London, To-day.
An Air-Ministry news bulletin describes how two German bom- bers were shot down into the sea yesterday by R.A.F. fighters.
Three Spitfire pilots returning from patrolling the north-east coast sighted a Heinkel III bom- ber flying at a height of more than two miles. The Spitfires dived and attacked but the Nazi bomber escaped in the clouds.
Anti-aircraft gunfire shortly afterwards revealed the bomber's position and the Spitfires attacked in turn. The first pilot saw ma- chinegun bullets enter the bom- ber's fuselage and the port engine catch fire. The second pilot saw bullets hit and noticed no return fre from the bomber. The third Spitfire fred his eight machine- guns and saw pieces of the bom- ber's fuselage drop off and the second engine catch fire. The Heinkel dived into the sea en- veloped in thick smoke.
The second enemy bomber shot down "blew up" after a running fight begun at a height of more than five miles and ended at sea level. After being attacked in turn by formations of Hurricanes and Spitfires, the bomber crashed Into the sea-Reuter.

Japanese warships in Bias Bay departed this morning.
The border was reported to be quiet. Refugees in fair numbers continued to recross into Japanese "occupied" territory.
It was officially stated that just over 1,000 British women regis- tered for evacuation during the morning session. The majority of them were women with children.
During this afternoon, very few appeared to be arriving for registration, and at 3 p.m. there no-one but officials at the Hong Kong Hotel depot.

Washington, To-day. Anxiety is a mild term to describe the attitude of informed quarters here towards the meaning of the Far East- ern situation. It is easy to find care- ful observers who believe there is a United much greater chance in the States being drawn into a conflict in the Orient than in Europe, though there is little sentiment favouring war anywhere. Many officials of the civil and fighting services, however, see in the Japanese ambition to secure hege- mony in the Orient the beginning rather than the end, and foresee that success in Japan's plans would put the Americas in jeopardy of a totalitarian attack of a commercial or military na- ture, or both, from the west, as well from the east if as such an attack Germany's successes continue. An- xiety of outlook has also continued with the presence of the Fleet in the the Pacific and anxiety also covers fact that much of the raw material necessary for America's defence, well as commerce, comes from Orient. While official sources non-committal, there is reason to be- lieve American diplomacy is not idle, for America has some strong weapons in her hands, such as instant cutting off of at least 60 per cent chiefly me- tals and transportation material-of the amount of war materials Japan has been using in China in the last three years. Mr. T. V. Soong, who is now in Washington, is expected to see some President Roosevelt as well as members of the Cabinet. He is re- ported to be seeking for China a Ioan or credits, to which no strings are at- tached but it is most difficult to sec how this can be achieved.-Reuter.
