LONDON, Jan. 21.-LR-The air
ministry announced today that
Royal Air Force planes on recon-

German patrol vessels in the Ncrth

1t said the vessels opened fire
with anti-aircraft guns while the

which fell within a few yard. of
their targets.
There were no Royal Air Force

Relations between Italy and
Chiang's government have been no
more than nominal for some time.
Although China formerly ordered
war supplies from Italy, foreign
circles said, this trade has steadily
dwindled, particularly since Chinese
ports have fallen into japanese
hands.
For this reason, foreign circles
said, Italy probably considers the
possibilities brighter for trade with
a government set up by the Japa-
nese.

foreign representatives, including
the Chinese, who first heard Of it
