Soldier Who Threw

Several Chinese wounded soldiers who had been just brought back from the foremost war front were waiting at a railway station for a train, bound for Hsuchow. Their feet were seared with mud and their clothes stained with blood. Bandages wrapped, round their arms had been soaked with blood which was seen trickling down.
In spite of their wounds their faces still all smiles and no signs of mutimur were observed. They were chatting among themselves and it was heard that they did not like to proceed for medical trest-. ment.

Battle Of Taierchwang Won
Many Years Ago
The Chinese did not win the battle at Taierchwang on April 7. when, after s 16--day-long siege, they put the main body of the Japanese Itakagi divisions to rout. In fact, they won it long before the present war had even started.
For many years in the past, students in the Chinese War College picked Talerchwang as their favourite rendezvous in their field prac- tices in southern Shantung. During these war games which were as a rule carefully planned and executed, they thoroughly familiarized themselves with the terrain around Talerehwang. For they had anti- cipated that some day the Japanese would try to come down south that way.
