Thirty-five Persond Killed, Wounded Canton, June 3.
Eight Japanese aeroplanes carried out a further raid on the city this afternoon, the air raid alarm shrieking a warning of their approach shortly after 3 p.m, An interesting feature of the latest air raid on Canton was the fact that the Japanese bombers were this time accompanied by pursuit planes.
Evidently it was anticipated that the Japanese raiders would be met by Chinese planes when they arrived at Canton, The planes seemed to be bombing various objectives, but most of the bombs appeared to be exploding in the vicinity of Taihatao Station, the terminus of the Canton-Kowloon Railway, Thousands of refugees were waiting at the station for transportation to Hongkong.
The "All-clear" signal was given at 4.10 p.m, and meanwhile a message from Taishatao Station established that the station was not hit, although Reuter's correspondent saw a number of bombs falling in the vicinity, and wreckage flying into the air, It is understood that the evening train will not be prevented from leaving for Hongkong.
Thirty-five persons were killed and wounded in today's raid, according to a semi-official Chinese statement.
A number of bombs fell along the waterfront between Taishatao station and the Admiralty dockyard, but very little damage was done.
Missiles are also reported to have fallen on Honam Island, in the vicinity of a large Chinese cotton mill—Reuter,
