...Duke had escaped by special train from Shantung Province when the Japanese marched in fortnight ago, blasting the ducal seat near the Sacred Mount Taishan, where some 10,000 descendants of the Sage are buried. In 1936 the Confucian Society of Japan got the boy Duke to come to Tokyo and dedicate a shrine to the Sage. Ever since there have been rumors that Japan was persuading the Duke to let her set him up as puppet ruler of China...
...while remaining Generalissimo, resigned as Premier in favor of his brother-in-law Dr. H. H. Kung, only recently returned from a European shopping tour for war supplies (TIME, Aug. 30). Premier Kung, a descendant of China's greatest sage Confucius (whose memorial tablet on the Classical Mountain Taishan was threatened by Japanese last week) is a Chinese conservative. However, his first act as Premier was to order freed from Chinese jails virtually all prisoners, and the majority of these happened to be Communists. Dispatches reported Chinese Communist leaders pressing Premier Kung and Generalissimo Chiang to "give weapons...
...Kaishek. When last month he suddenly ended his bluff as Commander-in-Chief of a People's National Salvation Anti-Japanese Army, pocketed the People's contributions and showed a smiling face in Peiping, he announced that he was going into retirement on the Sacred Mountain of Taishan, in Shantung.

Chinese expected Feng's "asthma"-a standing joke-to last until he sees a fresh chance to rush forth on another profitable military escapade. During...
Missionary Jones is sure it is not Christianity v. Buddhism or Confucianism. "These faiths are simply out of it. Climb to the top of China's sacred mountain, Taishan, and you will find the Buddhist and Taoist priests smoking opium or gambling." General Chiang Kai-shek told Dr. Jones the final battle in China would be between Christianity and Communism- "and not only in China but throughout the world." Whether Christianity as preached in China has enough social content to beat Communism remains to be seen. Certainly it is less imperialistic than before. General Feng Yu-hsiang wavered...
