Frankfort-on-Main, Nov. 10.
That the Chinese troops succeeded in holding out for a quarter of a year against the better equipped and train-fed Japanese army is cited in the "Frankfurter Zeitung" as "a milit achievement worthy of—hig praise."
Although the withdrawal of the Chinese army from Shanghai may represent a blow to the patriotic sentiments of the Chinese people, this fact does not diminish the remarkable feat of the Chinese in resisting for such a long time.
It is expressly pointed out that in individual courage and determination the soldiers far surpassed those who opposed the Japanese five years ago The battles of the past months have not been in vain for China, states the paper. because the Japanese were forced to wage a major campaign and make enormous expenditures to achieve success, The Chinese, through their hero action, have indicated to the world the sacrifice a nation is willing to undergo to defend its independence, states the paper.—Trans-Ocean.
