Shanghai, To-day,

Hundreds are believed to have been blown to pieces when one of the largest mass air raids of the Sino-Japanese hostilities was carried out on Siao- shan, opposite Hangchow, yesterday.

The raiding planes were heavy bombers of the Japanese naval air force, which rained hundreds of incendiary and high explosive bombs on the town for several hours..

Siaoshan is now blazing furiously, columns of smoke rising from the shattered houses being visi- ble for miles round. Our Own Correspondent.
