ee JAPS ATTEMPTING TO SEIZE EASTERN ~~ PART OF BIG WALL ‘Chinese Resisting Much More Strongly Than During In- vasion of Jehol ‘Tokyo, March 6.—(?)}—Three Ja- Panese armies were turned upon Chinese forces Monday in a cam- Paign to seize the whole eastern sec- tion of the Great Wall of China. The Breat pile, which has been garrison- fd by Chinese for more than 2,000 years, is to be transformed into a fortification for the Japanese-spon- sored state of Manchukuo. ‘The Chinese were reported making & desperate fight to hold the wall, resisting much more strongly than they did in feeble attempts to halt she victorious sweep of the Japanese over Jehol province. Fanchiakow, one of the three im- Portant passes in the wall south of Jehol City, was occupied by the 14th infantry brigade under Maj. Gen. Heijiro Hattori after bitter fighting. ‘The Hattori brigade took Lengkow, another pass, previously after push- tng southward from Lingyuan, cen- tral Jehol City. Farther westward the 16th infan- wry under Maj. Gen. Tadashi Kawa- hara, which seized Jehol City Satur- day, was fighting its way to Koupei- kow, the pass leading to Peiping. On the east side the 33rd infantry under Maj. Gen. Kaoru Nakamura met stiff resistance in its march on Chiehling- kow. Meanwhile fighting preceded the capture of Weichang, center of the Jehol opium region, by the 4th cava- iry brigade under Maj. Gen. Kenno- suke Mogi. The Mogi mounted troops Jed the Japanese 200-mile advance from the north into Jehol while other offensives worked westward toward the capital, Jehol City. TWO CHINESE DIVISIONS SENT TO BATTLE SECTOR Peiping, March 6.—(?)—Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang, North China military ruler, has dispatched two more regular army divisions to the north to aid in defense against the seizure of the Great Wall of China by Japanese troops. ‘Thousands of rickshaws were com- [ mandeered to transport supplies over the old imperial highway between here and Koupeikow, the great wall pass leading to Jehol City. Inquiries were made here regard- ing Miss Harriet F. Minns, an Amer- ican woman missionary who refused to leave Lingyuan, central Jehol City ‘which was captured last week by the Japanese. No reports have been re- ceived concerning her since then. Instructions were sent to Marshal Chang instructing him to defend the Great Wall of China against the Ja. panese attack. Headquarters here announced two of Marshal Chang’s brigades were virtually wiped out west of Jehol last week with the foss of 12,000 in killed, wounded and missing. They were re- to have made the only real stand against the Japanese adance. Calendar By the Associated Press SENATE Bills Passed House Bill No. 14—Appropriates $118,904 for school for deaf.

Human, life, in spite of the shortage of cash, was finding ways of carrying on—as it has a way of doing always. Even before President Roosevelt, clothing himself with the powers of a war-time law, took quick steps pre- Paring the way for scrip, the idea of scrip was racing through the country and communities in many scattered sections were arranging to have it printed. Tales of millionaires beseeching butlers for a spare dime, of folk with $100 bills being snubbed by change- guarding clerks, went the rounds. Ladies who used to talk about their operations now had a new topic—of how that nasty grocer man would not give them change for $20 when they bought a ten-cent can of beans. From the top to the bottom of the secial scale, people facing inconven- tence grinned and bore it. Former President Hoover, just a few hours out of the white house, found himself with only a small amount of cash— but was getting along. Pinchot Nearly Broke Gov.

The laborer, Amos Rice, died here last week of pneumonia. Since Rice is a native of Chi- cago, a local mortician has been making arrangements to send the body to the Illinois metropolis for funeral and burial services. But the holiday “put a crimp” in the arrangements, since the body can’t be sent when no money is available. So the mortician is marking time, waiting for the holiday to lift Aeronautical Expert To Be Here March 13 ‘An aeronautical inspector from the U. S.
