China Halls Trade Treaty Death as
Boost 10 Morale, Aid 10 Victory

SHANGHAI, Jan. Is. (UP)-Au-.
thoritative neutral inforrnants as
serted today that expiration of the
Japanese-American trade treaty was
the biggest boost to Chinese morale
and unity since the $25.000.O00 ex-
port-import loan by the United
States in 1898.
They said: e4
1.-The expiration was regarded
here as a forerunner tos trade
embargo which the japanese army
admits might force curtailment of
its military operations.
At is calculated to put fur
ther difficulties IN the way of
Wang Ching -Wei's efforts, as head
of so-called Chinese" govern

pied areas, to win over Influential
Chinese leaders.
Expiration of the treaty coincid-

a big victory on the central front,
on the borders of Honan and Hu-
peh provinces, where it was as
serted that the Chinese killed $4,000
of a force of 10000 japanese IN
a week-long battle, sent the rest
on the retreat, and captured 81
tanks and IL field guns.
Neutral sources here expressed
conviction that aside from the stip-
ulation to the Chinese cause, the
treaty abrogation must dampen
japanese hopes that the Wang
government would be able to
negotiate a peace" with Japan, by
means of which it would seek to
undermine the influence of the
Chinese government with the peo-
pie.
Wang had been calculated to be
particularly valuable to Japan be-

Probably the days outstanding
individual feat resulted in a shock
to MILDLY supporters when Joe

win provided the margin by which
Penn won the net match, 5-4, the
visitors winning five of the six sim

doubles.
After allowing Pitts nine 8
runs in the first two innings, Navy
settled behind the effective pitch
ing Of Norman Smith to hang up
1873 victory. Smith took over
the hurting duties with the bases
loaded and only one out in the
second after the Panthers had
scored seven runs.
Nays golf win over Pitt came by

track team finished an undefeated
season by whipping Mercersburg,

Massanutten M. A., 7-3, and the
