News of Americans Coming

Spread Joy Through Shanghai

By WILLIAM H. NEWTON Scripps-Howards Staff Whiter

SHANGHAI, Oct. 31.—~The cold February wind whipped through

in the hearts of the people. The Japanese army seemed to be winning the war and the Japs in Shanghal were swaggering and arrogant, ? Ducking his head against the icy wind, a man crossed the street and entered a little tobacco shop. Put~ ting a $200 Chinese puppet bill on the counter, he purchased four packs of cigarets. And as he opened the door to go back into the cold, gloomy street, he muttered something to the proprietqr. Message on Bill. “Look at the bill,” he. whispered. “Somebody's coming. Look at the bill. . , Then he was gone. The old German behind the counter started, Driven out of his own country by the gestapo, he had come to Shanghai, only to be per~ secuted again by the Japs. It seemed. that nowhere in the world was there peace and freedom, He

a |stood with the bill in his hand for

a moment, puzzled, It looked like a good bill, even if It was only enough to buy four packs of cigarets. It was a new issue, and across

Pootung prison camp and up Tongshan road. At the corner, a sullen Jap guard stamped his feet and beat his hands together to keep warm. The winter of 1945 was a bitter one for thousands of people in Jap-held Shanghai. There was a coal shortage, and the tiny fires in the grates seemed almost as small as the tiny flicker of hope that remained

way and that, and holding it up to the light, Suddenly his lips moved. “u—s—a—c” he whispered. Yee” “Um—a—C"'~—the letters pounded through his brain. “gf —C—united--states — army — coming =~ UNITED — STATES — ARMY--COMING” His hands trembled as he stuffed the bill into his sweater and fumbled with the door key. Hastily he closed the shop and walked down the street. Children Overjoyed The old man mounted the steps in the ramshackle tenement two at a time. “Mama!” he shouted. “Mama! Ruthie! Egon! Lucy!” There was a chatter of replies, and then a silence as he gathered his family around him. Egon was first to break free. Grabbing his: cap he rushed downstairs and across the street to the neighboring house. He disappeared for a moment and was back in the street again, moving up the road, stopping at house after house. Little Ruthie, too, ran to the street | and up to the corner. “Yah, Yah, Yah—U~8-—A ~C—~07'D JAP — U--8-~A-—-C-—UNITED STATES" “Mein Gott!" cried her mother, running out to snatch the child in her arms and carry her back into the house. “Ruthie child you must never say that—never, never again!” The Jap sentry stared after them blankly. Notes Spread Rapidly Up Tongshan road sped the news. Within an hour it had crossed the river and on Nanking road Chinese merchants searched their cash boxes for the magic bills, By nightfall it passed through the International settlement and into French concession. By morning the 200 Americans imprisoned at Pootung camp heard of it. By noon every Jap hater in Shanghal had one or more of the notes in his pockets. The Japs didn't catch on for two weeks. Perhaps they noticed that the despised foreign devils a little more spirited lately. By the time they did find out, and by the time they rushed to the engraving plant, the obscure little Chinese was gone without a trace. And millions of the $200 bills were in circulation through all occupied China, An American who has never lived in an enemy-held city cannot imagine how it 1s. An American can't imagine stepping into the gutter when a swaggering Jap passes by. Americans Can Know

But daily, week in and week out, for weeks and months and years, till it becomes at last as commonplace and as ordinary a thing as the rain in April and the snow in winter. Not knowing of such matters, he cannot appreciate, either, the value of little things, to people living in monotony of terror. Little snatches of words , . . little symbols , , . Httle letters, hidden in a maze of curlicues on a Chinese $200 bill Little things that are a symbol of hope and freedom and human decency of men to one another,
