"I'm not going to make a speech," he said, "but this simple little ceremony gives me opportunity to come over here and through you say thanks. You are one of the finest regiments in our army.

Chinese forces were sent against a strong Nippon spearhead 46 miles south of encircled Heng-yang, important railway junction. The Chinese claimed they had inflicted successive reverses on the Japanese at Hengyang and again charged the invaders with using poison gas there. Last reports on the Japanese offensive northward up the railway placed the invaders 30 to 40 miles from Canton.

Seventy miles north of Hengyang the 'Chinese reported they made "rapid progress" in a counter-attack. The fighting was bitter. Apparently it was the hope of Chinese field commanders to halt the enemy's southward plunge by constantly attacking his lengthening supply lines. Since opening their Hunan offensive the Japanese have advanced more than 200 miles. In north Burma a Japanese "suicide" squad attacked the American-held main airfield at Myitkylna.
