 "There's nothing funny about Q l,ospita1," said Joe, "but 1t makes you want to wh0op and hoiler ana raise Cain when you get out, you're so glad. The reaction makes you want to stir up Q lot of futi."y
 And Joe certainly did 1t in his latest First National picture in which he wins q marathon swim ming race, after having been mis- taken for the champion, although he couldn't swim stroke. Inciden- tally Joe Is tipped off an aqua plane. is nearly chewed up by fishes, Is caught in seaweed and nearly drownkd.

they occupied after a sharp
fight. The Chinese then began
retreating.
Japanese reinforcements
were rushed up and pushed
the Chinese out of Kiangwan
Village, swinging their flank
and forcing them back in a
northwesterly direction.
The Chinese then counter
attacked and regained foot
hold in Kiangwan.
Jap Advance Checked
The Japanese attempted to
press northward, rushing the
Chinese entrenchments just
outside the northern extremi-
ties of the community.
The advance was checked,
however, the Chinese stubbornly
resisting. Firmly entrenched, the
Chinese were at an advantage
over the Japanese, who were
forced to traverse :; rough terrain
of open country, fully exposed
to Chinese rifle and machine-gun
fire.
Unable to continue the advance,

while a heavy artillery lombard

little effect.
