Chinese War Ebb Stumps All Except Reds
Nanking February 9. The Chinese war may stay quiet for months with only the Communists north of the Yangtze to answer.

Two troop transports with 1600 U.S. Marines left Tsingtao, bound for San Diego, as 600 Marines remain aboard in Shanghai. How Li can endure without formal peace talks grows uncertain.
