HUNDREDS DEAD IN

CANTON RAIDS

Young Women Perish In Burning Building

Canton, Apr. 10. Canton was horrified this morning, when Japanese planes dropped bombs on Po Wah Street in the congested residential district in Saikwan and inflicted a toll of over one hundred dead mostly workers in a factory. There were no military objectives in this residential area.

Some of the missiles were incendiary bombs, which destroyed the old Po Wah Theatre and the surrounding houses. The theatre is now a weaving factory employing 300 workers. About 20 were extricated from the ruins.

One bomb was dropped on Little North, south of the Yuet Shau Hill. Over 20 houses in this slums district were shattered. Seven Japanese planes took part in raiding Canton proper this morning. Hitherto they bombed only the outskirts.

The Tien Ho and White Cloud ports of Chinese aerodromes and Sai Chuen Indus- north. trial areas were also bombed and strafed. Again the air raiders
