Active in Japanese “occupied" central and eastern Sülyuan. bat unknown to the outside world, is Sulyuan's forgotten army. Organised in September, 1937, or 10 weeks after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, this army is made up of Sulyuan pentry, educat- ed young men, party workers, local militia, and peace preserva- tion corps. It has at the present 9,000 mounted warriors. Gen- eral Fu" Tso-yi, Governor of Sulysan, is in command,

This forgotten army, officially known as the Suiyuan Peo- ple's Self-Defence Army, is probably the first people's army organized after the outbreak of the present war. It also dis- tinguishes itself as the first army organised and commanded by provincial people and party workers.

A $50.000 subsidy was given by the government when the army was Arst organised. It has fought unceasingly for the defence of Butyuan, and is still active behind enemy lines.

Commanded by 60-year-old Chang Ching. the forgotten army started with only 3,500 men, After fall of Suiyuan city and Paotow, regular troops in this district evacuated to western Sulyuan: The forgotten army. however, turned back and made the familiar Tachingshan (Great Green Moun- tata) range its buse for guerilla operations

"What has been the driving force behind the Nazi movement? It has been the German youth.

"Deliberately deprived, as they have been, of the elements of true judgment, it is they who made the movement and still sustain it,

"They have their own ideals, which, to our minds, are dis- torted, but for which hundreds of thousands of them are pre- pared, without 4 moment's hesitation, to sacrifice their Ulves.

"There is what seems an im- penetrable barrier dividing from them. which somehow must Be broken down."
