Canton, Apr. 10.
More than 100 people are feared to have been killed and many more injured when a single Japanese bomb fell im the centre of Canton at 1.15 this afternoon.
Four Japanese machines were flying over the city at a great height at the time the bomb was dropped. They proceeded to drop a number of bombs on the outskirts of the city near military objectives, so it would appear that the bomb which fell on the city was a stray one which was misdirected owing to the great height at which the raiders were flying.
The bomb fell while the centre of the city was very full, the populace celebrating the victories claimed b: the Chinese on the Tsinpu railway front through gaily beflagged streets.
It fell almost directly on a sewing factory, about a mile north of the Shameen, where a number of young girl employees were working. Six buildings were completely demolished and a number of fires started.
