Two More Down

Hangchow, Sept. 30. Chinese anti-aircraft batteries Chekiang brought down two Japanese aeroplanes yesterday and the day before, a check-up revealed to-day.

The first one made a forced lending at Tutienchen between Tunghsiang end Tsungieh on the Shanghai. Fangchow Railway in the morning of September 28. The airmen aboard have apparently escaped. The same afternoon, two enemy craft hovered above the region as if looking for the lost craft.

Yesterday morning a Japanese am-philan plane fell near Tunghsiang. Two-bombs were found still in their racks, while the machine itself was not badly damaged. A search is being made for the airmen still at large—Central News.
