Chinese Casualties Reach 4,000 Mark in Five-Day Fight
NUMBER 155
Lack of Proper Facilities in Field Hospitals Results in Death of Wounded
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26, 1933
Peiping, April 28—(UP)—The Chinese lost seven battalions, totaling 4,000 killed and wounded in the past five days of heavy fighting for the paths in the great wall at Kupkeiun, General Ho Ying-Ching, Chinese minister of war, said in an official communique today.
Chinese resistance to Japan's invasion of China proper has cost 19,000 casualties to date, General Ho said. Sixty-six per cent of those who were wounded died because of the lack of field hospitals, and the remoteness of the fighting.
Even as General Ho was issuing his communique, dispatch bears brought word of sanguinary fight between Nanteinteen and Kupikeikou, where General Wang I-Chieh, commander of the second division, was engaging Japanese detachments commanded by Generals Kawahara and Mishi.

Hard to Place Engineers
Placement figures of university and college graduates, compiled by one of the larger corporations, are presented in an article by Dean G. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering in this month's "Kansas Engineer."
Dean Shaad said that it is disappointing to see the placement of graduate engineers drop from practically 100 per cent in 1930 to about 50 per cent in 1931, 35 per cent in 1932 and lower in 1933. He adds that he believes within a reasonable period of time the placement of graduates of the better engineering schools will again reach 100 per cent placement in good positions.
The placement of college graduates in 33 schools:

Mayerburg Denounces Hitlerism in Germany
Open Forum Speaker Says World Soon May Face Another War
"The world will be plunged into a war more terrible than the great war if Hitler is not stopped," Rabbi Mayerburg of Kansas City, Mo., and instructors at the Jewish department died at a luncheon forum yesterday in the Memorial Union building.
He described the events leading up to the present state of affairs in Germany, saying the German people have suffered cruelly in consequence of the late war and were now victims of a dictator who promised them a change
"The wholesale discriminations, imprisonment, terrorization and mutilation of those whom the Nazis have goaded to hate, is a war against humanity that must be treated as such. Rabbi Mimi Zamir of Jerusalem 900,000 citizens of the world consisting of the bravest, most cultured and most decent leaders of Germany."
He called Hitler "a repeticious charatan without ability of any sort who persecuted his subjects merely because he belong to a race, have certain convictions, or follow a calling displeasing to him."
"The worst harm done the Jews is not the physical violence," the Rabbi continued, "but the more cruel fate through their loss of their rights to follow certain trades and professions and the breaking up of their homes." He refuted the statements of Nazi leaders that charges of persecution in Germany "just because they" by saying hard information from such reliable sources as Professor Albert Einstein was proof against the brown shirt arrocities.
"People throughout the world should show their condemnation of such mal-treatment of human beings by continuing to protest and extending aid wherever possible to the helpless victims," Rabbi Mayerburg continued.
