Almost a year of trouble and strife has failed to leave its mark on this military genius whose leadership of the Chinese evokes the admiration of the world in general. When the first shot was fired at Lukuochino on that fateful July 7, last year, the Generalissimo knew that China would stand litle or no chance against the Japanese if they were to engage the invaders in pitched battles. He therefore planned to prolong the war and although there were those who quick- {17 criticised this method of warfare at that time, these same crities

feel gratided at the magnificent spirit shown by the Chinese nation as a whole, and the civilian population in particular. Opposed to people like the Japanese who recognise no law in their lust for more territory. the Chinese realise that the sacrifices they have to make must of necessity be very heavy and they have made them without a murmur.

But the country in a quiet way is massing her resources to meet the very great demands that are being made of her, and if the day should come that every man in the country is needed for active service, the call will not be made in vain Meanwhile every Chinese should take heart from the words of the Generaliskimo-that "the final victory of the war will be ours."
