...given them no artillery, no telephone wire, no heavy machine guns, almost no ammunition. The Government says: Why train and arm a Communist Army just to have it turn on us? Generalissimo Chiang has long been a hater of Communists; nor do the Communist leaders, Mao, Chu and Chou Enlai, on all of whose heads he once set a price, trust him. This week, in a peculiarly Chinese maneuver, the Kuomintang's Central Executive Committee summoned Generalissimo Chiang as President of the Executive Yuan (Premier) again, reducing Premier H. H. Kung to vice president. Then it issued a four...

Each of the 100 regiments snipes off ten Japanese soldiers daily, thus giving a total of 1,000 Japanese deaths daily, or 365,000 yearly, from guerrilla warfare alone. The General claimed that a well-established guerrilla base could tie up 50,000 Japanese in police and garrison duty...

Digging in the Chou-Kou-Tien limestone, 37 miles southwest of Peiping, has been going on for a decade. On the evidence of a single tooth, Dr. Davidson Black set up Pekin Man as a new genus and species which he called Sinanthropus pekinensis. Seven years ago a Chinese geologist found an immature female skull. Then another childish cranial piece and many more skeletal fragments were turned up, including twelve jaws and about 100 teeth, representing some 24 individuals. After Dr. Black died his work was continued through the Rockefeller-endowed Cenozoic Research Laboratory by Dr. Franz Weidenreich of Peiping...
