1ST CHRISTMAS

G. I. “Uncles Hold- Party for Adopted Chinese .. War Orphan.

« By A.'T. STEELE Times Foreign Correspondent SOMEWHERE IN CHINA, Dec. 25.—Christmas was just another | date on the calendar for most of | China's 400,000,000 non-Christians. | But«not for “Little Tiger Joe," | adoptérl son of the American engi- | neering unit here. It was the first Christmas for this | bright-eyed, 4-year-old war orphan | with his new-found American “uncles.” They saw to it that it was a'date he will never forget. | Little Tiger Joe, whose real name is Sido Lao-hu, was picked up homeless and friendless a few months ago by Sgt. Lewis Gale of Brooklyn. He was, brought to the barracks where he made an instant hit with Gale's buddies. Little Joe immediately made himself dt home and now sports a snappy G.I. uniform. He has all the food and candy he can eat. He calls Gale “Papa” and the rest

of the men “Uncle Bill,” “Uncle Peter” and “Uncle Al” A Born Actor

Jidttle Joe has a strange ambition: He wants to go to Hollywood.. He has just been starred in a 1000foot documentary film entitled, “Little Tiger Joe,” made for the U. 8.514th alr force. Like most Chinese, he proved a born actor. Little Joe is one of the few lucky exceptions among the vast army of homeless children produced by more than seven years of war in China. Many thousands of his less fortunate fellow waifs have died from [exposure and starvation in the long trek from the war areas. Other thousands have found a measure of protection in orphanages and nurseries set up by Chinese and missionary organizations. Of ( these institutions the _best, known are Mms. Chiang Kai-shek’s 36 “warphanages,” which are giv-

Churches Do Great Work

Of 'even bigger scope is the work of the Catholic and Protestant churches. The Catholics alone have cared for 30%00 orphans and 60,000 infants in the last year; often under extreme hazards, Ini some eases the Japanese advante has been so rapid that there has'bepn on time to evacuate children. Priests and sisters Have been faced with the choice of standing by their younthful charges or abandoning them to the enemy. For a man like Father Hererro at Changten, in Honan province, his duty was clear. When the Japs broke into his girls’ orphanage, he courageously stood his ground. Though struck down by a Jap officer, and robbed of his religious accoutrements, he lived to escape and tell his story, and his orphans were saved,
