...crashing wave of affairs that brought an end to the Nationalist Government of President Chiang Kai-shek (see col. 2) last week raised an echoing rumble from Shanghai. In Shanghai lives a demigod's relict, the widow of the late great Dr. Sun Yatsen, who lies in a $3,000,000 tomb outside Nanking, venerated as the prophet of the Chinese Republic. Mme Sun Yat-sen was educated at Wesleyan College, Macon, Ga. and Wellesley. She is a sister-in-law of Chiang Kai-shek and a member of the "Soong Dynasty," the family that controlled the Nationalist Government...
Seemingly all effective Chinese resistance to Japan in Manchuria had been crushed last week. Only at Chinchow, far to the south of Manchuria and near China proper, was there any large group of Chinese soldiers who might do battle. To hearten them Chinese President Chiang Kaishek at Nanking-1,000 miles south announced in the flamboyant vein of General Ma that he would personally rush north "to direct the offensive and avenge China's honor."

In the East his silver tongue and Moscow's gold coin made possible the revolutionary conquest of all China by Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek, now President. Today the Chinese Government, which broke with Russia to establish friendly relations with other Great Powers (TIME, April 25, 1927), is again angling for Moscow...
Famed are the Whampoa Cadets, Chinese West Pointers, special favorites of President Chiang who was once Principal of Whampoa. Whampoan officers are the backbone of the Chinese Army today. President Chiang threatened fortnight ago to declare war on Japan (TIME, Oct. 19). Last week he kept quiet, despatched urgent wires to northern War Lords who might join in a fight with Japan. Two of these, Marshal Feng Yu-hsiang "The Christian General" in Inner Mongolia and Marshal Yen Hsi-shan "The Model Governor" are doughty battlers whose names are Chinese household words. If they joined President Chiang, and they have...
