Shanghai, July 4. While Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek appealed to the army for renewed unity and determination to halt the Japanese invasion, Chinese planes have carried out raids on a scale unprecedented in this war.

The full fury and force of the Chinese aviation section has been unleashed in an effort to halt the swift Japanese advance up the Yangtse River-an advance so swift since the fall of Matang and the breaching of the boom across the river there that the Japanese predict that Huktow will fall within 48 hours. Hukow is midway between Kiukiang and Matang.
