...Inland Paraguay has a navy of five gunboats plying the Paraguay and Parana Rivers: rival Bolivia has no navy...
...Japan has poured an invading army (TIME, July 26). So deceptively abject were the local Chinese population, its coolies meekly unloading Japanese munitions and its Chinese officials blandly obliging, that General Kazuki did not bother to keep Tientsin heavily garrisoned, hurried almost all the Japanese troops he landed directly inland toward Peiping. Suddenly about 2 a. m. Chinese artillery secretly brought close to Tientsin started shelling the central and east railway stations used by the Japanese.

As far as Mr. Lewis was concerned the strike was still on, except against Inland Steel and the Youngstown Sheet & Tube plants in the Chicago area where Indiana's Governor Townsend had patched up truces. There was heavy rioting last week at Republic Steel plants in Cleveland and in Cumberland, Md.
