Gen. Chang Of Kentucky


Special Dispatch to The Star.
n IEW YORK, February 4.-Over
N In China in the thick of the
I Vi fighting is Gen. Chang Hui
4 Y Chang. They call him Gen.
Chang, and he is commander
in chief Of the Chinese air forces, but
his name isn't Chang at all, and he
isn't even Chinese.
Gen. Chang originally was a Ken
tucktan, and his home now is at Hig-
ginsville, Mo. In the United States and
in practically every other country of
the world, the head of the Chinese air
service is known as Bert Hail. During
the World War as a member of the
Lafayette Escadrille. this air Fighter
bagger 20 enemy planes, and received
official credit tor nine. There is no
telling how many additional will be
added to his crop If the Sino-Japanese
conflict continues.
Gen. Chang Since 1929.
During the World War he crossed
tracer bullets with the finest airmen
the Germans produced and he came
out able to answer roll call on all but
a few occasions. He is one of the best
flyers in the Orient.
Hall has been Gen. Chang since 1929,
but only his relatives and his closest
friends knew it for a long time after
he had adopted the Oriental name
Since then he has slipped from one
command to another as various Chinese
factions came into power Only last
Summer, according to a letter received
here by Lieut.. John j. Niles, who first
met Hall when they both we're flying
in France, Gen. Chang took seven of
his best pilots and deserted the Nank-
ing government to become head Of the
air corps of the Canton government.
His friends are watching develop
ments closely across the Pacific, for
they know that Bert will be found
wherever there is fighting. and when
last heard from he was headed in the
direction of the trouble.
Fought for Abdul Hamid.
Gen. Chang was one of the original
organizers of the Lafayette Escadrille.
He is aviation's first real soldier of for
tune. He started when airplaneS were
still in their infancy and has battled
under half dozen flags. Before the
World War, Hall had drifted to Turkey,
where Abdul Hamid was fighting the
Bulgars, and became the Turkish air
force-he was the only flyer-at Sl00 a
day. Later he shifted over to the Bull
gar1an side, when the Turks cut his
pay. He was in Paris when the guns
started booming in 1914 and promptly
enlisted in the Foreign Legion.
In December, 1914, Halls name was
put on the roster of the French Flying
Corps. Hall and Bill Thaw are the

tCopyright, 1882. by the Associated Press)
TOXIC, February Ave think We
owe the world an explanation OF our
activities at Shanghai in view Of the
misunderstanding and to avoid the
result of misinformation concerning the
present conditions there.
First and foremost, we have done
nothing that was not justified by the
strict need Of protection for our ma
tionals from the persecution Of the
Chinese soldiers and our actions have
been entirely defensive and passive.
The trouble started January %,
Chinese force suddenly attacking us
while we were, in pursuance Of the pre-
vicus agreement of foreign garrison
commanders, proceeding to the stations
allotted to us to guard. There was no
alternative for us but to fire in return.
1000 Against 10000
1t is not common sense to believe
that our handful of bluejackets would
assume an offensive against force
ten-fold larger When the conflict be-
gan we had 1000 against 10000
Chinese. We had every disadvantage
to suffer and nothing to gain by start
ing hostilities. We took the final action
only because we we're driven to the last
extremity by the behavior of the Chi
nese soldiery.
TIE charge that Japan used the In
ternational Settlement as a base for
attack also is unfounded. Our force
took up stations to protect japanese
residents according to the previous
agreement with the military authori-
ties of the other powers and the Chi
nese happened to launch their attack
against this section. We were COM
PEELED to defend the point whittier the
attack was directed as an act OF self
defense, pure and simple.
Criticisms of the japanese air bomb
ing have been unnecessarily harsh.
They could only arise from ignorance
of the actual situation. That was the
only choice left for our small force,
facing overwhelming odds. Moreover.
before the beginning of the bombing,
we secuted carefully, identifying the
points where the enemy was nlassing
in close formation and then gave full
warning, allowing ample time for them
to heed.
Declares Neutrals Are Fair.
We dropped bombs on their armored
trains or points where they were oper-
ating artillery against us. All sorts OF
rumors afioat abroad are calculated to
breed Ill feeling against Japan. For
example, there is talk of increasing
friction between japanese and Amerl-

OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
BY HENRY McLEMORE

United Press staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, March Il U.R)-Get
me straight right from the start.
I'm not one to question the time old
preceptS Of good behavior and right
living. I believe early to bed, early
TO rise makes for great wealth, hap
pineSs, bulging bicepS and a well
filled upper story. and that nothing
IS better for young and old alike
than plenty of eggs. milk, setting
up exercises, a generous supply of

frown on smoking anything strong
er than corn silks before the age
OF 2l.
But this thing has got me Won
dering. I mean the strange reac-
ton OF jerome II. Dizzy Dean,
rookie pitcher extraordinary of the
world champion st. Louis Cardinals.
Just about a year ago the Dizzy
one was the sensation of the Card
inals camp in sleepy little Braden-
ton. During the day Dizzy would
ascend the mound and proceed to
throw fast ones, slow ones, high
ones, low ones, straight ones,
crooked ones and hippity-hop ones
that Cardinal regulars couldn't hit
with a canoe padle. Then the
Dizzy one would proceed to make
merry at a very fast pace. I have
1t from a reliable source that he
painted the town and its enyirons a
vivid red.
He was especially adept at spend
ing money-whether he had any or
not. He hadn't been in camp a
week before he had spent more
than he would make in 1882 '33
and half of "a. Manager Street
finally was forced to put Dean on.
a dollar a day allowance. This
didn't curb Dizzy one iota so in
the end Street farmed him out to
one of the st. Louis assembly plants
in Texas.
This year Dean is back for an
other chance. He is chastened and
changed young man. Nine o'clock
finds him in bed, sound asleep. He
spends as much as so cents a day
only on those occasions when he
feels he must let himself go and
have a saSparilla. He wears red
flannels. He speaks in a quiet /
voice, orders spinach and tomato
juice at every meal, always asks the
owners permission before borrowing
a car, tips his hats to ladies and
old men, and looks twice before
crossing a street.
Loses His Ability
But-and this is what's got me
baffled three ways from the deuce
the man seems to have lost the
pitching touch he had when he was
a-a--ah. rounder. He met with dis
aster in two exhibition games. The |
Athletics blasted him for four home /.
runs in the first inning of the first
game. Yesterday the Reds, a team
famed for its ability to hit nothing
at all times, slaped him for five hits
and as many runs in three innings. .
Now like this Dean fellow, and
l hate to see him spend another .
summer out there in Texas under .
a blazing sun and no one to pal .
around with but a couple of horned .
frogs. So l have organized the
Loyal and Incorporated Order of
Dizzy Deaners," or Give the man
back his buttermilk jug and unlim-
tied curfeW law" society.
This, I think, will restore the
mans old cunning and skill out there
on the firing line.
