AMERICAN GIRL REPORTER-PHOTOGRAPHER REVEALS HOW TORTUROUS BARRAGE LOOSED BY JAPANESE ON ICHANG

FRONT HALTED CHINESE COUNTER- OFFENSIVE

AND LEFT

BLISTERED VICTIMS IN AGONY ON BATTLEFIELD

The first serious gu attack of the second World War lo des- cribed in this exclusive NEA Scrvlco dispatch from Betty Grnham, 24-year-old Seattle Glrl writer who mu with the Chinese forces on the Ichang front at the time. Miss Graham ls a well known member of the small Amerltan colony In the beleaguered Chinese capital of Chungklng.

By BETTY GRAHAM (Copyright, 1941. NEA Service.)

CHUNGKING. Chinm-Was ft only 4a hours ago that victory 11nd seemed so certain?

In the first counter-offensive of four war years. Chinese troops had marched on Ichang. The command-

er al: headquarters guaranteed Ichang would fall»a day or two and I'd be drinking beer i11 the city, he promised.

Andc Ichnngb recapture would signal Chimls long awaited all- out counter-offensive, would herald the march on Hankow. Its recap- ture would reestablish direct con- tact between north 11nd soutn China, would give 0.11mi back X00 vital miles of Yangtse river, would

inc‘; hungertng millions . . .

Everyone was tense with excite- ment. Telephones jengled unceas- lngly. Messengers rushed 1n and out. T00 much was at, stake to notice the Japanese bombers ram- pant overhead or to hear the heavy cannons roarln on all sides.

Nothing mat red but the wire- less messages from the troops at Ichangb well. They sounded won- derful at first:

3.10 cm. . . Shock troops enter the city . . . heavy street. fighting continues . . ."

No one doubted the outcome. The commander opened n bottle of got-t and we touted the lucoeu of

MESSAGE OI‘ HORROR,- GAS BARRAGE"

Still they came, these messages of horror,

"Gas barrage continuing" . . . “Sixty enemy planes released gas bombs" . . . “No sounds fighting within catty" . . .. "Intimate 3M0 casualties, one-fourth result gas."

We could deny it to ourselves no longer. The Japanese had saved

Ichang by resorting to the only weapon by which they could hope

to hold lt-by gas, from guns and airplanes.

"Whcreb the commander?" I asked. "I must go up the line and see some of the gas victims."

The Chlef-of-Staff looked at me with sad. tired eyes.

"He's in his room alone. He's crying. So many soldiers . . . they had no chance . . ."

“But I must get plctureo of them. There have been many unconfirm- ed reports of Japanese using gu. No one in America will believe 1t without pictures."

"What difference does it make if they believe it or not in Amer- ica)?" demanded an nngry voice from the doorway. The commander strode into the room, his ftwe drawn and lined from days with- out sleep.

"What difference will it make now? The Japanese have used lt many times before . . . but never like this . . . never u much as this."

He stood ln front of me, and

Two gas victims are carried out.- clde for,me to fake their plcturel.

One is a young ‘rine-gtrnner, the other his ‘ r. platoon commander. Both were wounded

during the first gas attack on Io- hangb outskirts. The commander, Wei Tso-kan. is able to sit up and describe his feell-HB! during the barrage.

"On October 1th we drove the Japanese 13th Division headquart- ers back from ‘rungaltandilh, tho district just south of Ichang’; alr- fleld," Wei explains. "I had 28 men 1n my unit with orders to ‘defend Tungshamhlh to the death.’ The enemy counter-stacked furiously, but. throughout the night and the next day we held our pultfon.
