Japanese forces last week made their main push along the strategic Lunghai east-west railroad, which at Chengchow connects with the Peking-Hankow line (see map). Fortnight ago, retreating Chinese turned and drove an advance column of 10,000 Japanese, under famed little Lieutenant General Kenji Doihara, "Lawrence of Manchuria," into a bottleneck area between the broad Yellow River and the railway. For nine days Chinese forces, often behind providential screens of swirling yellow dust, charged at the Japanese ranks, attempted to wipe out the 10,000. Finally Japanese reinforcements forded the river from the north under artillery bombardment, helped...
...investments were busy in Tokyo begging and praying the Imperial Government not to go off half-cocked and invade Shantung but be just a little patient and win much more cheaply by means of bribes. Rumors that Shantung's Han recently conferred in Tsinan with Japanese Lieut.-General Kenji Doihara, Tokyo's ablest bribe artist in dealing with Chinese, were taken seriously enough at Nanking, China's capital, for a government spokesman to angrily exclaim last week: "If Doihara came there he ought to have been locked up in jail...
...Emperor of Manchukuo (see map), their puppet His Majesty Kang Te. The next logical step would be to seat this Manchu Emperor on the Dragon Throne of his ancestors at Peiping. To engineer such a coup, Japan sent to China her master schemer and spy, Major General Kenji Doihara who intrigued and bribed for the five North China provinces of Hopei, Chahar, Suiyuan, Shansi and Shantung to set themselves up as "autonomous" and independent of the rest of China (TIME, Nov. 25, 1935 et seq.). At about this time a Mr. Yin Ju-keng, a toothy and unappetizing Chinese with...
...small Japanese exporters on the advantages of the enormously expensive Manchukuoan conquest. Six months ago they suddenly became aware of another adventure of Japanese militar ists for which they had only the wildest enthusiasm. Last November, without the use of a single regiment, Japan's Major General Kenji Doihara set up a pro-Japanese "autonomous government" in eastern Hopei known as the Autonomous Federation for Joint Defense Against Communism. Its head was a twerpish-looking young man known as Yin Ju-keng, whose only flash of independence is a stolid refusal to allow himself to be photo graphed with...
...will long ago have discovered that the photograph (credited to Keystone) you printed on p. 21, TIME, Dec. 9, was not that of General Sung Cheh-yuan, as labeled. Difficult to corner with a camera, General Sung is much younger, larger, bigger-boned. Current dealings with Major General Kenji Doihara leave him no time for such books as that carried by the real man in the picture. The book happens to be a Bible, and the man himself deserves a greater place in U. S. hearts than Warlord Sung. He is Yao Chen-yuan, 80-year-old Chinese Christian, sole...
