| Description: | Indistinct imagery, contrast is not clear and is light As the year 4630 dawns, Chinese who hold to the old order of things celebrate the event with traditional dragon parades while younger nationalists eagerly watch the bulletin boards for news from the shell-torn sector of shanghai. Meanwhile, replacement troops for the 31st and 15th infantry regiments on duty in the far east board the U.S. Grant with orders to debark at the Philippines, but with possible destinations at the center of the disturbances, according to widespread rumor. | |
