BRITISH YOUTH TAKES
TRAINING FOR SKIING
Climbs Steps of Monument Every
Day Before Leaving on Trip
to Switzerland.

LONDON, (NANA).-Winter sports
are still much in the air, and those
young people not already in Switzerland
are planning to go within the next few
weeks or so.
One of the chief drawbacks to a ski
ing holiday Is the terrible agony that
assails ones leg muscles after the first
day out One bright young man, how
ever, has solved this problem ingen-
iously.
For three weeks before he starts for
Switzerland he climbs every day, and
some times twice a day, the 300-odd
steps of the monument Doing this
slowly and in various styles, he finds
that he gets the necessary preliminary
training within a stones throw of his
Office. Later he will graduate to the
somewhat sitter ascent of the tower Of
Westminster Cathedral.
His only crouch is that he cannot
obtain season ticket at reduced rates
for entrance to the monument. He is
strongly of the opinion that the view
from the top in foggy weather is dear

Changsa Slated for ReCapture
As Nanking Troops Retreat
And Foreigners Board Ship

SHANGHAI, Aug. 13 U.NS0.
While Nationalist forces and
those Of the northern rebel
leader, Marshal Feng Yuhsiang,
were deadlocked along the Lung
hal railway, Communist hordes
today swept through the southern
Yangtse Valley.
Weakened by Withdrawals, the
Nanking troops evacuated Chang.
sha, in Human Province, leaving
the city at the mercy of the Reds
for the second time this summer.
Re-entry by Reds into the COM
munity they pillaged a few
weeks ago was said to be immi-
nent, causing thousands Of
Chinese to flee the vicinity. All
foreigners in the city have
boarded foreign gunboats.
I'd City PeriIed
Communists are approaching
Changsha with vengeance in
their hearts on reports that the
Nanking commanders hunted
down Reds in the past 10 days
and daily executed nearly $50
suspects.
A second city reported in i'm
mediate danger of capture by the
Communist is Kanchow, south
east of Changsha.
Troops to Decide
The fate of the Nationalist
government Of President Chang
Kai-Shek revolved upon the
ability Of his troops to gain the
upper hand in heavy fighting
now raging along the Lunghai
railway line. If they are VIC
toriouS, the Marking government
would probably find the capture
of Tsinan an easy mark.
In addition, the Nanking gov
ernment would be in dominant
position to deal aggressively, not
only with the northern rebels
but also with the raiding Com.
munists in the southern part Of
the YangtSe valley.
