...Cheh-yuan, who was cashiered by Nanking last spring, when he threatened to lead his troops against the advancing Japanese. This demotion caused General Sung abruptly to become pro-Japanese in all externals and last week, by Nanking's appointment, he was the new Commander of the Peiping-Tientsin Chinese Garrisons. Smirked a high Japanese official: "We in-tend to keep offering General Sung every inducement to remain friendly." In Shanghai last week the vernacular China Times likened the Italo-Ethiopian conflict to the World War, which Japan made the occasion for imposing upon China the notorious Twenty...

Never a slender tea-party diplomat but a hearty 250-lb. Yankee, he did business in an effective Yankee fashion...
...North China the cockiness of Japanese was such that when a Japanese officer motoring from Peiping last week observed that a single Japanese field telegraph pole had somehow caught fire he stepped on the accelerator, roared into Tientsin at 60 m. p. h. to report "the outrage." Soon a Japanese platoon had sallied forth into the very midst of hundreds of evacuating Chinese troops to "punish the offenders." The fact that four Japanese army scouts motoring in the wilds north of Peiping were detained by some Chinese officials overnight was reported in Japanese newsorgans under screaming headlines suggesting that "this...
