...lords and the Government fear him. Cultured Chinese statesmen, most of them proud of their foreign university degrees, call him a bumpkin and a clown. Perhaps no Chinese love him except the coarse, humble masses from which he sprang. Last week these chuckled as tall, mighty-bellied War Lord Feng Yu-hsiang returned with a broad, triumphal grin from his three-month military escapade in Chahar Province north of Peiping which nearly plunged Japan and China into fresh war (TIME, June...
After capturing the outpost of Dolonnor from a mixed Manchukuo-Japanese garrison, smart Marshal Feng summoned all China to join his "struggle for righteousness." This crucially embarrassed the Chinese Government of wasp-waisted Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek who had made and is striving to keep a precarious peace with Japan.

He thus greatly relieved China's Nanking Government which feared to see its de facto peace with Japan broken by Feng or any other Chinese war lord whom the Japanese would...
Joyful amid charge and countercharge, War Lord Feng boomed that he was really going to fight Japan. His troops did no fighting last week but they all offered their right sleeves to Chinese needlemen who nimbly stitched on armbands reading: "We represent the real fighting forces of the Chinese people. We are battling for China's independence against Japanese invaders...
