FEW WAR SCARS
CONDITIONS IN NANKING ALLIES AS “GUESTS” CHUNGKING, (Rec. 0.40 a.m.) Sept. 5. The Chinese and American troops who arrived in Nanking less than a week ago are in effect “guests” of the Japanese who occupied the city for almost eight years. Nanking, which is showing few war scars, still has more than 70,000 Japanese troops in the vicinity, and more than 15,000 Japanese civilians. The Chinese forces at present number under 1000, and the Americans about 20 officers and men. The Chinese main body is expected to begin landing to-day by plane from Chungking. Yesterday brought British, French, Dutch, and Australian envoys for the surrender ceremonies. Correspondents who flew from Chungking landed in what used to be the main Chinese military airfield.
