Whether she will outwit the Japanese this time is debatable. At 14, Miss Yang fought for a | year with’Chinese gueriilas in Man- churia. Later, as a spy, her infor- mation saved thousands of Chinese soldiers. Time and time again she slipped through the liues into Japa- nese territory and returned with news of troop movements, But the price Miss Yang has had to pay has been a fearful one. Her parents, her six sisters and two brothers have vanished since Japan invaded China, TAXES DUE!
