Army Forced
To Retreat
GENERALS CAPTURED
Intensified Fighting Flares
!. Up On Several Fronts.
!. Report Says

CHUNGKING, Thursday, Nov.
8.-lR-Chinese Communists have
captured two Central government
army commanders-one repeatedly
committed suicide - in Southern
Hopeh Province and forced the
government armies to retreat, a
military spokesman acknowledged
today.
The scene of this reversal in
China's undeclared civil war is
the same one where the Commu.
nists claim they have routed 10000
government troops.
The spokesman said one of the
captured generals was Ma Fa WI
commander of the 41st Army. He
is understood to have committed
suicide. The other was Kao Shu
Hsun, commander of the Eighth
Army.
The spokesman accused the Com
munists of circulating unfounded
rumors about the two generals in
an effort to throw dust in the eyes
of the public
The Communists had claimed a
number of generals and the bulk
of their troops had surrendered.
The spokesman's version was
that the Eighth and 41st Armies
were attacked north of, Tzehsien
in Hopeh by several tens of thous-
ands of Communists, were taken
unawares and were unable to con-
eentrate in time to ward off the
assault,
He said their commanders were
captured the night of Oct. 30 at
different points and their armies
subsequently withdrew southwark
to await orders from Chungking.
A semi-officiai dispatch claimed
government successes in clashes
with Communists in southern

Honan and the Han river towns

and foreign quarters in Chungkine

beyond repair and full-scale was

Here are some of the ear-marks and their iden-

strikingly suggestive OF French painters of that
day. Trumbull had studied in France before the
preSumable date of the portrait Under Lafayettes
nose and lower lip were shadows OF greeniSh gray.
It happens that this is a characteristic coloring

Trumbull had studied with Stuart, under Benta-
