Suppose we were pulling off a
war In this county" and rt«t were, to
broadcast information concerning
the outcome of a fierce encounter
in the outskirts of some little Po-
dunk, consisting of one general
store, half a block of houses in each
ilrection from the main crossroads,
a lone church and 214 population.
How much significance would that
victory or defeat have to listeners-
in in remote parts of Europe or
Asia or Madagascar—people with-
out the slightest notion of the
burg's geography; unable even cor
rectly to pronounce its name, "Po-
dunk"?

By CH ARLES P. 8TEi
Central Press Colunu. .
ABOUT 90 per cent of the re-
ports we get from the world's vari-
ous war areas can’t possibly
mean much to the average reader.
For one thing,
they conflict,
depending on
which side emits
'em.
We may have
one of South America’s wars, an
Internationally decisive rookus oc-
curred In the vicinity of a teeny-
weeny settlement, on the edge of
which I lived a couple of genera-
tions later. Consequently I learned
of the affair, five or six decades be-
latedly. It was known as the Battle
of Empalme Villa Constitucion-

But getting up to date—
It happens that I’m familiar wit)
approximately half a dozen word:
in Chinese.
One of 'em is "shan.”
O. K. You've read about Jap
Chinese activities in the "shar
states.”
Seeking enlightenment, Tv<
asked a number of our publicit;
dispensers, “What, please, do yoi
mean by the ‘shan states’?”
| To this query, the public!tyite;
’ have answered, pityingly, becaus
of my ignorance, “We mean th'
states, or provinces, that the Sha-
mountains criss-cross.”
Well, shan is Chinese for moun
tains.
To refer to the Shan mountain
Is equivalent to saying, the “moun
tains mountains."
It's like failing to draw a distinc
tion between the Alleghenies an
the Rockies.
Wide Room for Error
In eastern China is the Khingn

miles to the westward is the Kun.

until OUR today.
The fact is that we ordinary fol!
don’t know what’s going on o
when.
We talked about last war as i
world war.
This one’s the real thing.
It’s round-and-round the glohi

a broad general
idea of what’s
going on, on a
large scale, but
accounts are
too mixed up to
make sense in
detail. Illustra-
tively, It’s ob-
vious that the
Nazis must be
having serious trouble on their
Russian front, or they wouldn't
have been tied up there so long.
The results of specific engagements
are a mere matter of guesswork,
though, to folk as far away as we
are.
We never even heard of the
towns around which a lot of the
fighting’s raging. Their names don’t
figure in any gazetteer. No modem
map indicates ’em.
