...city of Peking, for five centuries the traditional Capital of China, fell last week to the South Chinese Nationalist Armies. Noble was the evacuation carried out by the great Marshal Chang Tso-lin. Scarcely a retreat, and in no sense a rout, the War Lord's departure took on the semblance of a stately pilgrimage. The event was of paramount importance because, for the first time in the present decade of Civil War, it can now be substantially claimed that all of China proper is under a single regime-the Nationalist Government, founded by the late, famed and revered...
...Chinese Civil War seemed about to spread to Manchuria, last week,-a development of gravest international consequence, since Manchuria contains many Japanese colonists.

Our army had al ready captured Shantung. The intervention of the Japanese undoubtedly was a godsend to Chang Tso-lin. There you have two facts; all you have to do is to put them together." Dr. Wu's facts are facts...
...ports of the world in normal volume of shipping. Its customs dues are the one large and reliable source of income possessed by the Nanking Nationalists. Last week the native quarter of Shanghai was ineffectively bombed by hand grenades thrown from two hydroplanes belonging to Peking Dictator Chang Tso-Lin. The planes operated from the Peking cruiser Haichi which suddenly appeared before the Woosung forts, fired a few tentative broadsides and scuttled...
