workers and from deputy commanders at various levels,'guarded such military
secrets as information on defense areas, order of battle,; and troop move-
ments. Security practices were taught to the enlisted men and officers,
and sub'-committees on security practices were formed in regiments, battalions,
and companies. Soldiers and officers were not allowed to loiter in downtown
Shanghai and had to spend `,holidays at desi

to entertain enlisted men and officers. Strict regulations were practiced
at arsenals, supply depots, and airfields, and five-men security were organized to inspect the safety of factories and supply groups
depots.
