The Japanese vials of wrath may be full to the brim. But fuller still are the reservolts of man-power in China. The spirit of the Chinese people is Intomiltable. The Republic of China is well disciplined by her danger. In a night, in an hour, all political differences have passed utterly awny, and China rises up to a man, relueluntly. but determined und united to meet the Japanese challenge of her right to live.
