Th the''Power behind the word", at makes the Western civilizations “ with respect to the pronounceil ‘ n t 9 of Eugene Chen, the Cantonese fO vXr”he military genius of Chang Kal-shek. Cantonese troops in less thaß two years have captured from , hB North China Government nearly 'million square miles of territory ( With a population one-and-a half times neater than the population of the Vaited States. The sweep of his armies Is still continuing unchecked, ami many military authorities bellfve that within another year his troops may have overrun the whole o f China and captured Peking itself. And he is still only 39 years old. Born in 1888 in a little village between Hangchow and Ningo, Chang was not yet a year old when his father died. His mother was very poor and Chang was turned over to relatives to raise. It was planned that Chang should become a merchant. but he showed no aptitude for trade, and was instead sent to a mill tary college and later to the officer’s academy. An amazing gift for military learning was almost immediately apparent, and he was selected to be sent to Japan to complete his military studies under Japanese officers who had been schooled in the methods of war fare of the Western civiliiations. In Japan Chang came under the influence of the late Sun Yat-sen. founder of the Cantonese revolutionary movement and later president of the South China Government. He returned to China an ardent revolutionist. But no opportunity to make real use of his military learning came until years later when he was appointed by Sun to take charge of the Whampoa Military College at Canton. A further opportunity to expand his knowledge of military tactics came when Sun sent him to study the technique of modern war under actual war conditions. He returned to China thoroughly versed in both class-room theories of the art of modern warfare and its practical application on the field of battle. It was on his word of command that the march to Hankow was undertaken, to be followed later by the advance on Shanghai, where with a numerically inferior army he successfully touted the forces of the Shanghai commander General Shuan-fang. o “Two-Timing” Will Be Common In Union City In Near Future There will he a lot of ‘two timing” going on soon in the hitherto upright community of Union City, Indiana and Ohio. When Ohio’s eastern time bill goes into effect the people on the Ohio side of town are going to be an hour ahead ot their Indiana brethren on the other side. Indiana will cling to central time. The ardent Indiana swain will be able to tell the irate Ohio parent he •s ahead of time when the parent tries to send him home at 11 p. m. The •wains "turnip" will register but 10 bells. Just imagine a fellow explaining to his wife that he was late to dinner because he happened to walk home on the other side of the street. Os course, the Brown youngsters will never be satisfied. Right across the street the Jones kids will get to stay up an hour later than they. Traffic cops will dance in the middle of the street with one leg battling '° go home to dinner and the other struggling to stay on the job for an other hour. There will be advantages though. 16 l * re d business man who wishes ® bo at work at 7 a. m. can set his a arm clock at 8 and laugh it ‘off.
