BOOK HELPED LAUNCH CHINESE CRISIS

This book drew the attention of Sun Eat-sen, China's Abraham Lincoln, who was 50 impressed by It's arguments that he ordered 10 addi- tional copies from New York. Sun Yat-sen incorporated the gist of this book, practically word for word, as the third Principle of his famous Three Principles, the Bill of Rights of modern China. Tn this third prir. ciple, Sun Yat-sen Tepudiated Soc cialisni in favor of democracy for China.
 Upon Sun Yat-sens death in 1925, the third Principle created . split between the left and right political factions in that country. This controversy led to the ChineSe Clyii War, and China's weakened conditions because of internal strife preclplated Japafi's invasion. Ifi sum, Dr. Williams book is at least par- tially responsible for the crisis in the TGr East today.
 The book is required reading in ali Chinese high schools and col- ieges and has been published in England and Germany. Althoress Pearl Buck recently called pr. Wil- Ham probably the greatest living iii- dtence on presentsday Chine.

pride of the Austrian navy. The vesesl that bore them had in front two warheads, or metal cylinders filled with 400 pounds of TINT. The men detached them, fastening one to the side of the Viribus Units, and set the other adrift ill the harbor entrance. The first sank the Aus trian ship to which 1t was attacked, and the second destroyed the Aus trian battleship Wien. Both men escaped unhurt, to become Italian heroes.
 Development Perfected
 Another instance of the use of @ torpedo boat, this time literally a piloted torpedo, occurred in Novem- Der, 1940, when a strange contrap- tion like combination torpedo launch was found on the beach near Gibraltar. This attempt to utilize a tiny vessel to destroy a gerat ob- jective, was unsuccessful because the explosive charge was detonated harmlessly in the harbor. The craft appeared to be development of the Italian Pola Harbor boat, and its potentiality was great, although 1t failed in it's mission.
 Perhaps the most outstanding in stance of the small Suicide" vessel in the present war so far, is that of the two-man submarines used by the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. These, too. seem to have failed in their pur- pose, and their two-man crews were lost. But 1t is likely that there will be further evidence of the use of various tiny vessels of destruction. and it is easily possible that their development vii lbc further per- fected so that they may become a major factor in modern naval war | fare.
