| When China’s Alarm System Warns of Jap Planes
China's air alarm system Is the world’s best, giving Chungking residents two hours’ warning of the approach
of Jap planes. In the picture at right, Chinese residents of Chungking walk unhurriedly to their cave shelter in
the hills. Left: Entrance to a typical cave air raid shelter. The people seem to be more interested in the
cameraman than in the Jap planes, which are to appear overhead in a matter of minutes. Inset: Hillside sig
nal system, near Chungking.
Making Big Guns That Will Thunder for Allies
The Washington, D. C., navy yard tarns oat big 16-inch rifles that thunder from battleships, as well as
the eight and six-inch guns for heavy and light cruisers. Also deadly five-inch dual purpose guns. At left, an
overhead crane swings a partial assembly of a five-inch dual purpose gun over the partial assembly of a six-inch
triple mount (foreground). Center: A white-haired Inspector minutely examines small caliber cartridge cases
before they are sent on to receive their lethal load. Right: Cartridge cases getting their final inspection. Their
destination is the breech of a five-inch gun trained on an Axis warship or plane.
Doughnut Time for White House Guards
Steel-helmeted soldiers forming part of the White House guard are
shown being served coffee and doughnuts by Red Cross workers from
tbeir new clubmobile, a mobile kitchen equipped with a doughnut-making
machine and large coffee urns.
Beware the Booby Trap
British soldiers learned from experience never to touch an object in
captured territory until sappers announce that the territory is safe. Yanks
are profiting by British experience. The U. S. soldier on the left Is mak
ing a mistake in touching the camera on the body of this German soldier.
Photo on right shows how it was wired to explode at slightest touch.
Joy and Sorrow
Two flashes from a captured Ger
man newsreel, made at the time the
Germans released French prisoners
of war who had been held in German
camps. At top, a wife embraces the
husband she hadn’t seen since 1940.
Below, two youngsters who watched
the reunion weep because the father
they expected home had not come.
First Lady Signs
Mrs. Roosevelt signs “short snort
er's” dollar bill. Short snorters are
persons who have flown across an
ocean and who have been Initiated.
If one does not produce his auto
graphed bill on demand he must pay
the other a dollar or buy a drink.
Mrs. Roosevelt bad her bill with
her.
War's End for These Italians in Tunisia
White flags held high to prove that there no longer is a combat
against them, these Italians surrender to a Highland officer as Gabes, in
Tunisia, fell to the British Eighth army in command of Gen. Bernard
Montgomery. This is a radiopboto from Cairo.
Jap Prisoners Leave So. Pacific for Duration
Appearing quite happy, and with a definitely well-fed look, these Jap
prisoners while away the time aboard the ship which Is transporting them
out of the South Pacific war zone for the duration. Chinese checkers
amuse the pair on the mattress on the deck, while at the right the lad
with the bandaged toes grins broadly for the cameraman.
Putting on the Heat in a Cold Country
U. S. infantrymen unhesitatingly leap (top) into the icy waters of a
mountain stream during maneuvers in Alaska. Below: A machine gun
crew takes up position on a snow-covered, wind-swept elevation. Scram
bling through snowbanks and wading through icy streams soon makes
tough soldiers of these boys from offices, shops and farms. They become
just as tough as the country.
Sound and Fury for the Enemy
Shakespeare wrote of sound and fury “signifying nothing,” which Is
qnite the opposite of the sound and fury depicted here. Navy 16-inch guns
are letting go with a thunderous roar during powder tests at the Dablgren
naval ordnan> depot, at Dablgren, Va. Powder tests determine some
of the factors which go into more efficient firing of these big berthas.
Russ-U. S. Amity
On the 25th anniversary of the Red

Roshchin, military attache of the
U.S.S.R., and host, (left) shakes
hands with Lieut. Col. Joseph Stil
well Jr., son of General Stllwell, as
he arrived for the party.
Proves His Point
Lieut. H. E. Miller, who saw a
German FW-190 nearly blow the tail
off a Flying Fortress flying ahead
of him, thought the hole wide enough
for him to walk through. Back at
the home station he had a chance to
prove It. The pHot who flew the
crippled ship home was Lieut. Don
ald E. Stockton, shown at right.
Rarin’ to Go
David Platt, 79, (left) and Jacob

Half of W orld Doesn't j
Know W hat Other Thinks
A commercial traveler put up
tor the night at a small country
inn. In the breakfast room the
following morning he was asked
by the landlord how he had en
joyed the cornet playing in the
next bedroom during the night.
‘‘Enjoyed it!” was the reply.
‘‘I should think not, indeed! Why,
I spent half the night pounding on
the wall to make that cornet play
er stop.”
‘‘I’m afraid there’s been a mis
understanding,” said the landlord,
stiffly. ‘‘The cornet player told
me that the person in the next
room applauded so heartily that
he played every piece he knew
five times over.”

From an old French word “mes”

is chicken dinner—his favorite
