can war prisoners in Japan are
being used as Coolies to perform
dirty work on the waterfronts.
Japanese live in constant dread
of aerial attack, wnicn mey ju.iy
expect in 3944.
Strict blackouts are enforced
nightly In Tokyo, Kobe, Yokoha
mn and other cities.
Strict censorship withholds all
news of Japanese military re
verses for the people.
This, in part, was the picture
of Japan given me by an alert,
intelligent Chinese girl who has
just arrived in Chungking after
a difficult round trip to and from
Japan.
"Tokyo Is full of funny type air
raid shelters," she saiu. tvery
few yards of every street you see
holes in the pavement. They are
about five feet deep and five feet
square, with the top uncovered.
Beside each one' is a sign which
says "air raid shelter four per
sons." Prisoners Worked
She said she saw American
prisoners of war doing Coolie
work on the docks.
"Outside Kobe I saw American
prisoners in sampans. They were
dressed In rags, and were loading
coal steamers.
"I couldn't speak to them, of
course, but I observed them from
the deck of a ship. The Japanese
told me American soldiers cap
tured in the southwest Pacific
were being used as Coolies In
practically every part of Japan."
She said the Japanese are con
vinced their home islands will
be attacked from the air this
year.
"Friends all advised me to leave
Japan before spring. One girl,
a member of a prominent Japa
nese family, said: "We're afraid
the same thing will happen to
Tokyo that's happening to Ber
lin," Wounded Seen '
Everywhere In Japan, she said,
the visitor is conscious of the num
erous war wounded.
"People on the street must
bow to them to show their re
spect. They must also bow to
the many little boxes containing
the ashes of Japanese war dead.
"It is not an uncommon sight

Here is a view of the vast Interior of an "LST" eraft as it evacuates
a cargo of wounded marines and other service men from r Pacific
Isle. En route emergency treatment is applied. And, at base hospital,
all the skills of modern medics are put into play to save lives and
limbs. Your cooperation Is urgently needed to carry ou this work.
Blood plasma, medical supplies and equipment, food are all packed
in paper containers made from reprocessed WASTE PAPER. Clear
your conscience with the facts. Are you doing all yon can to help
the boys who are fighting for you?

to see people carrying such boxes
on trains and trams.
"At Kobe, I saw a funeral cere
mony lasting all afternoon. Ap
parently it was for a general."
She said there were few men on
the streets of Japanese cities ex
cept boys under 17, the wounded,
the aged and a few businessmen.
She said there appeared to be
an "obvious distrust" among Japa
nese for their German allies.
Warning; Issued
"I was repeatedly warned not
to talk to Germans. In the Im
perial hotel at Tokyo I was told
to be most careful of my conver
sation lest I be overheard by Ger
mans." Miss Chen said she saw noth
ing in Japan to support the theory
that Japan may collapse internal
ly at an early date.
V "Instead," she said, "it is my
impression that the Japanese will
make a long, hard fight. The
average Japanese is reasonably
well fed and still confident that
the Japanese armies are winning.
"They have all been Impressed
that if they do not win, they will
be crushed as a nation."

London, April 21 lPi Princess
Elizabeth observed her 18th birth
day in accordance with wartime
austerity today by watching the
grenadier guards, of which she Is
colone.-ln-chlef, change guard
somewhere In the country. .
She was accompanied by the
king and queen, the Duke of
Gloucester, the princess royal, and
Princess Margaret, and received
a silk replica of the king's colors
of the first battalion as a birth
day present from the regiment.
United States officers were
among the small group of guests
who witnessed the ceremony. - .
From this day on, should her
father die, Elizabeth would be
come queen of England. Had this
occurred before today, the Duke

regent.

the absence of the king from his
realm. The princess henceforth
will have a small personal ataff

Communicable
Diseases Gain
Communicable disease in Ore
gon was somewhat more preval
ent this far in 1944 than in the
corresponding 1943 period, this
week's health bulletin published
by the Oregon state board of
health reveals. The report stated
that although the Influenza epi
demic which began in December
carried over in January and l eb-
mon children's diseases, consider
ed as an entity, fell off by almost
CI per cent, in spite of he.lJ"
that increases were scored oy
two of them chicken pox ana
whooping cough.
Venereal Diseases Gain
"Venereal disease totals for the
period were up by 98 per cent; tu
berculosis rose by 1 per cent,
er-ai-Ut fuvsr VUXB UD 713 DPf CCUt
and poliomyelitis was up 50 per
cent. The actual numen
crease for polio was, however,
only four cases.
"Pneumonia, which is not strict

anM ran tha ntof-nii ..,i I ciw hut which is nevertheless re-
up, other communicable disease I portable in Oregon, rose by only

"The over-all total of cases of ! """ted incidence of the disease
communicable disease reported in I was regisTcreo 81 "I" '
the first three months of 1944 is
12,915, representing a 20.5 per
cent increase over the same per
iod last year. The Oregon state
board of health's monthly morbid
ity table, published ln the current
Issue of the Health Bulletin, re
veals that children's diseases in
general ran counter to this over
all upward trend. The four com-
fluenza wa3 so unusually preval
ent.
"While disease totals for the
first quarter were markedly
above 1943, March's total was
down as compared with March of
last year. The prevalence oi innu-
enza in January accounts for this
discrepancy.
