Canton, June 7.

An air raid alarm awakened this city to new apprehensiveness at 6.55 a.m. to-day. A few minutes later Japanese planes appeared.

They loosed six bombs on the Tungshan district, which is largely residential, and three or four more in the vicinity of Saichuen.

Casualties are feared to have been heavy in both places, owing to the fact that people had not left their homes for the available places of safety. Reuter.

Only Four Bombs

Canton, June 7, Canton awoke at dawn this morning to the sound of shriek ing air raid alarms, and at 6.10 a.m., four Japanese planes ap- peared over the city.

Low cumulus clouds prevent- ed them from carrying out ex-! tensive bombings, and although they roared over Canton for 50 minutes, only four bombs were dropped.

Two of the bombs did con- siderable damage in the residen- tial quarter of Tungshan, the re- maining two falling in Saichuen, The "All-Clear" signal was given at 7 a.m.--United Press.

This appears to be the consensus of military opinion. The mass evacuation of refugees from the city points to the fact that the Chinese military authorities envisage a long investment by the Japanese, during which time all food supplies will be required for the garrison and essential service workers.
