Masterpiece For White House
CHINESE PROFESSOR PAINTS PICTURE FOR PRESIDENT.
The White House at Washington will soon be decorated with a Chi nese painting entitled "A Hundred Pigeons by Professor S. C. Chang of Central University. It is being rushed to Washington in a Clipper 'plane. The painting was recently presented to President Roosevelt through "Mr. Nelson Johnson, American Ambassador to China, "át a meeting held at Chungking at which Dr. Wang Chung-hul, Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, Sir Archi- bald Clark Ker, British Ambas- sador to China. Dr. H. H. Kung and Mr. Lo Chia-len, president of Central University, were present.
100. PIGEONS
Exactly 100 pigeons were painted in various colours by Professor Chang on a long scroll of paper, together with some trees and flowers. Each bird has its own form and they all are engageed in cifferent activities in one painting which measures 14 feet in width
and six feet in length. The pigeons which are sald to symbolize peace and friendly relations between China and the United States, are all life-like and attracted a large crowd of ligh officials and. diplo- mats at the presentation cere- mony. On the right hand corner of the painting, General Chiang Kai- shek wrote four Chinese characters meaning "righteous peace."
REACH ON JAN. 20
This Chinese masterpiece of fine arts is expected to reach America before January 20 so that it may be hung inside the White House just before President Roosevelt is officially inaugurated as president for his third term.
It took Professor Chang the whole summer to finish the work
while Japanese planes were con- tinuously bombing Chungking. Professor Chang himself handed over the painting to Mr. Johnson and spoke a few words explaining the motive of the presentation to the American President.

British Patrols Exploring The Defences Of Tobruk
CAIRO, Jan. 16 (Reuter) The period of waiting before the attack on Tobruk is essential not only on account of patrol activity to explore Tobruk's defences but also because of the necessity of storing up generous supplies of food, water and ammunition, writes Reuter's correspondent outside Tobruk,
"In this desert war, the quartermaster seems to have become" almost as important as the Aghting man," said one ofcer who explained that some idea of the Army of the Nile's present blems and past achievements could be got when the present cam- palen is expressed in terms of Eritain itself.
