Canton, July 12. An air raid alarm warned Canton at 10 a.m. to-day that enemy raiders were over the city.

Twenty-five Japanese planes were sighted shortly afterwards and some of them power- dived on the Government buildings in the centre of the city, bombing them heavily.

Casualties are certain to be heavy since the populace has actually been ignoring the air raid alarms for the past several days, when they have so often proved unnecessary.

The overcast sky is making it extremely difficult for the anti-aircraft batteries to engage the raiders.--United Press.

Canton, July 12. Quiet was broken UNI to-day when an air raid alarm sounded at Da.m., followed by a second alarm at 10.10 a.m.

No planes appeared and it was at first thought that the ruiders hund gone up the Canton-Honisow way.
