...your issue of Nov. 2, it might be of news interest to your readers to know that a complete issue of that periodical is published simultaneously in Braille by the American Printing House for the Blind in Louisville. There is very slight resemblance in format as the greater bulk necessitated by the embossed letters results in three volumes, each 13½ in. by 11 in. and over an inch thick, instead of the pocket-size edition for those who can see. Originally each issue was incorporated in one volume, but this style book was too bulky for convenient handling. Even...

Instead of trying to fight Japan, which he considered hopeless, the Dictator has waged innumerable practice wars upon Chinese Communist forces. These organized themselves in the hinterland under those Soviet auspices which made possible the original conquest of China by the Ningpo Napoleon. In 1934 the bulk of China's insurgent Communists had been coralled by Chiang in Kiangsi Province, and the Generalissimo's officers awaited orders, the execution of which, they confidently told him, would drive the Reds "into the sea"-i. e. down to the South China seacoast where they could be conveniently slaughtered...
