Korean and Russian inhab itants art- virtually slaves. All fire arms have been taken from them, so they are defenseless. The people have been so cruelly treated and intimi dated that they fear the Japanese as they would devils. Not only was the country seized politically, but everything that brings in money has been taken over by the JapaneSb people or by their government. Yes, conditions there are indeed very bad; but in China proper where Japan has met with greater '-resistance?and the people poorer, the state of af fairs can be described only by the expression "hell on earth." a terri ble situation,, involving such de struction and distress as has never been known in the history of the world Under such conditions does one wonder that some fifty million peo ple have fled before these terrible, cruel, ruthless armies, which have invaded the most densely populated regions of China? It is gratifying to note that Baptists of the South have determined to raise this spring in their churches $300,000 to save from starvation the millions in China who have been go mistreated and are dy ing for lack of food, clothing and shelter'' Call For Colored Draftees From the Countv Is Pending ?

With one exception, motorists on Martin County highways drove tens of thousands of miles last week without an accident.

A brief report stated that American reinforcements had reach ed Burma but in what quantities and what types, the report did not dis close. The Japs are meeting an effective opposition in other territories, and in New Guinea their bombers were driven back in an attempt to raid Port Moresby. Accompanying that report was the harrowing exper iences related by three Australian soldiers who had escaped following their capture. According to the three escaped prisoners who have just shown up in Australia, the Japs took numbers of prisoners captured by them, tied their hands behind their backs and marched them into the jungle to be used as live targets in bayonet practice. Captured officers were permitted to commit suicide, the three escapees declared. Hitler and his winged forces are faring bad in Russia these days.
