ENJOYS Wife Speaks Wildly
Of China$ Fight to Survive
By Gretchen Smith.

merchant whose store had been de-
stroyed in Marking was making his
way to a town so miles distant ia
seek help from relative, she said.
Mrs. Peck met the man while walk
ing with her husband, who speak
Ing Chinese huently, entered into
conversation. The Chinese told his
story and as he was leaving, Mrs.
Peck sympathetically handed him
Chinese dollar. The man thanked
her courteously and started back to-
wards Marking.
Il asked him why he was going
there when he told me his destina-
ton was the town go miles away"
Mrs. Peck said. "Oh," he replied,
that was before you gave me the
dollar. Now have enough to start
my business again."
The Minister'S wife, who spent two
years in Chungking and experienced
many bombings in that city, de-
scribed the building Of China's pres
ent capital.
1.-THE city is built on what appears
to be walls of solid rock" she said.
They have made shelters in these
rocks, literally picking into the walls
with their f1ngernails," she con-
tinued. They had no dynamite
and occasionally used little black
powder. But in face of these diff
culties, they have. built their fac
tories and stores in these shelters
and carry on business in spite OF
constant bombings."
Mrs. Peck paid high tribute to
the Chinese women.
They have risen to the emer-
gency with an energy and ability
which appear miraculous" she
asserted.
AS wife of diplomat, Mrs. Peck
carefully avoided statements as to
personal treatment while a prisoner
OF the Japanese. She urged, how
ever, that persons in this Country
should realize that "the fact that
this or that person has been abused
or mistreated is unimportant. It is
what Japan intends to do that we
must consider" she warned.
The Japanese are primarily con-
Vlnced that they will be victorious
and that japanese troops will march
down Pennsylvania avenue and die
tate terms in the White House. We
must do our utmost" she concluded,
to see that they never dictate a
peace to Washington"
Mrs. Peck was introduced by Mrs,
William Culbertson, chairman of
the YWCA World Fellowship Com
mlttee. ABOUT 300 members of the

Red Network Author
Fails 10 Appear Here
For Arrangement
Mrs. Dil|ine to Petition
For Supreme Court
Review, MoIoney Says

Mrs. Elizabeth billing of Chicago
author of The Red Network" failed
to make her scheduled appearance
in District Court at 10 o'clock this
morning, and her arraignment on
charge of conspiring to undermine
the morale of the armed forces was
put off for an indefinite period.
Justice James M. Proctor con-
tinued the matter after William
Power Maloney, special assistant to
the Attorney General, told him that
he understood Mrs billing had
petltioned the Supreme Court for a
review of recent Chicago re-
n1oval proceeding The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in
Chicago yesterday dismissed an
appeal from an order that she be
removed to Washington to stand
Trial with the 27 other defendants
IN the case.
After she had failed to answer the
call of Clerk Jim Menendez, Mr..
Maloney stated he had been notified
ay the United States attorney in
Chicago that she had been ordered
70 appear here. Subsequently, Mr..
Maloney said, he learned she had
appealed to the Supreme Court.
Mrs. billing is seeking to be tried
l., Chicago. AS she has put it, among
friends" and not in Washington,
where she has only enemies"
Charles B. Hudson, Omaha editor
rf American in Danger, another de-
PENDANT in the alleged plot, was be-
fore Justice Proctor today in COM
nection with the matter of counsel.

cause of finances he has been I'M
able to secure an attorney. Justice
Proctor told him he must do so by
tuesday in o-Ger that any prelimi-
nary motions that may be filed in
his behalf can be argued.
Since he presided over todays pro-
eeeding, it is believed that Justice
Proctor will be the trial jurist. No
date has been set for the trial.
The % persons were indicted here

special District grand jury that ex-
tended over several months: They
are accused of plotting weaken
ing of the Nations armed forces

A vivid story of Chinas grim
struggle against Japanese aggression
interspersed with human anecdotes
Of the unbreakable spirit of the
Chlnese was given in an address by
MRS. WHY'S Peck, wife Of the United
states Minister to Thailand, yes
terday at the opening fellowship
luncheon OF the Worlds YWCA.
Mrs. Peck, who was among those
returning on the exchange ship
Gripsholm last summer after in
ternment by the Japanese in the
Bangkok Legation for seven months.
PAID high tribute to the Chinese
and their leaders, basing her state
ments on personal experiences as a
resident OF the Orient since 1910.
She was among those who first
went to Marking in 1880 when it
became China's capital. Later she
personally witnessed the evacuation
of that city.
The evacuation of a great city
like Marking is appalling" she de-
clared. Nothing can be done to
adequately picture the horror and
Inc misery of thousands of people
losing their homes"
A lighter side of the picture. re-
vealing the Chinese ability to over
come great obstacles, was presented
by the speaker in an amusing story.
The president of the university
at Marking had imported several
flne cows for experimental pur-
poses in the Department of Agri-
culture" she said. Realizing the
Japanese would take the city and
not wishing the cows to fall into
their hands, he sent for the care
taker and instructed him to drive
the COWS into the country, distribut-
ing them among the farmers. Seven
months later, when the Marking
University president had established
an educational center in Hankow,
600 miles distant, the caretaker ar
rived at his Office. What do YOU
want done with the coWs?' the man
asked. Then to the presidents sur
prise" continued Mrs. Peck, "he
said: OF course, there have been a
lew deaths. but there have been
some births, too, and the herd is
larger now than it was when you
left 1t in Marking"
The caretaker had in some mi
raculous way brought the herd of
cattle over the 500 miles and de-
avered them to the university presi-
dent In Hankow, Mrs. Peck ex-
planned
The speaker also told of the thrift
which enables the Chinese little
man" to rebuild on what would
barely constitute the price of a poor
meal to an American. A Chinese

Thirdly, the Russians under

Stain asserts that he is not
afraid of the German masses
and does not desire TO destroy
Germany as state or as a
people.
He therefore brings the great
est menace to Germany. while
at the same time he offers the
greatest hope.
And in political warfare,
therefore, no less than in mill
tary, the Russians alone have
conducted a grand strategy. or
indeed, they are the only people
who have conducted any STRAIT

Britain has decided to win the
war together with Russia.
Have we?

Stain has very fine ears.
He hears what is happening

THIS war cannot be won by

Stain has no intention OF

as a backhand thrust or as a
