...bold! Be bold!" was a favorite Occidental maxim of the late, sainted Dr. Sun Yat-sen (TIME, March 23, 1925), founder of China's present Nationalist Government. Nearly always the tail end of the maxim (". . . but not too bold!") was docked in quotation by dynamic, heroic Sun Yatsen.

Citizens of the U. S. resident at Chefoo, not far away on the Shantung Coast heard firing, and presently four auto trucks piled with Nationalist wounded dashed into the city. No correspondent dared venture out into the battle area, and when Nationalist officials in Chefoo announced a "sweeping victory" they were gravely suspected of exaggeration. From Manila the U.
