15 Apr 1944, R. E. Jones Wartime diary

Wolkenlich aber kein regen. Holz partei. Schwere arbeit und essen nicht genug. Um die Abendszeit mit Steve. Russe und Romania den Frieden abkommen schleissen? Japanosiche leute furchten den Burgerkrieg Ihre Damen und Kinder nach Kowloon kommen haben Sie.

(( Jill Fell writes:

"Cloudy but no rain. Wood party. Hard work and not enough to eat. With Steve around evening time. Russia and Romania make peace pact? The Japanese people fear civil war. Their women and children have come to Kowloon."

I can't make sense of Jones's last sentence without putting a full stop between "Burgerkrieg" and "Ihre." There seem to be two separate statements. Could someone with knowledge of the historical background confirm whether the Japanese were bringing their families to Kowloon in 1944?))
