"Earliér reports that Japanese bombs meant for the wharf (Pukow) all dived into the Yangtze is partially incorrect, because while some of them aid drop into the river, others hit the wharf."
This correction is still incorrect. In Parenthesis has it on the best possible authority that bombs don't dive.
We Will Now Carol "Barut in the evening, Chinese batteries.in Chapel opened up on the Japanese lines heralding the offensive."
Listen to the Chinese cannon, Heralding a new attack.
Hear machine-guns gaily singing Their refrain of smack, smack, smack. Now they're starting in Chapei Fighting at the close of day Listen to the cannon's roar As they've never roared before!
This harmonious overture, Prelude to another fight Making Chapei not so happy Through the long autumnal night,—Heralding is what they're doing Unlike angels are they singing Devilish voices of the night Giving us another fright!
The Blind Eye Tue Foreign Office spokesman in Tokyo, commenting on the Hongkong enquiry into the sinking of fishing boats by the Japanese Navy is reported to have said:
"Selt styled Chinese fishermen of the junks attacked have testified that the junks were equipped with one to four old-style cannon.
"We have never heard of a fishing boat with such armaments, The Chinese testimony, therefore, must be taken as a confession that the allegedly attacked junks were pirate lurks which infest the neighbourhood of Bias Bo~.'
That the spokesman has not heard of fishing junks plying out of Hongkong carrying small cannon to defend themselves against the China coast pirates is deeply to be regretted, but the giment he seeks to develop from his lack of iowledge is, just the same, one of those fruity old birds known as a non sequitur.
