When 6,000 desperate Chinese took refuge in the old walled quarter of Tsinan, last week, and later attempted with great bravery to fight their way out, Japanese machine gunners mowed down every man of 20 successive Chinese charges which were launched by the besieged...
Chiang Looms. Marshal Chiang Kaishek, a bantam weight, trim-figured "Nationalist," who disdains pomp and affects a simple khaki uniform, loomed, last week, as likely to be first in the field of springtime civil war.
