Streamer Tells of Japanese Surrender

A new method of informing Japs still holding out in the Sierre Madre Mountains that Hirohito had accepted unconditional surrender was tried recently by the intelligence department of the 38th Division on Luzon and proved a big success. The streamer, attached to three balloons was sent over Jap lines and observation planes reported many Japs had come out of hiding with white flags of surrender after the balloon had passed overhead. The usual method was to fire surrender leaflets in artillery shells.
