revolutionary workers of China. The
American battleships are up the
Yangtze River. Commissary depart
ments and quartermaster depart
ments are busy getting food sup
plies and clothing for northern eli
mates for the marines, sailors and
soldiers. The military forces in
China of all capitalist countries
have been given a free hand by
their respective governments. This
free hand is for use only against
the Communists and the revolution

argos that the Soviet Union sis
,menting disturbances in Outer
md Inner Mongolia and is pushing
troops southwark to the Chinese
5order to cooperate with Commu-
lists south of the Yangtze." This
move evidently indicates the in
creasing effort of imperialist at
tacks against the Soviet Union.
In connection with Markings re-
newed attack against the Soviet
Union, another event deserves close
attention. In the heat of war and
revolution an agreement for estab-
fishing an air mail and passenger
service. between Marking and Ber-
lin was concluded by the Marking
ministry of communication and the
Lufthansa of Germany recently.
This is the first time in the his
tory of China that an air mail and
passenger service is established be-
tween China and a foreign country.
The time and circumstances under
which this line is established GER
tainly points to the conclusion that
it has an important role to play in
the imperialist attacks against the
Soviet Union and the Chinese Rev.
olution.
A crack division of the Chinese
Red Armies, the Fourteenth Army,
succeeded in approaching the out
skirts of Hankow, the Chicago of
China, on WeI.esday. The attack
has not begun yet, but this spec
tacular visit certainly gave the
workers inside the village great
deal of encouragement and The i'm
perialists and Koumintang authori-
ties a real scare.
The panic of TIC reactionary para
sites in Hankow have another JUS
LITIGATION in the fact that the water
level of the Yangtze River is falling
and large warships will have to be
removed from Hankow before Sep
TENDER Is.
In view of the growing militancy
of the Shanghai workers the Kou-
mintang authorities at Shanghai
have become so nervous and pan
icky that they have declared mar
tial law. Large detachments Of
troops and police are detailed to
guard strategical points and So
called suspicious characters" are
searched. White terror reigns in
the city.

The workers are striking against

hat the government and the bosses

nd that the wages of all workers

China SOvIETS
Fall of Changsha Is
Blow to Trotskyites

M0SCOW.-Commenting on the
aking of Changsha and Nanrhang
~ the Red troops, the Pravda
writes:
"Changsha under the Soviet rule
means that the proletarian revolu-
lion in South China has captured
is first big town. Changsha has a
certain proletarian backbone, but
the peasant movement has now OBJ
aimed proletarian leadership The
Kuomintang counter-revolution and
the imperialist powers behind it
have suffered a severe defeat. In
semi-colonial country the Soviet
idea is gaining ground in the strug-
gle against the bourgeois counter
revolution and against Imperialism.
"Trotsky prophesied long period
of the blacklist reaction for China,
while the Chinese Trotskyists, Chen
and the other renegades supported
him. The Trotskyists rejected the
feminist policy of the Communist
International. The taking of Chang
sha by the revolutionary troops was
a hard blow both for the Trotsky-
lists and the right-wing renegades.
Only little while ago Roy sreered
at the Chinese Communists, who,
he declaredy were leading "the pea
SAINT masses i, the most backward
parts of backward China and hoped
to form Soviet governments.
"The taking of Changsha is the
defeat of the Chinese right-wing OPP
portunists who wanted to replace
the slogan of Soviets by that Of the
constitutional assembly. The for
nation of Soviet governments is on
the agenda in China. Only the Sow
let government in China can lead
the country out of the present blind
alley. The agrarian revolution
must be the revolution of the poor
and middle peasants and it must be
supported fearlessly by the Com
munists. The Communists must
also support the introduction of the
8-hour day, wage increases and So
cial legislation, etc. The proletariat
of Hankow, Shanghai and the other
industrial towns must be drawn into
the struggle. The victory of the
Red troops gives the international
proletariat important duties. I'M
perialist Intervention against the
revolution has taken place in the
past and It will take place agan.
The imperialists are already inter-
vening against Soviet China. The
August LIST campaign must support
the Chinese workers and peasants
in their struggle. The cause of
Soviet China is the cause of the in
ternational proietariat."

PARIS, December 27.-Marshal Joffre,
the gallant old soldier who turned back
the Germans in the first battle Of the
Marine, lay between life and death to-
night in the hospital where his left
leg was amputated last Saturday.
Gangrene developing in the advanced
stages of arteritis made the amputation
imperative, his doctors said. But the
operation was no so successful as they
hoped and the latest bulletins on the
patients condition were gloomy. It
looked as though the general were going
to lose his greatest battle.
Wife withheld News.
1t was Nine. Joffre, adhering to her
husbands policy since his illness began,
who withheld news of the marshal's
grave illness since last Friday, when he
was taken TO the hospital of st. jean
de-Dieu. He went there on December
10 and the amputation was performed
the next day. The leg was taken of
above the knee to arrest the progress
Of the infection.
But there was danger of infection in
the other leg also and the doctors said
they had tentatively decided TO per-
form a second operation today. In
however, 1t became obvious
that the old gentleman-he Is nearly
79-could not possibly stand it.
Immediately after it became known
that the marshal was gravely i'll, runners
few about the city, which loves this
man, whose soldiers called him Papa"
Joffre. He was believed for a time
to be at his chateau in Louveciennes,
near Versailles. Then there was re-
port that his right leg had been
amputated. His doctors set these things
right in definite announcement de-
scribing the patients condition as
grave" with pulse of rs and a
temperature of 1922 degrees.
Arteritis Is an Inflammation of the
arteries which often develops gangrene
It first struck the marshal last Summer
but he always denied reports of his ILL
ness, on one occasion going so far as to
appear at public function in his honor
when he was far too sick to be abroad.
Americans Call Early.
Among the first persons to call today
to inquire for Papa" Joffre was Nor
man Armour, American charge
d'affaires. Throughout the afternoon
and evening there was steady flow of
distinguished visitors who, however,
were not permitted to enter the build
ing, but received information at the
caretakers lodge.
Although retired, the victor of the
Marine" never has lost his popularity
with the people of Paris, who waited
tonight for word from his physicians.

MAYkN TREASURE HUNT
is PLANNED BY FLYER
Capt. W. T. Long Will Take Of
From Dallas, Tex, Today
for Yucatan.
BY the Associated Press.


DALLAS, Tex, December 27.-Capt.
william F. Long, Dallas flyer and soldier
of fortune, will take off here tomorrow
morning for Merida, Yucatan, Mexico,
bound upon a modern treasure hunt
among ancient Magyar temples and
palaces in the Yucatan peninsula.
He plans to reach Tampico tomorrow
night. leaving Monday morning for
Merida, capital of the Mexican state of
Yucatan. He will be accompanied by a
Mexican archeologist in a quest for
hitherto unexplored ruins. They will
attempt to locate ruins of the ancient
Magyar cities by airplane, later going
overland to the scene.
Capt. Long spent some time exploring
this portion OF Central America five
years ago with three companions. The
natives, however, proved hostile and
after two members of the party had
b:en shot, Capt. Long and Al Hargrave
Of Hobbs, N. Mex, abandoned their
project
The explorers also may go into Qua
temala, where some of the Mayan ruins
were discovered by Col Charles A.
Lindbergh. They plan a rapid trip, ex-
pecting to be back in Dallas within a
few weeks.
