national leadership.
He has always been No. 2 man,
first to DR.. Sun Yat-sen. founder
of the Chinese republic, and after
ward to Chang Kai-shek.
Now. he takes orders from the
japanese Army
Like Chang Kai-shek and many
other Chinese leaders, Wang Ching
wei was educated in Japan. While
in Toxic in 1905. he met DR.. Sun
Yat-sen, and quickly became a mill
tant fighter in the ranks of repub-
llcans sworn to overthrow the
Manchu emperors.
With the assistance of his sweet
heart. Wang attempted in 1910 to
assassinate the prince regent, father
OF Emperor Husan Tung by blow
ing up a bridge in Peiping.
Sentenced to Life.
The attempt failed and he was
arrested and sentenced to life i'm
prlsonment. When the revolution
broke out in 1911, he was released
from prison and Immediately cele-
brated his new freedom by marry
ing two women on the same day.
His brides were Miss Chen Pi-
chen. co-conspirator in the assassi-
nation attempt, and the daughter
of his prison warden.
He became secretary to DR.. Sun
in the new Republican Government
and when the latter was on his
death bed in 1925 was commissioned
to write the will of the great Repub-
hcan leader, the most important
modern Chinese political document.
Elected chairman of the national
government on its establishment in
1925, he quickly found himself in
disagreement with Chang Kai-shek,
who was then establishing his mill
tary dominance. Wang retired to
voluntary exile in France several
times, but always returned to rejoin
the government.
Eloquent and Ready Pen.
Wang's chief weapons in his effort
to win supporters for his new cause
are his eloquence and ready pen.
He is accounted handsome by Chi
nese standards and wears his thick
hair in a glistening black pompa-
dour. He wears Western garb in
preference to the long Chinese
gown.
Wang explains his working for
the japanese this way:

No. l naval power remains to be

ROME, Oct. 28.-Italy celebrated
her outstanding rational holiday to-
day-the 18th anniversary of the
Fascist march on Rome-asking in
the words of Premier Mussolini only
the privilege Of making progress.
Fascist leaders emphasized that
italy was working quietly while
three major European powers were

To-day, as during the harsh,
bloody eve of revolution, Fascism

Italy was following an independent
foreign policy without permitting
any diplomacy TO impose any de-

any foreign ideology suggest any
intervention.

resistance and would seem likel,
only to result in tremendous cas-
ualties, with no gain.
Difficult Operation.
CD An attack on the southern
portion of the French frontier,
across the Rhine. The forcing of a
strongly defended river line Is al
ways dangerous and difficult op-
Grafton, and especially in this case.
Moreover, the reported swollen state
of the river does not offer favorable
prospects.
90 A flank attack through Bel
gium. The Belgian defenses are not
as formidable as those of the Magi-
not Line. However, their fortifica-
tions along the River Meuse and
special defense measures takerf in
the forest of the Ardennes would
probably delay q German advance
long enough to permit Belgian re-
Inducements. The Germans might
gain little additional maneuver space
while adding appreciably to the sum
total of their enemies.
% A flank attack through South
ern Holland and Belgium. This Of
fers more possibility of quickly gain
ing additional maneuver space, as
the Dutch defenses in this area can
not be regarded as formidable. 1t
would then encounter the fortified
Belgian line of the Albert Canal,
which with its prepared inundat-
ions might again produce sufficient
delay to enable British and French
reinfOrcements to arrive-or it
might not.
t5J A flank attack through Switz-
erland. The terrain is mountainous
and difficult and the Swiss defense
certain to be stubborn. On the other
hand. the Germans have WELL
trained mountain troops, and the
Swiss Army, being organized on the
militia basis. might be seriously i'm
peded in its mobilization by the
German air force, as was the case
with Poland. The most serious OBJ
lection to this course is the fact
that unless Italian support could be
obtained the Germany Army pene-
trating into France by this route
would be likely to find itself in a
difficult and somewhat isolated po-
sition. 1t is perhaps more likely

by Wang was made by Premier

is the storm of indignation which it
would certainly arouse among neu-
trail peoples.
CD No land attack at all on the
western front, but a great air, sub
marine and surface attack against
British shipping. seaports and the
British fleet. So far, attacks of
this sort have been made with small
forces and appear to be of an ex-
perimental nature. Presuming that
the results Of these experiments have
proven satisfactory to the German
high command. this plan appears to
offer great advantages at a risk
considerably less than that of any
iArge-scale attack against the for
midable French Army and fortifica-
tions. 1t would, moreover, fit ad-
mirably with the present German
diplomatic policy Of attempting to
single out Great Britain as the sole
enemy while seeking appeasement
with France If successful, even in
part, 1t might seriously weaken
Great Britain or even incline the
British government and the British
people toward peace which would
leave Germany in possession of the
spoils she has gained in Eastern
Europe and with a free hand to deal
with the increasing Russian menace
to her position in the Baltic and
the Balkans.
90 There IS, Of course, always q
chance that Germany may make no
attack at all, but merely play a
waiting game, counting on winning
the resulting war of nerves." But
this seems difficult, considering the
dynamics Of revolutionary regimes
and the economic factor, in which
time is for the moment on the side
OF the allied blockade. Whether such
a course could be possible for Ger
many rests upon the unknown fac
tor OF the availability of sufficient
Russian supplies to offset the block
ade.
Advantage In Uncertainty.
In conclusion, it should not be
forgotten, that, while the suspense
continues, there is considerable
value for the Germans in maintain
ing a degree of uncertainty as to
their intentions; not only in the
hope OF achieving surprise when
and II they do strike, but also be-
cause they thus compel the allies
to stand ready for anything. Thus
for example, the fear of intensified
air attacks against Great Britain
(perhaps even the dreaded bombing
OF London, little likely as this ap-
pears compels the British to hold
at home large numbers of fighter
squadrons and i-aircraft troops
which might otherwise be usefully
employed on the western front.
These are the German "capabili-
ties They may adopt any one of
them; they may adopt a combina-
ton Of two or more of these courses.
They appear so to have disposed
their forces as to be able to make
a sudden choice-and they hold. at
