OF CHINESE

Important Japanese Bds-
tion Retdptured-Pro
ress from FoochoW

CHUNGKING, May 21-Chinese
troops, in a sudden offensive in
Kwangsi Province, have recaptured
Hochin, important Japanese bastion
on the Kwangsi- Kweichow Rail
road, 95 miles west of the rail
junction city of Liuchow, the Chi
nese High Command announced
today.
On the East China coast, Chi
nese troops hammering eastward
from the captured city of Foo
chow, possible American invasion
port, have occupied Mamoi, eight
miles distant, and other Chinese
reached the vicinity of Lienkong,
90 miles northeast of Foochow, the
high command said. The coastal
successes were scored in yester-
days fighting.
Hochih was one of the Japa-
nese strong points screening the
enemy corridor to Indo- China. Re-
peated Chinese attacks had failed
to dislodge the strongly-entrenched
Japanese there during the winter
campaign.
/ Chinese forces on the east coast
also seized another port in the
Foochow area, and rumors persisted
that enemy troops were evacuating
numerous China coast positions
which they feared would be turned
into death traps in the event of an
American invasion.
Diongloh, small port on the
Min River IS miles southeast of
Foochow, fell to Chinese troops on
Saturday.
Headquarters of 1t. Gen. Albert
C. Wedemeyer, U. S. Commander
in the China theatre, disclosed that
an American air base had been
established at Kweiyang, capital
of Kweichow Province and situated
200 miles south of Chungking on
the Chungking- Running military
highway.

LONDON, May 2l-The British
press clamored today for an early
meeting of the Big Three to
settle a multiplicity of vexing prob
lens in shattered Europe as ten
sion mounted in the dispute over
the Adriatic port of Trieste.
THE time has come when Allied
leaders must rally their peoples to
a united front for peace as they
did in war; declared the Daily
Sketch, adding that some Of the
issues are beginning to assume
the nature of international crises"
and there are still dark clouds
ahead"
The Trieste dispute, the Polish
problem, punishment of Nazi war
criminals and plans for Allied gov
eminent of Germany, said the
Daily Telegraph, should be ar
ranged on generally uniform prin-
ciples between the Allies at once.
Any differences which exist are far
more superficial than fundamental,
but differences which are allowed
to drift on too often end by be-
becoming disastrous.

any evacuation, according to the

WASHINGTON, May 81 = The
Seventh War Loan Drive is in its
second week and sales of war bonds
to individuals has reached one bill
lion 6l3 million dollars.
Ted r. Gamble, War Finance
Director, pointed out that the re-
lease of men from the Army won't
cause any reduction of payments
to soldiers in 1915. Mastering -out
pay for the 100000 men to be
discharged will eat up $390,000, 900
of the funds to be raised this year
by the Seventh War Loan. The
War Finance Director says that
the four billion dollar goal. on e.
Bonds is only about enough to pay
for a years expenses of the per-
sonnet of the armed services.
Secretary of War Stimson, mean
while, has asked all military per-
sonnet to increase bond purchases
to protect their own future as well
as to establish an Army record that
will serve as a challenge to all
public and private agencies.
From the Commander of the
U. S. Navy forces in Europe, Adj
miral Harold r. Stark, comes an
other war bond statement. He de-
clares: For the sake of our fami.
lies, for the high sake of oul
