AIRPLANS SENT
TO BATTLE ZONE

SHANGHAI. June 13. tUP) -
Three hundred japanese airplanes
arrived today at Wuhu, Yangtse
river port 200 miles from Hal1kow
and established a base from which
the Chinese expect them to launch
attacks on Hankow similar to the
mass raids on Canton.
The Chinese have their greatest
concentration of planes at Hankow
and thus far have been successful
in driving off japanese attacks.
Great air battles near Hankow were
expected in the near future.
The japanese claimed that they
had occupied Anking. and the Chi
nsSe believed the japanese would
attempt to drive on Hankow from
the south and east instead of from
the north. because Of great floods
along the yellow river.
Neutral military observers believ-
ed the occupation Of Anking was
facilitated By sell out of Chinese
provincial authorities.
japanese reports said that a naval
party. including army transports
moved up the river without opposi
ton. and that the actual occupation
OF Anking was completed after only
three hours of mild resistance and

had weakened the dykes so that
the flood waters broke through.
The Japanese charged that Chinese
troops were supervising gangs OF
farmers in breaking the dykes at
selected points.
Working with fragmentary, un-
confirmed reports, river experts
said that if it was true that at
one point the dyke was broken
along a one mile reach, it was GER
tain that thousands of square miles
of territory would be flooded and
that the loss of life might reach
into the millions eventually.
Neutrals expressed belief that the
breaks in the dykes were due partly
to the Japanese shelling, partly to
deliberate destruction by the Chi
nese in pursuit of the scorched
earth policy which they have adopt
ed in their extremity.
Chinese sources heard that
floods were raging west of Cheng-
chow, and that they were affect
ing the Lunghai railroad already
They asserted that thousands al
ready had been affected in the
Honan basin, that thousands OF
farmers were homeless and many
drowned, that a 10 mile water
head was gushing southwark, tend
ing to flood the whole area between
the Yellow river and Hwai river.
IT'S miles to the south.
They asserted that an area Of
200 square miles about Chungmou,
southeast Of Chengchow, was flood
ed and that some villages were un-
der water while the suburbs of
others were inundated. They said
that water was 10 feet deep at
Paisha, that already 700 men Of
japanese Gen. Kenji Doihara's divi-
sion had been drawned, that some
of Doihara's men were without
supplies or means of retreat, and
that there was one four mile break
in the dykes.
