New York, Feb. 15.
The Japanese armies which are attempting to con- quer China coon may find themselves faced with a new kind of Chinese government and a new type of military strategy.
So far the Japanese have been fighting Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang party forces and those allied with his old central government in Nanking before he formed his "all-China anti-Japanese front."
In the future they may face the veteran soldiers of the" Chinese Soviet government, generally considered to be the ablest guerilla fighters modern Asia ever has known.
Military phases of the Sino-Japanese hostilities, in the sense of warfare between Japan and the old Chinese central govern- ment, appear to be nearing an end.

The tactics of the Chinese Reds were confirmed recently in a dia patch from Jack Belden, United Press correspondent at Hankow who Interviewed Wang Min, a member the Chinese Soviet political of bureau and a former Chinese Com- munist cavey to Moscow. Belden telegraphed:
"I met Wang Min. He told me the Chinese Communists do not desire to control the Chinese government. He said they would accept posts in what remains of the Chinese govern- ment only at the express Invitation of the Nationalists."
Mr. Beiden then quoted Wang Min as follows:-

Dad Will Not Let
Smoke-At 67!
A 67-years-old Welshman told a London newspaper:
dare not smoke when Dad Is around."
"
His father, Morgan Morgan, of Bendrefawr Farm, Rhigos, Glamorgan, a non-smoker and total abstainer, who was 94 this month, was busy in the fields on his birthday, when most people in snow-clad Wales were huddled near the fireside.
A miner for 50 years and former for 30 years, old Mr. Morgan has escaped death many times.
When working at a Treherbert colliery he was trapped in an underground fire and severely burned.
A few years later he was swept away by a mountain torrent and almost drowned.

A Soviet spy ring headed by a Russian engineer was disclosed to-day to have been smashed by the Fascist Secret Police.
The ringleader, Gregor Grigorieff, aged forty, was sentenced to thirty years' imprisonment, and thirteen others, one of whom is a Polish citizen, received sentences ranging from ten to twenty years.
The organisation worked, according to the official charges, under cover of the official Russian delegation with headquarters In Milan.
The sples were tried secretly by the special tribunal. Details of such trials are never published.
It is officially slated that the organisation has been operating for nearly two years, and that Grigorieff bought military Information with bribes in same casts ns high as 400,000 lire (about £4,000).
