Hsuchowfu Ku, Oct. 27.
For about two months now alr: raids have been a frequent occurence here and it fs possible to take account in a somewhat detached way fof the results.
The bombing apparently has been confined in intention to the two railways. A number of locomotives have been hit by fragments of bombs and machine gun bullets, but the damage is insignificant. ' Occasionally a bomb falls on a track for on a siding which is easily repaired, No bridges have been domy aged and trains are still running of course, This city has adjusted itself to these abnormal conditions as other oilies have.
The country is in fine shape. Autumn crops are excellent and winter wheat has been planted unusually early and in increased Jacreage. Five missionaries are here, including two- women. The two American mission hospitals are carrying on and have spread large American flags over their buildings.
