...Java the insurgent native newspapers bear such titles as: Young Java; Light of Islam; Agreement and Disagreement; and The Revival of Islam. The two great insurgent organizations are the Sarakat Islam, composed of influential Moslem merchants; and the Boedi-Oetomo, a society of Mohammedan Nationalists of all classes. Linked with these potent groups is The P. K. (Partij Kommunist) which has borrowed its name from western Communism, but closely resembles the Nationalist movement in India...
...than a thousand to one.* Yet in China the yellow men have hewn the white man's wood, drawn his water and emptied out his slops. Only recently have Chinese begun collectively to realize that they need do these chores only as long as they wish. The Chinese Nationalist movement has surged up from Canton across half China (TIME, Dec. 13); and last week the Chinaman's reluctance to go on emptying out slops indefinitely crystallized in a grave incident at Hankow,± "Chicago of China...
Bluff and Bruises. Hankow or "Mouth of Han," takes its name from the great river Han which flows into the greater Yangtze. The city lies at the confluence, with Wuchang, the new Nationalist Capital, just across the Yangtze.

Since Herr Gessler's activities have been carried on in secret these two antithetical impressions could exist. The facts about Germany's "secret army" have, however, been rather thoroughly aired at a series...
Significance. The Mexican religious struggle has settled down to a war of propaganda. The encyclical did not scruple to invoke a boojum like "un-Americanism"-which has the power of all nationalist invocations down to "Hawaii for the Hawaiians" and "Yap for the Yaps." In the war of propaganda between Mexico City and Rome the latter is now leading heavily in the U. S. with its two million encyclical letter pamphlets following closely the recently distributed legal indictment of Mexico by William Dameron Guthrie, Roman Catholic President of the Association of the Bar of New York City (TIME...
