Canton, Sept. 23.
Allowing the populace no respite, Japanese planes subjected Canton to another two raids this morning. The first occurred at four o'clock, when a lone Japanese machine dropped five bombs. While en route to and returning from its objective,—the plane flew low over Shameen, particularly when over the British bridge.
The second raid began at 830 o'clock. At least ten heavy bombers and a number of smaller fighters participated in the attack. The sky in all directions was brimful of aerial activity.
Fights, bombings ana the|s bursting of anti-aircraft shells presented an amazing spectacle against the clear blue morning sky.
The raiders flew in perfect formation of threes and methodically loosed borpbs at their objectives, which have mot yet been ascertained although believed to be the aerodromes and Government buildings.
Tremendous crowds of Chinese sought safety during the raid on the Shakee Bund. which is on the fringe of Shameen, where they silently watched the Japanese planes proceed with their work of destruction.—Reuter.
