CONQUERING CHINA

Reports from the Orient indicate that Japan in throwing additional endorsements into China is at tempting to subdue the Chinese and end the unde- clared war before the heavy winter season sets in. Without outside intervention to the aid of China, most observers of the belief that Tokyo may be able to accomplish at least part of its goal That s it may be able in a few months take that portion of China which it is now concentrating Actually, complete submission of China with her 100000 men under arms and her many millions of population is a much larger problem.
 But from the military viewpoint, Japan is the certain its better trained personnel ana far superior equipment Rough figures of the com parative strength of the two forces reveal:
 MEN
 Japan-Standing army: Seventeen divisions,
 280000 officers and men, plus native
 Manchukuoan army of 100000 to 15o,o00
 officered by Japanese. Trained re-
 serves-2O00000
 China-Soldiers owing allegiance to Nanking
 and local lords, about 160 divisions
 totang 900 men, plus Chinese Com
 munist irregulars in northwest provinces
 numbering 100000 to 150,000 men Trained
 reserves-Probaby none
 PLANES
 Japan-Planes Combat, first line, army and
 navy-1,800 to 2,000.
 China-Planes Combat, first line-2OO to 300
 SHIPS
 Japan-Nayy: 200 combatant ships of the five 
 principal categories, totaling 745,6o4 tons,
 plus smaller vessels
 China-Navy: Nine light cruisers totallng 2o-
 500 tons, all except two of them obsolete,
 plus smaller vessels.
 While sympathies generally may be with China it is obvious from the foregoing figures why military authorities quick victory for Japan It IS iney- table the untraned hordes of China are brought into the trained units that the Japanese boast. But as Lin Yutang the brilliant Chinese scholar points out in his My Country and My People China has been conquered many times before by force of arms. But actually she has never been conquered The Mongo hordes rode China in an earlier day But the Mongol warriors have long since vanished and old China goes on in her way and with her own quaint customs and traditions
 The Japanese can Kill a lot of Chinese They can seize Chinese lands But then they will not have conquered China. Her teeming millions will absorb any invaders which within her borders. At any rate they have been doing it for 5000 years and more which is fair proof of her ability to survive

its vicinity has been more favored by
trout fishermen and swimmers.
Between these two falls is an area
Of twenty acres Of primeval hemlock
that has been set aside as recreation
area. Paths, benches, stone fireplaces
and drinking fountains have been
constructed to enable lovers of the
out-of-doors to enjoy some of the
conveniences of civilization. The main
trail through this area has been built
to circle the banks Of the Youghio-
gheny River and Muddy Creek, going
through dense masses of azaIeas, rho
dodendron and laurel-fowers which
in Garrett county begin to bloom in
June.
Savage River Park
On the northeast side of Oakland
is the Savage River State Forest, con-
tanning 1886 acres, covered largely
by hardwoods and pines. Stretching
along the slopes between the Savage
and Meadow Mountains, the scenery
here is one of the chief attractions, es-
pecially from the fire observation tow
ers. Roads and trails have been de-
veloped through the woodland, and
several picnic and camping sites are
now available.
The main project, however, is at
New Germany, where a recreation area
similar to that of Harrington Manor is
under construction. The artificial lake
is only twelve acres, but it has the adj
ditional features of possessing mill
This is almost a century old and the
CCC workers are restoring its ancinet
water wheel in order to preserve it as
a model of it's kind and a museum for
visitors.
The third State forest is the Poto-
mac, embracing 8,S73 acres Of noun
tain country, where rocky lodges and
steep wooded slopes allow many in
teresting trails and distant views. A
few picnic and camping sites are avail
able. However, there is cutting now in
progress on 5000 acres of virgin tim
Der, delaying the development of recre-
ational areas in this forest for the
coming summer.

Artificial Lakes,
Vacation Cabins,
Trails Being Built
BY PAUL MUSGRAVE
In The Baltimore Sunday Sun,
Issue of May %, 1887.

