SHANGHAI, October 10 Sunday =
While a million youthful soldiers under
Chinese Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek and a quarter Of q million of
Japanese Emperor Hirohito's warriors
we're squared of today on all fronts,
the rest of China observed the nation S
important holiday - the Double
Tenth"
The anniversary-on the tenth day
Of the tenth month-marks the revolu-
ton which resulted in creation Of the
Chinese republic.
Lull Around Shanghai.
The celebrations, subdued because Of
the grave national crisis, came as
there was a comparative lull in the
fighting at Shanghai. due to torrents
of rain pouring from ominous black
skies.
Despite lessening in activities along
some of the battle fronts. the Japanese
advanced along the Tsinpu Railway,
carrying the war well into Shantung
Province as the invaders pressed
southwark to Techchow.
Reports received at Peiping said
Japanese forces opened drive yester-
day against Chinese lines along the
Hutoso River in an effort to reach
Shihiachuang, Hopeh Province.
Young and old throughout the
nation solemnly pledged redoubled
efforts to prevent Japan from extend
ing her domains toward China in
observances Of independence day."
Chang Leads Celebration.
The central figure in the celebra-
tions was Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek. The Chinese regard this modest
soldier their George Washington as a
result OF his heroic battles for the
emancipation OF China.
He declared China would fight with
out ceasing to preserve the republic the
Chinese leader Sun Yat-sen founded.
Speaking last night in a nationwide
broadcast from Nanking, Chang Kali
shek told the Chinese people there is
no hope of short-lived hostilities. He
said the war would be long and ex-
hausting and would not end in a
few months.
Both the japanese and Chinese
watched with apprehension the dawn
Of the national holiday. The Chinese
have boasted they would celebrate with
successful drive against the Jap
anese in the Shanghai sector: the
latter hoped to make the day one of
humiliation for their adversary.
Japanese army spokesman said all
evidence indicated preparations for 4
Chinese withdrawal from the entire
Shanghai front in the near future. He
added the Japanese march toward the
Yellow River was proceeding ahead
Of schedule.
Reports from Tsinanfu said the
japanese pressed their battle line
within 40 miles OF that point. The dis
patches said heavy Japanese bombing
OF the railway caused an exodus OF
the Tsinanfu populace eastward to
Tsingtao.
The government OF the British
crown colony at Hong Kong appointed
a commission to investigate the al
legged sinking OF Chinese fishing junks
by Japanese warships. Reports said
hundreds Of fishermen died when sub
marines and destroyers sank their
craft on the China Coast.

Contents included one large COB

ate that.
Police couldn't figure out
whether Mills was hungry or just
absent-minded and he wouldn't
say.

10 HEARST.

NEW YORK, July 23.-wil
liam Randolph Hearst was
praised as the man who made
possible the unofficial Senatorial
commission on Palestine in q
recent speech by Elihu D. Stone
vice president Of the Zionist or
ganization Of America, before the
Zionist convention in New York
Mr.. Stone said in part:
II am glad to rise for the
purpose Of supporting the resO-
luton. and urge its adoption
by the convention. Indeed, We
owe . great debt Of gratitude
70 the three Senators for the
signal service they rendered to
the Jewish people and Palestine.
These Senators presented our
case eIOquently, sympathetic
ally and fairly before the en-
Nghtened American public
opinion.
PRAISES REPORTS
"The publication Of their re-
ports in the Hearst newspapers
was q priceless contribution. It
must be remembered that the
Senators went to Palestine last
winter, commissioned by MIR.
Hearst, at q time when the Arab
disturbances were at their
height; when the outlook was
very dark; when q friendly word
was sadly needed; when it was
Of the utmost importance to
the Jewish people to make the
American public cOnversant
with their case. The commits
sion did it beautifully and rev.
erently. 80.
'Tt Is my impression that it
was the Hearst senatorial COM
mission which first called to the
concern Of the United States In
the affairs Of Palestine and the
mandate, by virtue of the terms
Of the treaty Of 1924 executed
between the United States and
Great Britain with reference to
Palestine It is our duty and
privilege as ZiOnistS to say to
the Senators that we are deeply
grateful to them.
THANKS MIR. HEARST
"Let us convey to Mr.. William
Randolph Hearst, who made the
senatorial commission possible,
that we are appreciative Of his
most valued service to the cause
Of our people and Palestine, by
widely publishing the reports Of
the three Senators in his news
papers. It was . manifestation
Of friendship at . time when
that friendship was most
needed - ~. @=.a
'tFor. all these we will be for
ever grateful to MIR. Hearst

people. We may forgive our
enemies, but we never forget

Noted Detective Reenters
Crater Case inquiry


NEW YORK, July % Q.N.SO
An internationally known private
detective who investigated the dis
appearance Of Supreme Coudt Jus
tice Joseph Force Crater seven
years ago suddenly reentered the
case today and hurriedly left fol
Maine to question the missing
Tammany judges wife.
Another development was the
newly awakened interest in the
death Of Joseph Mara, personal
attendant and confidential aid Of
Crater.
Mara is the man named in
two of Crater's puzzling with,
drswals Of large sums Of money
from banks and the one identi'
fled as having cashed checks
totaling $500 for the missing
jurist on the day he disappeared.
Apparently in good health,
Mara, son Of John Mara, Demo.
cratic leader in the Washington
Heights section, died suddenly at
Calicoon, N. Y, a few months
after Justice Crater dropped
from sight. The explanation
given was that he suffered from
8 blood clot on the brain.
The I1asty trip to Maine by
Erwin j. Smith, president of the
International Secret Service Asso-
citation, was revealed today as
being connected with a definite
suspicion that Crater is alive in
Mexico. . .... .... =.
