...feast was given by Gen. Chi Hsieh-yuan last evening at Huai Jen Tang in honor of over 80 Chinese and Japanese newspapermen. Many high class Japanese officers were also invited. Purpose of the feast is: the Provisional Government is going to have an army of 'its own,' so he wants the newsmen to give them encouragement and publicity. The program of feast is like this...
...North Hupeh-a campaign which the Japanese hoped would eventually land them in Chungking-resulted in the greatest Chinese success of the war since they defeated the Japanese at Taierchwang in the spring of 1938. Opposing the 100,000 Japanese was the crack Kwangsi Army of General Li Tsung-jen, hero of Taierchwang. General Li caught the Japanese spread out in the North Hupeh hills, threw them back with a loss of 27,000 men. Significantly, no farther than three or four miles back of the Japanese lines in this battle Chinese guerrillas were busy harassing Japanese communications...
They must first suppress the Man, Chiang, who has spoiled their plans. Even if they could get him they might not bring an end to Chinese resistance.

For many generations Hungary's lazy Danubian capital, Budapest, has been as noted for fine fiddling as for goulash and Tokay.

Through aristocratic, white-bearded Hubay's studio passed many of the finest violinists in the world, among them Hungarian Joseph Szigeti...
From Hankow last week came disturbing reports of dissension between Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek and his military aides. Chief dissenter was General Li Tsung-jen, powerful military leader of Kwangsi, a South China province neighboring Canton, who patched up his long-standing quarrel with the Generalissimo when hostilities started eleven months ago. In the tortuous back-stepping before the Japanese the Generalissimo has repeatedly pulled his own crack German-trained divisions from the front lines first, leaving the raw, ill-equipped mass of his army, largely composed of provincial troops, to cover the retreat. This, coupled with Chiang...
