ship Paris, still little startled that
the first present given to him after
he reached this country was a hip
flask.
"All the young people Of the society
set in New York want Is a quick
shot. and nothing else matters" he
said. "It is nothing for me to go out

on most of the cafes. But there is
one thing to be said for the Ameri-

everything into pint hip flask. And

Record Casualties
By Both Armies
In Chinese Fighting

Peking. Dec. 27-(AP)-The battles
which led to the defeat Of the Chihli
army of General Ii Ching-Ling and
the occupation of Tientsin by Marshal
Feng Yu-Hsiang were the most can
culinary ever fought in modern China,
in the opinion of observers. Twenty
three hundred wounded in the Nam
yuan Hospital alone doubtless repre-
sent only a small proportion of the
kuominchum Feng's army casual
ties. whose total probably will never be
known.
General Ii is reported to have esti-
mated his dead at 1000 and to have
boosted that his was smaller than the
enemy's
Because Of the nature Of the con-
sicts and the inadequate field hospital
service. thousands died in the trenches
and open country from wounds and
exposure.
The reports Of the reverses suffered
by General Kuo Smuggling, who was
executed after his defeat by Marshal
Chang Tsao-Lin, around Mukden open
up new chapter. since with hostile
forces north and south of Tientsin, the
tenure of the Kuominchun Is aues-
uonable. 1t is not expected, however.
that any attempt will be made to re-
capture Tientsin because of the ex-
haustion of resources on all sides. 1t
is believed that railway service will be
reopened to Tientsin at an early date.
