LETTER FROM CHINA TELLS SLAUGHTER OF NIPPONS BY CHINESE Eugene, Ore., June 17. (Spl.) A gory battlefield, strewn with decomposed bodies and skele tons of Japanese troops, slaugh tered by vengeful Chinese, has been described in a letter re ceived here from the war fields of the Orient. "About 10 miles out of Shan ghai we drove over a road where the Chinks had ambushed about 4,000 Japs with no warn ing or mercy." It read "The Chi nese , went to work on them while the Japs were asleep when the Chinks swooped down and killed most of them. About 1,000 got away and the rest still lay on the field in advanced stages of decomposition. "Dogs and crows feasted on the dead, eating their fill and lying asleep 'til they could eat some more. In the ditches on each side of the road were skele tons with the clothes and flesh all gone up to the neck, and from there on the crows and dogs would not eat. This could been seen on all sides for about a mile. We soon got sick and went back to Shanghai." The graphic first-hand ac count was written to Mrs. Pearl Williams by her son, Edward, serving on a freighter in far eastern waters. GATE OPENED FOR PLANE DELIVERIES Washington, June 17.
