JAP NESE RAID
LEAVES CANTON
FULL OF SLAIN
Bombs Rain on Homes
of Poorer Glasses

CANTON, China, Sept. 23
japanese war planes attacked this
large southern Chinese port today
in one Of the worst air raids ever
visited upon a Far Eastern city.
Ten heavy Japanese bombers
and a number of fighters partici-
pated in the devastating attack,
in which bombs were dropped on
heavily populated areas Of the ma
tive quarters. Chinese planes
which sought to drive off the at
tackers became locked in deadly
dog fights" with the Japanese
aircraft.
AS the raid continued, most OF
the bombs fell into the densely
packed dwelling areas Of the
poorer classes. No accurate esti-
mate of the casualties was imme-
diately available, but it was feared
the loss of life in the new raid
would be extremely heavy.
Foreigners who visited areas hit
by the raid declared they wit

bombs left gaps so yards wide in
rows of dwellings that had been
filled with living persons, but now
were Uttered with bodies.
Hundreds of frantic children
roamed the streets seeking their
parents, their piteous cries min
Cling with the wailings of unhappy
relatives seeking lost members Of
their families.
A children's school in the vi.
cinity of TungShan was completely
demolished, but only a few per
sons were inside it because Of a
Chinese holiday. Two hundred
Chinese. however, were killed in
the vicinity of the school.

the city, fighting off Chinese
planes which attempted to bar
their progress and then dropping
countless missiles of death and
destruction on the city beneath.
Due either to poor aim or pre-
conceived plan, the bombs dropped
only on heavily populated reSiden-
tial areas. Not a single govern
ment building or military estab-
lishment was hit.
BUILDINGS RAZED
Instead entire blocks of the city
of a million and a half persons
were RACED to the ground. In
the Shambles of what had once
been homes, terribly mutilated
bodies lay in CHASTITY postures on
top of or beneath heaps of debris.
The carnage, it was reported,
dwarfed yesterdays attacks on
Marking and even outdid Shang-
hai's bloody Saturday" in which
hundreds fell victim to hail of
shells in the international Settle
ment early in the war.
No survey of yesterdays destruc-
ton and bloodshed in Marking has
yet been completed. Preliminary
Chinese estimates stated 20 per.
sons were killed and 80 wounded,
while at least 200 more were killed
and injured in a refugee camp
just outside the capital.
Meanwhile, it was reported the
japanese have sufficient materials
to carry out raids by so planes on
Marking every day for two weeks,
with each plane carrying a ton
