SOUTHERN ATTACKS

Instead of raids by single aircraft or small groups, as heretofore, the Japanese have begun mass attacks with squadrons of between 15 to 20 planes.

Following the spectacular air raid and air combats near the north Kwangtung border on Thursday, yesterday 21 Japanese planes were reported to have ralded Wuchow, on the West River, while early this mor- ning 15 Japanese planes were report- ed to have passed Canton heading northward, though as yet no infor- mation has
