...pushes it nearer to Russia. From Russia now come most of the arms and experts that Chiang is using against the Japanese. Some of the best of Chiang's troops are the Chinese Communist armies. If China wins the war, hinted Chiang last week, to Russia would naturally fall the trade position in China once held by Britain-unless Britain was soon able to match the U. S. S.

Undergraduates of Civil War days will remember the grove of pines sheltering "Universities Minor" at the rear of University Hall. Up to this fall there were two pines standing near the site of the original grove; the hurricane claimed one, so that now there is only one pine, one evergreen, in the entire Yard...
