ROSY ERA IS PROMISED LOG OF JAPAN FOLLOWING 10-YEAR HARDSHIP

It is becoming something of a fashion for Jap- anese officialdom to conjure up enticing visions of a Promised Land toward which Nippon is striving with the aid of Germany and Italy, arrival there to take place shortly after the hoped-for termination of the China hostilities.

A BOMBER QUEEN'S & ALHAMBRA

Inspection of a er's log book gives an in- teresting account of an operation carried out over German territorial wat-

ers.

At 13.30 hours, the following. note, dramatic in its simplicity, was made: "Attacked by fighters -twins and singles. One single and one double shot down. Twin fighter falling from 10,000 fect ex- ploded on hitting water.” At 13.40 hours:-"single fighter glided down to water from same height -appeared to alight O.K."

The battle continued for another five minutes before any further observations were made. At 13.45 hours there appeared the cryptic remark-second single fighter dropped in flames." One minute later the writer of the log was calmly noting that his formation had now dropped to a height of 10,000 feet, that visibility was good and that "rear-gunner re- ports one more Me.110 shot down." Four minutes later

the

record reads: "Another Me.110 seen fall- Ing out of control.”"

The log ends at 13.51 hours with "Battle over. Rations consumed. All quiet."
