Under the banner of the  rising sun, Japanese troops are shown passing from the Chinese City of  Peiping into the Tartar City through Chen-men, the main gate leading  onward to the palaces in the Forbidden City. Just a stone's throw away  is the American Embassy, where American residents of Peiping flocked  when Sino-Japanese hostilities were at their worst. </blockquote>
