WAR in CHINA
Is GOING BADLY
FOR JAPANESE
REPORTED THAT NIPPoNEsE
HAVE LOST 10000 MEN IN
pEHiop EXTENDING OVER
3 TWO WEEKS
tBy Associated fressD

CHUNGKING. June 1.-THE
war in China is going badly
against the Japs, it was officially
announced today. In the last two
weeks, the Japs had 10000 casual
ties, and six of their divisions,
which are striving to reach this
city, have been badly riddled by
Chinese troops, while Chinese and
american flyers have been pound
ing the enemy from tho air.
Several column sof Japs have
been terrorized by American and
Chinese flyers in the last few days.
The latter, for the first time,
since they have been at war with
Japan, are now in a position to
meet on an equal basis the Japan
ese power in the air. In every COM
bat. since the Chinese and Amer
leans began their counter-offen-
sive, thew have been the winners,
most of the time by decisive mar
gins. Jap flyers are not so anxious
to engage the Chinese as the Japs
were when they were supreme in
the air, and they have broken off
every action recently when they
learned their opponents were Am
orleans.
Chinese headquarters today. in
expressing its pleasure over the
outcome of the aerial battles. have
asked for more bombers of the
precision type.
Meanwhile. in the Burma area,
precision bombings by American
and British planes, have pretty
well wrecked Japanese bases in
that area and also on Mandalay
In raid yesterday in Burma,
American flyers dropped six tons
of bombs on large japanese am
nunition dump.
