...crisis in Germany now would be very damaging to the prosperity not of Germany alone, but to the world. Beside the political eventualities, which are not small, of a socialist or nationalist rising, there are economic repurcussions on a grand scale. American holders of German securities might have to stand large losses, or unnecessary loss of confidence on their part might produce liquidation which would be disastrous to German borrowing. Nations which find Germany a good market for their goods, and secure from Germany many necessary goods in return, would be injured. The problems of Allied debt payment would...
...rebels had constructed to defend Hankow (TIME, April 8), were simply abandoned, as a half-dozen rebel "Generals" absconded from their commands and fled for their lives across the sluggish Yangtze-kiang. Meanwhile other "Generals" made a great show of trampling on their revolutionary banners, and deserted to the Nationalist standard of advancing Marshal Chiang Kaishek. There was absolutely no resistance at Hankow when spruce Marshal Chiang stepped ashore from a Nationalist river gunboat described as the flagship of so-called Grand Admiral Yang Shu-chwang...
...fortnight ago he was advancing with 150,000 Nationalist troops against a rebel army of 100,000 strongly entrenched. In the enemy camp it was believed that President Chiang could not count on the support of Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang, master of the largest private army in the world (see p. 30), and that the strong militarist clique in Canton had definitely sided against the Nationalist Government.

Despatches indicated that Master Mind Chiang had kept Marshal Feng's allegiance by promising that he and his peculiar Private Army shall be allowed to occupy and police the rich Chinese province of Shantung. Though the rebels were utterly routed at Hankow on the north...
Escalade. By dead of night Marshal Chang Tsung-chang-captor of Chefoo, where the hair nets come from (TIME, April 8)-sallied forth last week to capture the walled city of Ninghaichow by the medieval method of a stealthy escalade. Not to be caught napping, however, was the defending Nationalist commander General Liu Chen-nien. As Chang's stalwarts mounted the walls with scaling ladders, Liu's slant-eyed bravos hurled down upon them paving stones and mighty tubsfull of scalding water. Latest cables reported a draw, with Liu asking $200,000 to surrender and Chang offering...
