Civilians Flee Capital of Pro
vince Before Advancing
Troops Chinese Hold.
Chungking, Dec. 29. (AP)
The main spearhead of a broad
central China Japanese offensive
wu reported In Chinese front
dispatches today to have pierced
to within forty miles north Of
Changsha, capital of Hunan pro
vince and now for the third time
the objective of a major Japan
ese drive.
Civilians were fleeing the city
as the Japanese, reinforced by
several thousand fresh troops,
drew near, after forcing a cross
ing of the Milo river under a
heavy artillery barrage, the dis
patches said.
. It was not known whether a
small American community, com
posed mostly of missionaries, had
withdrawn. Valuable American
property In Changsha Includes
the Yale-in-China university, a
hospital and a medical school.
The Japanese first tried to
seize Changsha in 1939 but were
beaten back short of their goal.
Last summer they captured and
held it for three days before
withdrawing to bases further
north, declaring the purposes of
their thrust had been achieved.
A Chinese communique Issued
here, however, indicated the Chi
nese were holding the broad Jap
anese offensive on most of the
lectors, which stretch across
parts of four provinces.

Breaking of Philippine Morale
By Frightfulness Tactics Seen
Aim in Bombing of Open Manila
Br DeWItt Macktnsle
Wide World War Analyst
The position of the Philippines is Increasingly grim and grave,
but while we shouldn't seek refuge In dim hopes we are not yet
forced to final conclusions regarding the outcome, especially since
the United States navy promises "positive assistance to the defense
of the Philippine islands."
Of course we can accept It as
certain that unless "positive as
sistance" does arrive, the islands
will be temporarily lost. The
Japs are continuing to land
troops in southern Luzon, the
menace to Manila Increases, and
in due course the Invading
weight will become unbearable
if it Isn't halted.
Obviously much depends on
the nature of the aid and how
quickly It arrives. The immedi
ate burden rests on the broad
shoulders of General MaeArthur
and his magnificent little army,
that Is, the problem of hanging
on until help comes over the
horizon of the vast Pacific. That
burden is great, for the Japs are
going all out in an effort to
make a quick killing and they
are doing it without regard to
the laws of humanity.
Gotbbels Cave
Civilians Notice
The deliberate slaughter of
civilians in the defenseless and
open city of Manila by Japanese
bombers gives fresh point to a
threat made Just before Christ
mas by Nazi Propaganda Minis
ter Coebbels. He declared that
Germany, Italy and Japan are
"going all the way" In the war
and, being forced to defend their
lives, "they will do it In a man
ner which knows no sentimental
considerations."
Now the Japs have Interpret
ed his meaning in a bloody holo
caust of innocents. They have
staged a studied exhibition of
frightfulness, after a careful sur
very of Manila from the air to
make sure that It was indeed
without defense. The purpose of
this was to shatter the morale
of the civilian population and
thus cause a collapse of Filipino
resistance. What the ordinarily
softly-spoken Secretary Hull de
scribes as the same practices of
flendishness have been employ
ed against the Chinese, in defi
ance of numerous protest! by
our state department.
However, it isn't surprising
that this should be so, and it
seems to me that we should
adjust our outlook to a situation
which Is likely to Intensify. In
this connection we have the sen
sational statement made In
Istanbul by George H. Earle,
American minister to Bulgaria,
who was rushed out of Bulgaria
because of rumors of a Nazi
plot against him.
Earle asserted that "German
fortunes definitely are declining
but the death throes may be un
precedentedly violent." He ad
ded that there is some evidence
the Nazis are planning to de
stroy everything in any of the
occupied countries which they
are forced to leave the "big
gest vandalism in history."

O Funny how old customs survive. In the dim past primitive people
commemorated the beginning of the year, which then came in April,
with great feast festivals.
The egg the symbol of productivity played the most important part in
the day's events just as it does at our Easter time.
In its earliest form it was prepared by beaten eggs being mixe-1 with honey
into a sort of pudding.
Today we present it in its most delicious form Angel Cake.
On countless thousands of American tables Angel Cake will symboliza
the New Year. The ancient custom still survives and is becoming more
popular every year.
