    • [1943 October 18, “Double-Ten Day”, in Pathfinder‎, Washington, D.C., page 13, column 2:
      On that very day half of a large Japanese force was trapped and completely destroyed near Hsuancheng in East China, 80 miles south of Nanking. It was a Chinese victory which not only helped along the celebration of Double-Ten Day, but added the right note to another important event of the moment, the formal inauguration of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek as President of the Republic.]
