According to the new theory, the neutron is a close combination of the more familiar parts of atomic structure, the election and the proton. These bear charges of electricity, the former a negative one and the latter a positive. The neutron, being a combination, is thus a neutral cross between both. For this reason, it has been considered very difficult for physicists to prove its existence, since neutrons would pass through ordinary matter without having any magnetic or electrical effects. The gravitational effect of neutrons passing close to some atomic heart or nucleus has been a theoretical possibility...
Appraisal. William Henry Murray leaves no man neutral. To his friends he is a second Andrew Jackson sent to lead the plain people out of economic bondage. To his foes he is another William Jennings Bryan threatening the very foundations of U. S. economic life. In the Murray makeup there is undoubtedly much of "Old Hickory," much of the "Great Commoner" but there is also enough more to make him a distinct political individual. Crude as Lincoln, he has the common touch; active as Roosevelt, he dramatizes public issues;* honest as Cleveland, he makes public office a public trust...
Japanese soldiers, once their advance got completely behind schedule, fought with mounting ferocity which presently became "frightfulness." Neutral white witnesses reported with horror how Chinese civilians were shot down, how Chinese property in the form of houses, barns, hay and grain was ignited by the Japanese...
...Japanese bombardment of the Chapei district next began, was answered by Chinese field pieces of surprising power. Mounted on a railway car a Chinese eight-inch gun dashed up and down. It scored few hits but barely missed the Japanese flagship and other warboats (some neutral) in the harbor. Zipping up, a lone Chinese airman in a lone U. S. Boeing pursuit plane rashly disputed Japanese mastery of the air, wounded a Japanese ace before he was shot down...
...another phase of the question, this action of members of neutral nations in joining the Chinese army, for certainly none will join the efficient Japanese one, while the basic motives are praise-worthy, will nevertheless undermine and render most difficult all attempts of neutral nations to interfere or arbitrate in the struggle...
