.DARES WRATH
OF HITLER BY
HIS FORECAST
Japanese Failure "Both in
War and Peace" Are
Anticipated
EXPERT OPINION IS
DIVIDED HOWEVER
(By UNITED PRESS)

As japanese forces fought their
way steadily toward the temporary
Chinese capital at Hankow, the
chief military adviser to China.
on his way home, predicted China
will gain the final victory and
Japan twill fail both in war and
in peace"
Gen. Alexander Won Valkenhau-
sen, chief of the German military
mission which has been recalled
by Berlin made the prediction as
Chinese reluctantly saw him leave
Hankow on his way back to Fer
many.
Despite his optimism. loss Of
expert assistance and organizing
abilities of German military gen
Jus was considered severe blow
to the Chinese cause.
In a recent farewell message to
Chinese troops, Gen. Falkenhau-
sen was reported to have express
cd unending loyalty to and SYM
patty with the Chinese army. and
to have said that he regretted his
governments recall left him no al
tentative to return to Germany.
It was reported that even this
statement brought him stern
reprimand from Germany.
Twenty remaining German army
men who had been advising the
Chinese were given q farewell
luncheon at Hankow Saturday by
Generalissimo Chang Kai-shek.
A general survey of the opinion
of foreign experts in Shanghai as
the Chinese-Japanese war nears
the end of its first year, shows
that most of the veteran observ-
ers of Chinese military affairs be
lieve that the adds are three to
one that Japan will achieve a par
tial victory.
Expert opinion, as based on the
situation of today, shows:
China has a 80 per cent chance
to exhaust Japan militarily and
financially if the war goes through
another year like the present one.
the survey showed. Her chances
would be increased to so per cent
if Japan's access to foreign NUM-
tons supplies were seriously i'm
paired. The reports indicated.
however, that China cannot hope
to drive Japanese forces from
Chinese soil unless she receives
major military assistance from
some large foreign power.
The survey showed that China's
greatest strength lies in the "time
and space" elements of the war
and Japan's greatest opportunity
lies in eliminating these factors
and intensifying her operations to
a point where Generalissimo CHI
ang Kai-shek's "all-China anti
Japanese front" will start falling
apart.
The experts unanimously be,
lieved that the united front Will
face a severe test if the japanese
capture Hankow. They said that
internal dissension among the all
China front groups is increasing.

HUKOW FALLS.
AS JAPANESE
STILL ADVANCE
Opens Way for Rapid Con.
clusion of Campaign
for Hankow
CHINESE FIRST LINE
AIR DEFENSE WRECKED

SHANGHAI, July 5. (UP)-
Japanese naval authorities an
nOunccd today that their forces
had captured the strategic city of
Hukow, oppose Kiukiang on the
Yangtse river, opening the way
for a rapid drive against China's
provisional capital at Hankow.
The Yangtse advance, the naval
officials said, was fairly easy"
except at Siangkow, 40 miles west
of Anking where Japanese troops
were forced to land under a bar
rage of heavy Chinese artillery.
Pointing out that the Chinese
troops "seldom use" heavy artil-
lery, the officials said that the
japanese troops were subjected to
a devastating fire for AZ hours
before crashing the Chinese line.
The capture Of Hukow enabled
the Japanese to open the way for
an offensive which will result in
the cutting Of the vital Kiukiang-
Nanchang railway. key to south
eastern defenses Of Hankow, the
Japanese said.
The victory followed zone Of
the greatest aerial battles Of the
war" in which, Japanese naval
communique said, Japanese filters
shot down as of so Chinese planes
and destroyed six more on the
ground.
Chinese planes engag d
amounted to almost the entire
first line aerial defense force of
China" the communique assert
ed, adding that the Chinese planes
downed "included Russian-made
monoplanes and biplanes, Ameri-
can Curtiss Hawks and British
Gloster Gladiators."
One Japanese plane was miss
ing.
The Chinese version Of the air
battle, as given out in Hankow,
said that $50 or more Japanese
planes raided the airdrome and
other centers at Nanchang where
a number of the planes were shot
down, one of them, a bomber,
falling inside our lines"
simultaneously, the statement
said, Chinese planes raided Japan
csc warships in the Yangtse and
japanese land positions on both
sides of that river below Kiuki-
ang.
This will enable japanese gun
boats and transports to enter
Lake Poyang and begin mine
sweeping operations after which
infantry could be landed on the
lakes south shore for an attack
on the big Chinese military base
in Nanchang.
The fall Of Nanchang will rem
der the vital Wu-han area (Han-
kow, Wuchang and Hanyang)
strategically untenable.

TRADECENSUS
DATA SOUGHT
Ask Retailers and Whole
saIers to Cooperate in
QUESTIONABLE

Retailers and wholesalers thru
out the country who have been
called on by the Bureau of the
Census to furnish pertinent facts
concerning their operations dur
ing the year 1887 and the first
two quarters of 1888 are urged
to cooperate fully by filling out,
Immediately, the missionaries
which have been supplied for this
purpose.
The schedule form is simple,
and furnishing the information
will not entail a great deal of
work on the part of the reporting
establishments. 1t is of particular
Importance that retailers and
wholesalers fill out the question
naires Immediately after June SO
and mail them in sufficient time
to reach the Philadelphia office
on or before July Is where ar
rangements have been made to
tabulate and publish the results
Immediately. This survey is Of a
current character and the early
publication of the results is es-
sential in order to be of maximum
value.
Prompt attention to this mat
ter will enable the census to be-
gin publishing, during August,
1888, the first releases showing
such basic facts as sales and pay
rolls by quarters. In addition to
obtaining information on sales
and pay rolls by quarters for
1887 and the first two quarters
of 1888, the inquiry will seek
to obtain facts concerning cash
sales, credit sales and instalment
sales, and stocks on hand for
specific periods.
There should be no hesitancy
about furnishing the data as the
Bureau of the Census will adhere
strictly to its usual policy OF
keeping confidential all informa-
ton furnished by an Individual
establishment. The returns will be
used solely in conjunction with
other similar reports in the prep
aration of statistical tables.

Sacred Heart
Alunnae Dine

The spirit of youth and school
day fun was recaptured last
night when alumnae of the
Sacred Heart gathered in the
Pan-American room of the May
flower Hotel for their first an
nual dinner.
Miss Mary Mcdonald, preSi-
dent of the alumnae association,
was lauded for her efforts in
behalf of the event by Miss Mary
Regis, toaStmistreSS, and teacher
at Trinity College. Praises also
were voiced by Miss Margaret
Donovan, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements.
STRESSES TRADITIONS :
Miss Mcdonald, in addressing
the alumnae, stressed the tradi-
tions which were instilled into
their hearts and minds at
school.
She said: st is incumbent
upon us the obligation of doing
all we can to keep our little band
together, to keep in close touch
with the school that nouriShed
and fostered our education, to
stimulate Catholic thought and
Catholic action, to promote love
and affection for the Catholic
Church, to develop leadership
among the Catholic laity, to be
proud of our faith, and to de-
fend it at all times in face of
opposition"
Speaking of foreign antago-
nism which threatens to destroy
the principles of Catholicism,
Miss Mcdonald said: ''It is high
time then, for us to realize the
Importance of banding together
as a common unit to offset for
eign antagoniSm. In union there
is strength. and no organization
can thrive unless its members be
one in mind, one in heart. We
must realize the necessity Of our
alumnae association and to
manifest a zeal for its success"
Another speaker was Miss
Florence ODonoghue, Of the

of the International Federation
Of Catholic Alumnae. Miss
