OUTBREAK

Shanghai, To-day.

Bombs were dropped from a raiding aeroplane last night in the British defence sector in the vici- nity of the North Station.

The Telephone Exchange was hit by an incen- diary bomb, which started a fire. A party of Royal Welch Fusiliers, who had only taken over the sec- tor yesterday, helped to fight the blaze.

The Fusiliers had replaced the Russian Volun- teers, who had been withdrawn for patrol work within the Settlement owing to the dangerousness of the sector.

FRENCH CONCESSION PANIC

Considerable anger has been caused by the ac- tion of one of the two Japanese aeroplanes which carried out a night raid last night in going into a power dive and zooming just above the roof-tops of the French Concession.

People dashed helter-skelter for shelter and

something in the nature of a panic broke out.

The plane had previously flown over Nantao

NOT FIRED ON BY WARSHIPS:

Meanwhile, confusion regarding the identity of the other plane which set the telephone huiding afire after dropping bombs on Chaper and Kiang wan, has been caused by a Japanese demal that the plane was Japanese.

Those watching the affair on roof tops in the Settlement, however, insist it must have been a Japanese machine, for although it circled low-over the Japanese warships in the Whangpoo, it attract ed no fire from anti-aircraft guns.

Neither side would care to own the plane be- cause the scene of the bombing was within the Bri- tish defence sector. Reuter.
