The presence of a Red Army forcs
on the Kwangtung- Fukien border in
dicates the sweeping nature of the
victories achieved by the Chinese Red
Army operating in Fuldep provinces.
Two days ago, bourgeois press dis
patches from South China reported
that the Red Suppression" troops OF
the Kuomintang lackeys Of imperial
ism was in full flight before the ad-
vancing Red Army Two Kuonin-
tang brigades were reported to have
mutinied and Joined the Red Army.
The reported advance on Ungkung
indicate that the Red Army is car
rying the war into the very strong
hold, in Kwangtung province, of the
Canton wing Of the Kuomintang A
Peiping dispatch to the New York
Times reports:
Troops from Kwangtung who
we're sent across the border against
the Communists in Southeastern
Fukien Province were believed TO
have either joined the Communist
forces or to be refusing to fight
and disbanding."
The victories OF the Red Army in
Fulien province have caused the
greatest alarm among the imperial
list plunderers of China and their
Kuomintang tools. Over IS imperial
list warships are being held at Annoy
in an effort to intimidate the revolu-
tionary workers of that seaport, and
to prevent its capture by the Red
Army. Annoy is only IS miles from
the big city Of Changchow which is
now held by the Red Army and the
revolutionary workers in Chagchow.
The long standing quarrel between
the Canton and Marking factions
over the division of the spoils from
the exploitation Of the Chinese mas
Ses crystalized yesterday, with coup
at Canton by Gen. Chen Chiatang
who seized control of the Chinese
fleet and air forces stationed at Can
ton. Admiral Chan Chak, the Nan
king representative, made his escape
TO Hongkong. Gen Chen ousted the
Marking governments commander of
the local air forces and substituted
his own man. A Shanghai dispatch
to the New York Times interprets
these developments as presaging an
other civil war between the Canton
and Marking factions The conflict
between these factions, as between
the various smaller groups in these
factions, reflect the struggle between
the imperialist masters of the various
groups for the control and looting Of
China.
The Marking government is re-
ported to have ordered the reopening
Of the Hanyang arsenal, which had
been clfiosed since the last civilfn
war, and was not opened to help fur
nish munitions for the defense Of
Shanghai against the japanese in
Vaders. The Marking governments
shamelessly sabotaged and finally be-
trayed that defense.
The Shanghai dispatch 10 the
Times report that the Canton group
has over 100 combat planes and IS
raising $4,000, 900 by special taxa
ton to finance the Red Suppres~
sion" campaign None Of these planes

Tense of that South China city
against the Japanese who were left
in unchallenged control of the air
to carry out their murderous aerial
bombing of the denSely populated
proletarian Chapel district.

Long and. Lay
Is Mussel;s
Career

The Bureau of Fisheries has re-
vised its ideas as to the longevity
of fresh-water mussels with dis
covery that one lived to be SIS years
old. It had been believed they
lived no longer than IL to is
years.
DR.. E. M. Ellis, of the bureaus
scientific staff, who studied the
shell Of this mussel, writes that
the history Of conditions of the
Mississippi River from 1846 to
1901 is written in the rings on the
shell much as seasonal conditions
are portrayed in the rings of a
tree. Commissioner Henry O'Mal,
ley pointed out that in periods of
low water the rings in the shell
are small because a smaller
amount oN Sood is within reach of
the mussel. Conversely, high wa
ter and abundant food make pos
sible a wide ring corresponding to
the greater growth of the musSel.

When your skin itches and is fiery

For many years its mighty healing

Read what Temple Carter of Gary,

Peterson's Ointment is for skin troubles.
my whole face was ruined with livid
splashes, blackheads and patches. I
could get, no relief from anything
used. After using the sample box of
Peterson's Ointment the ugly skin be-

night destroyed the 2O-year-old
residence of George E. Barchet, at

VOTE DECISION

Albert V. Bryan will give the
Alexandria electoral board his
decision this week regarding
holding the Democratic primary
for city council on April S.
The date had been set before
the modified Birrel bill was
submitted to the general assembly
and it is felt that it will be
useless to hold a primary to
select two nominees when, under
the terms of the election, the
entire city council structure will
be changed.
1t is admitted by even the
staunchest supporters of the
small council that they will be
unable to defeat the proposal to
enlarge the council to nine

UGLY DUCKL|NG
WINS FAME

Marie DreSSler, star of Emma" :"
at the Columbia, and winner Of
the 1881 award of the Academy OF
Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
for the best screen performance
Of the year, discovered early in
life that she was no beauty.
She didn't care particularly
then and now she is actually glad
Of it. Her success has been due
to her lack of good looks, for she
had natural comedic ability, and
after she adopted the advice of
Maurice Barrymore to play COM
edy roles, she won high rank in
musical comedy and vaudeville.
Now, past go, she is headliner
in talking films.
A few old-timers may remember
that she also scored great hit
in one of the first long silent
comedies, "Tillie's Punctured Ro-
nance" in which she appeared
with a rising youth, later widely
known as Charlie Chaplin.
She has always styled herself
an. ugly duck1ing, and believes
that the world loves laughter even
more than it loves beauty. There
fore, by clowning, she is doing the
work she was intended to do, and
she is thoroughly happy in it. s.
But she doesn't always clown.
She took the lead in organizing
chorus girls for their own protec-
tion, in the Chorus Girls Equity,
and during the World War she
sold more Liberty bonds, perhaps,
than any other stage or screen
celebrity.
