SATURDAY, APRIL 5, 1930,

Should the invaders succeed in seizing Tsinan, Nanking itself would be placed in jeopardy, as the use of the Tientsin-Pukow Rail- way would greatly facilitate the task of the Kuominchun and Shana troops. Moreover, the. position of Shanghai would also be extremely awkward in auch an eventuality. The events of the next few days in Shantung therefore appear to be charged with the utmost im- portance, and the whole trend of the future struggle looks like being influenced by what happens there. As to the cause of the war, how ever much the rebel leaders may declare their concern for the future welfare of the people, it is evident that the whole matter once again boils down to a struggle for power. The Felyang leaders, as we see the situation, are not so much opposed to the Kuomintang as to Chiang Kai-shek, the ousting of whom from power is what they really seek. The question as to whether he can retain his leader-

Nature had never intended Sir Paul Plyant to play the role of the hen-pecked husband. when she gave him a temper that was hot and stubborn, and a beard that was long and brist- ling.

M'Clusky reluctantly followed, and was not even allowed to stay long enough for Kuttle to pour out the other half. When they had gone, Eunice breathed a sigh of re lief. If all the ladies in Chaomoy were as unusual as the pair she had met, it was going to be much more difficult to take charge of things and run them here than it had been in Hongkong. They were certainly not behind the times and one could hardly call them lacking in personality. Eunice's picture of herself as the Number One lady in the port be- gan to fade into the background.
