Hankow, on the middle Yangtze, was a city of refuge last week. Into it from newly abandoned mission stations in Honan and. northern Hupeh provinces-by rail, truck, mule cart and often on foot-trekked American missionaries. They felt unable any longer to live and work in an area where Chinese Communists now marched almost at will. Three missionaries had been shot to death by "bandits" who hauled them from a bus shouting: "You are Americans, and Americans must die!" They were Martha Anderson of Minneapolis, Esther Nordlund of Chicago, and Dr. Alexis Berg of Finland, all attached...
Ravaged, still-disputed Manchuria was the ugliest wound that would have to heal before the pattern of Chinese unity could be complete. To heal other sore spots in Shansi, Honan and Hupeh provinces, tireless U.S. Peacemaker George Marshall toured North China, working in the difficult lower political levels to win practical realization of the military truce he and China's top leaders had arranged.

...terrible famines that swept Honan and Kwangtung, a price level now 87 times the pre-war level, the throttling grip of the blockade, the hunger of vast armies for medicines and munitions, the creeping paralysis of transport. The only major Japanese military drive this year-the campaign in western Hupeh-has been smashed. The Chinese Air Force has taken the air for the first time in several years, shot down enemy planes, cooperated with the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force...
