Hankow, Feb. 26.

It is definitely felt that Chinese aerial strength is now sufficient not only effectively to defend, but also to attack. Further information of Formosa raids indicated that the Chinese bombers spent almost three hours over the island and destroyed planes and hangars at Matsuyama and a large power station at Shinjiku.
