400 JAPANESE PLANES RAID CHUNGKING
Chungking. Aug. 11. Four hundred Japanese planes participated in the most severe aerial bombardment Chungking has yet suffered. The raids lasted nine and ahalf hours and the alarm sounded at 4.10 a.m., after only a short lull from Sunday’s raids, which kept the populace underground 14 hours. To-day’s attack was the culmination of a series of raids during the past four days, in which more than 3000 bombs have been dropped. - U.P.A.
