Tokyo, To-day.

Middle the last big raids when the Japan-

ese lost so many planes. We saw some thrilling sights too. Planes roaring round each other, pilot after pilot balling and floating gracefully down by parachute. The Japs evidently learned their lesson and are keep-. ing away now. They never did much damage when they did come over anyway, certainly not enough to compensate for the planes and the men they lost."

The bluejacket went on to say that a few days ago, when he was being treated in hospital in Han- kow, he met a Russian pilot, who had met with a slight injury in combat. According to this pilot, the Japanese, once they realised that an enemy plane had got on their tails, were just dummies. They didn't know what to do and were invariably shot down.

UNEVENTFUL TRIP

Asked about the trip down, the bluejacket said that it had been entirely uneventful. No planes hal been seen. "We are held up on numerous occasion, however, by up trains packed with troops. They are being sent up to Hankow in thousands. They look very young and inexperienced.”
