ANTI-AIRCRAFT FIRE GOOD The raiders visited the city in two groups, one of eight and an other of five machines. The group of eight was the first to appear and it was these which bombed the Honam district. These ma chines eventually disappeared in a westerly direction. The Becond group circled around Tungsban und the centre of the city round about the Wing Hon Maloo for a considerable period, and then pro ceeded. towards the Canton- Hankow Rallway where they emptied their bomb racks. Its said that the anti-aircraft fire, considering the great height at which the raiders were flying, was the Macst accurate up-to-date. During the bombing of the Can- ton-Hankow Rallway two cf the raiders were said to have been hit Although

brought not actually down. Whether they came down after they left the city is still not known.

CANTONESE DETERMINED The war, of course, continues to torm the chief tonic of conversa- tion in Canton From what little I have been able to gather there is little doubt as to the determina- tion of the Cantonese to see the thing through to the bitter end. To say that they are any- thing but

the disappointed at treatment accorded China by the Powers would be inaccurate. There is a feeling that after all, China will eventually have to rely upon her own resources without outside interference, in which event the war would drag on probably "for some time yet.

Despite the reverses in Shanghai, however, the spirit at any rate in the south remains unbroken. There are stories of an armed invasion of the south with the object of cap- turing this great métropolis of the south and no stone is being left unturned to have the states of Kwangsi and Kwangtung in * state of complete preparedncas if and when the day comes.

EIGHT DAYS

(Continued from Page 1) ་་་

It must be pointed out, however, that it has not been found possible to maintain equally advantageous connections to Malaya and Aus- tralia. The total transit time Bris- bane-Hong Kong and vice versa will be increased to 9 days whilst to Singapore it will be 5 days. This increase in the present transit time of 5 days to Brisbane and 2 days to Singapore is due entirely to un- favourable connections at Bangkok but it may be pointed out that certain alterations are in view, namely,

The DAW route, Hong Kong- Bangkok, is appromlately 300 miles shorter than the present route Hong Kong-Penang. It is hoped eventually to ny from Hong Kong to Bangkok and vice versa in one day and the present very elastic schedule is being instituted in order that experience may be gained of the route with that end in view.

The land-planes in use between England and Australia are gradual- ly being replaced by the Empire Flying Boats prior to the applica- tion of the "All Mail by Air" Scheme to the Australian route.

These flying boats are already in regular operation between London and Karachi, a preliminary flying boat survey of the section Karachi-
