RAIDERS SPENT THREE
HOURS OVER FORMOSA
(Continued from Page 1)
intenalded the war from the skies. Outstanding developments yesterday were large-scale reprisals for the Chinese air raid on Formosa on February 23. According to Chinese reports, 59 Japanese planes, includ-j ing 36 bombers, yesterday morning ralded Nanchang, capital of Klangsi.
Chinese reports state that Chinese plones engaged the raiders, bringing down eight machines, three of which have already been located, while the remaining five fell same distance from Nanchang.
Thousands of people watched the breath-taking dog-fights and saw with fascinated horror, mingled with Jubilation, three Japanese planes crash to the ground,.
Interesting nidelights of yesterday's air battles come from Hankow, where, it is stated, the fights marked the first active appearance of the British Gloucester "Gladiator" planes. Chinese aviation authorities say the-f British machines performed very satisfactorily, and the Japanese losses doubtless would have been higher if the Chinese pilots had had longer 'training and the machine-guns on the planes did not require adjust
ment.
It is reported that a Chinese plane was sighted Bying high over Shang- hol early yesterday, evening in the direction of Woosung, while two Chinese machines are stated to have been seen going the same way yes. terday morninst.
Renewed raids on Japanese occu pied areas around Shanghai, and possibly a renewed attempt to sink the Japanese nogship, Izumo, which at one time was a much coveted target, are indicated-Reuter,
30 Planes In Raid
On Formosa
Hunkaw, Feb. 26. Altogether 30 Chinese planes, all bombers, participated in the Formo- san Tuld on Wednesday, it was revealed by a Government spokes- mun this morning. All the were 'Chinese while the
pilots
machines
-were of Soviet manufacture. They were the new type, very fast, and capable of long nights.
The first objective was the Mat- suyama military airfield in Talhoku, where at least 40 machines on the ground, a number of hungars asic huge all tanks were destroyed.
Huge columns of smoke were seen to rise from the ground by the pilots, who flew an Shinjiku and bombed the power plant situated outside the elty. The Chinese pilots reported that vast clouds of smoke were still visible three and a half hours after the bombing.
The defenders must have been surprised as no Japanese planes took the air and no anti-aircraft :guns went into action--Reuter.
Town Bombed Out Of
Existence
Tsingyang, Anhwei, Feb. 20. Hengshanchino, a rural town.north- cast of Fanchang, was practically bombed out of existence yesterday by Japanese planes.
The Japanese planes unloaded tons of explosives, which blasted numer ous houses to ruins. Several huge fires raged in the town. The exact. number of casualties and extent of damage cannot be ascertained.--- Central News.

TO-MORROW'S GAME
To-morrow the tourists will play the Colony XI. In view of the fallure of the Chinese last Saturday, it is to be hoped that the Hongkong representative team will do better and thus give a mure favourable impression of local football to the visitors. Lee Tin-sang, the Colony captain, seems to think that the Corinthians defence is not impreg- nable. Of course not. No defence is Impregnable, but from what I have seen of Clark and Co., the Colony forwards will have to do something very drastle in order to get through their defence. And I don't mean
maybe.
