"The imvy needn't be afraid fo turn its men loose in Hollywood," was the view they took.

CHINESE GUNS ROAR DEFIANCE AT INVADERS (Continued from Page 1) to 10 7, but since then leading general and statesman of China. Most of the daring young fighters of the 19th came Xrom Canton and it3 environs. Generally, they are small, lithe and spirited. According to one reliable source here they took little or no part in the 1127 revolution led by their instructor. General Chiang.

They entered the present story late last year when they to Nankin with a grouo of Cantonese officials and pledged their allegi ance to the central government. When the war clouds gathered at Shanghai they were sent there. While better trained and' equipped than the average Chinese army, tho 19th not so well provisioned as, for instance 88th Division, "Chiang Kai Shek's Own." Its arms came from three sources America, Germany and Japan. Because of this, the soldiers have had some diffi culty getting ammunition to fit their needs. Rice flour cakes arc the principal diet of the young Cantonese warriors when on campaign.

In time of peace they have the usual Chinese diet rice, fish and vegetables. So their courage does not come from their diet. Perhaps it conies from the atmos-1 phere of Canton. That port long has I been the center students ot China say of ardent Chinese Na tiona'iism. And why are the Cantonese fight-1 ers called the "19th Route army?" That question has puzzled" many Americans, two explanations are offered here from which westerners may choose: 1.

The army was orgunizea io protect highway and telegraph "routes'' trom bandits. 2. At a concentration of Chinese forces several years ago this particular contingent was ordered to proceed "by the 19th Route."

IJejnar Smuggling Grows WASH.NOTON, Feb. 24 (UP). Liquor smuggling has not been reduced in the past year and the smugglers have organized on a larger and more efficient basis, according to Rear Admiral F.

Bil-lard, commandant of the coast guard. Testifying before the House Appropriations Committee, Billardsald that in that period smuggling operations had changed from independent liquor running to highly-organised, efficient international syndicates. "The activity of the coast guard," he said, "has practically driven all the independents from the business. Smuggling is now carried on almost exclusively by large, highly organized international combines. The ships of the smuggling syndicates are navigated in violation of the international rules of the road, run without lights, use smoke screens which sometimes contain poisonous gas, and so forth." Development of high-frequency radio transmission, Billard added, has provided smugglers with a means of instantaneous communication from ship to shore.

Whereas previously the smugglers had to make plans in advance, now they communicate with radio in code, he said. About 91 foreign vessels are engaged in smuggling along the AV lantic coast, be said, with 47 in the Gulf of Mexico and 33 on the Pacific coast. Most of them, he said, fly the British flag.
