 Ranking, Tokyo

PEIPING, July 30.-China today ordered her crack Central Army of 50,000 soldiers into action to drive the Japanese out of North China.
 As heavy artillery began eating into the historic city, Americans sought refuge in Yenching Univer- sity, south of here.
 Grave apprehensions are express ed for American citizens, believed to be five women and three men.
 Fighting is general throughout Peiping. Japanese are believed remnants of the Chinese 29th Army, the main body of which holds positions across the river.
 All communications with Yench- ing University are severed.
 The Japanese seem to be making huge preparations to meet the Gen. tral Army in push of troops, tanks and armored cars.
 At Tokyo, the Japanese cabinet decided on series of second steps," officers declared that Japan must attack if the Chinese Army moves into the so-called demilitarized zone.

But Spreckles is a refiner; Biting

They agree, within five per cent.
Beet Sugar
With restrictions upon. cane and
beet sugar, combined, to 25 per cent
of the countrys demands, beet sugar
growers have failed to measure up to
their domestic quota.

For some years agricultural ex-
