TO-DAY'S 'FUNNY' STORY Chungking Rats And The Publicity Board
'Patriotic In Their Dietary Choice'
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA. MAIL")'
Chungking, To-day. HOW CHUNGKING'S RATS, one of the capital's plagues, turned patriotic and joined the common anti-Japanese front, is recounted in a special bulletin released by the China Information Committee.

and joining in the national struggle, others, more sceptical, told Havas that such mass absorption of Japanese propaganda may have disastrous effects on the rats' morality and may ultimately lead to the establishment of puppet rule in ratdom!

WARNING OF BOMBS IN AIR CRASH
Ipswich, March" 28. When an R.A.F. bomber crashed into the River Orwell at Ipswich to-day, the first thing its pilot officer did was to warn rescuers to keep clear as the 'plane was carrying bombs.

The bombing season ap- pears to have started in earn est, and the alarm was again sounded at 5 o'clock yester-over the town, he had chosen to crash When the 'plane got into difficulties day morning, when Japanese in the river rather than imperil the planes were sighted over the safety of townsfolk by attempting western border of Hupeh pro- ceeding west.
The raiders failed to reach Chung- king, however, but flew over Chien- kang, in south-east Szechuen, without dropping bombs and then returned to their base..
Many Japanese planes the previous night attacked Paishihyi, 13 miles from Chungking, which was the real objective of the raiders.
While the Chinese authorities still observe the utmost discretion regarding the night raids, the military spokesman told Havas that the Japanese airmen falled to Inflict serious damage on the Palo- hihyl airfield.
The Japanese attack was badly timed as flares dropped by a scouting plane were extinguished by the time the bombs were dropped. The Ja- panese, the spokesman claimed, miss- ed their mark by a wide margin. Havas.

The 'plane was almost submerged. The pilot officer sat nonchalantly on the fuselage while rescuers hurried to the spot.
Arthur William Arnold, of Kelly road, Ipswich, who went out in a rowing-boat with William Charles Rash, Pickwick-road, to the aid of the 'plane, said: "When our boạt reached the machine the pilot told us to keep clear as it was loaded with bombs.”
One of the crew was badly injured.
