Peking, Feb. 9.

A thrilling story of the pro- (gress of an army of five thousand anti-Manchukuo Volunteers, by forced marches, from Manchuli, through Mongolia, to Jebol was related last night.

The story was told in an inter- view by General Chang Pao-lin, the commander of the Fourth Re giment of Volunteers.

The stirring account dealt with the fighting with the Japanese Įduring the drive against Manchull and told how five thousand of his

Squadron-Leader Gayford and Flight-Lieutenant Nicholetts ran into extremely bad weather over Nigeria and were obliged to make a wide detour. The world's nonstop long-distance record was, however, broken when the airmen passed over Zesfontein, which is appro- ximately 5,064 miles in a direct line from Cranwell, this distance being covered in about 51 hours.

LANCASHIRE PROTECTION

They passed Walfish Bay some 280 miles nearer, Capetown in the early afternoon but discovering that JAPAN'S COMPETITION their petrol supplies were running low, decided to re- turn. They were sighted overhead at 4.30 p.m. and landed perfectly ten minutes later.

The distance covered by the great machine was pro- bably about 6,000 miles, including deviations, but the direct line of flight, which counts for the record is about 5,340 miles.
