of Japan‘s own actions. ‘Recently he has written a third| letter which he has shown:to Dr. H. H. Kung and otherâ€"leaders for their approval before releasing it His second letter brought up strongly protests on the part of the pearce movement leaders in America who said that it would tend to bring on war. He analyzes their attitude as being one which wanted to keep America out of war, rather than to stop the war already, in progress and devastating China every day it continues, and promote real peace. In this letter he pointed out some of the things the western nations llll.lt‘ do in order to make peace in the far east possible. One of these he was sure was that America must do away with \its _ discrimination against admitting orientals. Others had to do with exterritoriality and to the inequalities. He is a powerful and straight thinker, and I do hope you can follow anything he says or writes. â€" The bottom of the page is almost here.

Laterâ€"word came that the money would be available within three pleted as soon as possible Mayor Portilla with the aid of Supervisor Steele made preparations in orâ€" der that construction could begin immediately. Ten days ago an engineer was secured to make the final survey. Last week the Mayor and Super+ visor visited the regional WPA adâ€" ministration in Chicago, where it was learned that they knew very little about the project and did not know when the money, if any, would be forthcoming. Andso, as many things go these days, a recession has set in on the sewer project for Highwood. the undersigned© Raymond H. Geer, Execuâ€" tor mAd Clara G.
