Canton. Aug. 9, 8.10 a.m. Five minutes after the first alarm shrieked its warning to the terrified populace of Canton at 7.50 a.m. to-day, eight Japanese raiders appeared over the city.
They are still circling above, apparently seeking. their objectives.
It has now been confirmed, from two independent sources, that the leaflets dropped from the Japanese planes on Sunday warned the populace of Canton that the city would be bombed for ten consecutive days.
To-day is the second day, and Canton is apprehen- sively awaiting the outcome of this morning's visitation.
