Officer Frank Record, whose
downtown detail includes much OF
the peddler enforcement, recalled
a score of ingenious plans tried by
itinerants for evading the law.
Selling frozen oranges from
house to house is a good gag that
works Until We spot them" Record
said. Selling oriental rugs, that
we're never nearer the Orient than
San Francisco, is another"
Charity schemes pay until inter-
rupted by the police. Not long ago
I noticed a man in uniform making
the rounds on Main street with a
tamborine," Record recalled. He
looked like a Salvation Army man,
but his face wasn't familiar and
stopped him. He whipped out a
charter naming some kind of league
for the needy.' 1t was probably a
one-man organization, capitalizing
on the similarity to Salvation
Army"

approval before being submitted

Kong.
The drive on HankoW really was
a part of the Lunghai railway cam
paign and may be considered to
have started when the Japanese
attacked in force after the Chinese
had won their big victory at Taier-
hchwang.
Experts today believed that the
war may last several weeks or
months longer. unless Generals
simo Chang definitely resigns and
makes way for a leader with whom
the japanese will make peace.
They pointed out that the Japa-
nese still must occupy all the Can
ton-Hankow railway and other COM
munications lines in South China
and must clear the YangtSe river
as far as Ichang, at the foot of the
Yangtse gorges below China's sec
ondary provisional capital in Chung

they can claim a stranglehold on
the vast Chinese republic.

WlllCu Sbdfbtu Tie Ol8nI Oh July 4,
1897, when Chinese and japanese
soldiers clashed at Lukouchiao out
side Peipine.
The first campaign was that in
North China in which japanese
columns rapidly cleared the Peip-
ing-Suiyuan railway, the Peiping-
Hankow railway as far south as
the Yellow river. the Tientsin-Pu-
kow CNanking) railway as far south
as Tsinan-fu capital of Shantung
province, and railways in Shansi
province. This campaign brought
the five northern provinces of Chi
ma, which Japan long had coveted,
under their control-at least so
far as major communications lines
were concerned.
The second campaign resulted in
the capture of the Chinese city of
Shanghai, China's then national
capital in Marking, and the clear
ing Of the Yangtse river as far as
Wuhu-a port above Marking.
The third campaign, which in
most respects was the most decisive
of the war until Hankow was taken.
eliminated in the drive on Suchow-
fu, where the east-west Lunghai
railway crosses the north south
TientSin-Pukow line. and clearing
of the southern stretches of the
Tientsin-Pukow rail system and
the eastern and central stretches
OF the Lunghai railway. 1t would
have been followed rapidly by a
japanese drive on Hankow had
not the Chinese cut the Yellow
river dikes north of the central
parts Of the Lunghai line and
flooded the Japanese out.
The fourth campaign to be COM
pleted was the drive on the great
south China metropolis of Canton

japanese had fought their way

none of which was left standing.
Colonial troops of the French
army guarded the French conces-
sion.
This morning British navy au-
thorities sent a landing party
ashore and concentrated it at the
British consulate.
At 1:30 pm. a landing party Of
30 men was ordered ashore from
the United States gunboats Luzon
and Guam. The Luzon was anchor
ed off the National City bank build
ing on the Hankow waterfront;
the Guam was anchored down the
river off the Standard Oil company
plant.
For more than "a hours, the
rumbling of the japanese guns ha6
been heard while the invaders ad-
vanced nearer and nearer Hankow,
emergency capital of the Chinese
government and great commercial
center of Central China.
Chinese government authorities
decided this morning to abandon
the city and reorganize to the
west and southwest for continued
fight.
Generalissimo Chang Kai-Shek,
his wife, the American educated
Melting Soong, and high officials
left in a squadron of six special
airplanes during the early hours
Of the morning.
The decision to abandon the city,
1t was explained, was made be-
cause a further stand could be of
40 benefit. The Chinese, realizing
that the Japanese meant to take
the city at any cost, contented
themselves with making their ad-
vance as slow and as costly in lives
as possible.
