.CHINA>S 100000 SOLDIERS
NOLONCER UMBRELLA ARMY
Resistance Offered to japanese Invaders in
Shanghai Battle Reveals Spirit
Heretofore Unsuspected.

It was consequently believed that the
Chinese troops, which have been fight
ing for years their small personal
wars. with a few guns going on at
hourly intervals, would desert their
positions and run before the japanese
infantry. inferior in numbers, began
the attack.
Chinese Stand Firm.
Nothing Of the sort happened. The
Chinese held their ground with such
success that foreigners who witnessed
the Shanghai battle we're astounded.
The reason for the remarkable re-
sistance of the Chinese is not difficult
to understand They were fighting a
war. no longer against other Chinese
but against foreign invader. To re-
treat before him would have put them
to shame. 1t was matter Of life and
death, and they preferred death to re-
treat.
But while the Chinese soldiers have
shown that they are willing to fight
and fight well, that they can change
from umbrella soldiers" into real war
riors. the Chinese commanders do not
change so easily from political gen.
erals" into patriots, as Westerners
understand that word.
Some of the generals it is said, are
even now, while thousands of Chinese
are dying for the defense Of Shanghai,
quite prepared to strike a bargain with
the Japanese. if that bargain can be
turned into profit for themselves.
There are indications. however, ac-
cording to reliable reports from China,
that the vast Chinese public is becom-
ing intensely nationalistic Should
these reports prove accurate it is
possible that political bargains between
the Japanese and the Chinese generals
will be rendered impossible.
And in that eventuality the japanese
are faced with long and costly war.

Of Shanghai Native
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VALLEY STREAM, N. Y, Feb
ruary a. The Sino-Japanese
strife has made a good flyer out
of Allen J. Chang, a native Of
Shanghai.
When guns first started to roar
through the city where he was
born he hastened to Curtiss-
Wright Airport to take lessons. so
he could go back and battle
Japan in the air.
In a few weeks he will receive
his transport license. Instructors
say he has become a flyer
ranking with the best. He has
applied to his government for
instructions as to whether to
remain here and organize a Chi
nese flying class or return i'm
mediately to fight.
Two other New York Chinese
are also taking lessons.

HISTORIC HOUSE
SALE DENIED

Rumors that the Hammond
Harwood House at Annapolis,
Colonial landmark now used as
q museum, would be sold as an
economy move were denied today
by DR.. James Bordley, jr. chair
man of the committee on Colonial
properties of the st. Johns Col
lege board of visitors and
governors.
Recent reports which indicated
that the famous home would be
sold to DR.. Douglas Huntley
Gordon, president of st. Johns
College were declared to be
untrue.
Although sale of the historic
house has been suggested, DR..
