News from the railroad city of Suchowfu, Kiangsu, states that they are busy preparing for air raids. The rank and file of the people, as well as their leaders are wonderfully united in the common cause. Our correspondent says that he has never seen anything like it, in the past 27 years. The city with a population of about 200,000, is settling down to united community service. The weather is good, rain fall just right and prospects for a good crop fine.
Pengpu was bombed recently, but the big bridge there over the Hwai River, was not damaged and trains are coming through.
