AN APOLOGY AND CORRECTION
For the past day or so our editors in charge have inadvertently inserted the words "Northern and Southern" in these columns in connection with the Revolutionary War. Such words are entirely misleading, and the Manage. ment of the Gazette has to apologize its readers for such a mistake.

The Management wishes it be peremtorily and explicitly understood that the war in China in NOT between the North and the South, but between the progressive Nationalists and the reactionary militarists. Any one who is a loyal adherent of the Kuo- mintang and a faithful follower of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen is progressive Nationalist,
