THE SIXTH ALARM

Canton, Sept. 22. The air raid alarm was sounded- at 2.05 p.m. for the sixth time in two days. It would "appear that the Japanese intend to systema- tically visit and bomb Canton in relays, not only endeavouring to destroy military positions but also. to break the morale of the people of South China' but the Cantonese are standing up to the strain re- markably well.-

: HUNDREDS BELIEVED INJURED

Canton. Sept. 22,

Accurate official figures are not obtainable regarding the air raid casualties during the past two days but it is belleved it must amount to hundreds while it is reliably learned that the various hospitals. are very busy attending to the injured. most of whom are civilians.

Foreigners endeavouring to catch the noon train to Hong Kong were involved in a panic at the Railway Station which was crowded with Chinese refugees when the air raid occurred.

The first two or three bombs appeared to fall comparatively close to the Chinese crowds who rushed wildly to the shelter, hun- dreds crawling beneath two trains. ulongside the platform which were jerked up by each explosion. The British and a number of American women and other foreign passen- ers lay prone on the floor and had a few most uncomfortable mo- ments. Gradually the tension eased as the sound of the bombs became fainter. When the "all clear" was scund and calm restored. Injured "Chinese, covered, from head to foot with blood were being assisted' to the Station

At any rate, they are voluntarily converting the armament of the Hawkins class from 7.5in to sin. guns, and although they are now free of the London Naval Treaty (1930) restrictions and might have elected to resume the building of 8in. gun cruisers had they deemed this desirable, they have not shown the least disposition to do ao.