IF you want to see Maine, come to
Garrett county," reads a road sign
= advertising this mountain plateau
perched on the western top corner Of
Maryland, with its virgin forests of
tamarack and spruce, its maple sugar
industry, upland game and it's tradi-
ton of rock-r.bbed Republicanism.
But for the majority of Maryland
ers, what is expected to be the most
important similarity between Garrett
and its New England counterpart has
been recently acquired. This is a
65,O0O-acre forest playground, to
which are now being added artificial
lakes, vacation cabins, camping sites,
bride paths, trails for mixers in the
summer and skiiers in the winter; in
short, all the features possessed by
those tracts of the Adirondacks and
Catskills set aside by New York State
for recreational use.
Three Year Face Lifting
Thirty thousand of these acres have
been the object of three-year face
lifting operation performed by ap-
proximately 1900 members of the
Civilian Conservation Corps, under
the direction of the State Department
of Forestry. The land is distributed
among three State forests. In each,
recreational areas for the public have

Greeks denizens for experimental pur-
poses. To date, their fate has been
like that of the muskellunge, but with
all the hooks going into the lake this
summer, some fisherman may have an
astounding story to tell.
Hunting Aids
Similarly, for the hunter, this county
is now On its way toward regaining
as large a wild-life population as it
had in 1900, when CARROTS greatest
hunter, Meshack Browning, pushed in
to its unknewn wilderness, built log
| cabin, and settled down to training
his gun (now in the Smithsonian In
stituti0n) en- approximately 1000
deer, zoo black bear, so panthers, TO-
gether with scores CT wildcats and
wolves. Several years ago the game
department began using the State
forests for the conservation of deer,
Wild turkeys, pheasants, bob white,
FGu.TTels, raceoons and ruffed grouse.
Today these traditional inhabitants of
Garrett are once again becoming nu-
E;eTcus.
Already this county is the banner
deer section of Maryland. During each
IF tie past three years, when five
day hunting seasons were permitted,
ever 100 deer were killed. A few weeks
ago, Oakland's traffice was stopped
while deer galloped down the main
street, a veteran buck which, the story
goes, always returns to the game sane
tuary just before the hunting season
opens.
GCing To Go Along
As result of all this attention from
the State, Oakland has decided to do
its part toward becoming recreation
center. A $4,000 golf course is now
under construction, along with sew
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1937-06-10

been developed already, and other
areas are now in the process of being
completed.
Foremost among the projects to be
finished this summer is the one at
Harrington Manor in the Swallow
Falls forest. Just north of Oakland,
the county seat, the forest comprises
1925 acres between the Youghiogheny
river and the West Virginia boundary.
1t is the smallest of the tracts owned
by the State, and devoted largely to
timber growing.
Artificial Lake
In the Harrington Manor section, an
artificial lake covering fifty-fve acres
is being created by the simple expe-
dent of damming Harrington Creek.
Along the shores there will be log
cabins accommodating from two to
six persons), trailer camps, pavilion,
golf course, stables and a boathouse-
the boats and horses to be provided by
the State. A virgin oak forest is one
of the many natural attractions OF the
area, and it is being handicapped and
provided with picnic sites.
Harrington Manor is expected to be-
come Maryland Lake Placid; a CEN
ter for the winter sports now achiev-
ing popularity among adults-skiing,
tobogganing, ice skating. The 105-foot
dam has a concrete spillway designed
to withstand an ice pressure of $4,000
pounds per lineal foot; the area being
over $500 feet above Baltimore, and
part of county which winter ordinar-
lily covers with snow and ice.
Trails for mixers and horseback rid
ers have been made through the entire
forest, and the stables are already
built at Harrington Manor. In addi-
ton, a system of roads is almost COM
pleted to make the recreation area
easily accessible.
Picturesque Falls
Two of Maryland's most picturesque
waterfalls are in this forest: Swallow
Falls, on the Youghiogheny, and
Muddy Creek Falls. At which of these
spots Nature has most distinguished
herself has been subject for some
dispute, but the one on Muddy Greek
is the most spectacular, as well as the
highest GO feet) in the State. More

eral tennis courts. An arrangement has
been worked out with the B. G. o. for
autumn leaf excursions from Balti-
more and Washington.
Should the new facilities of the
State forests achieve popularity, there
will be weekend and vacation excur-
sions, as well as snow trains during
the winter.
