JAPENESE AIR FORCE
Estimate Of Losses (Received June 25, 11.55 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 25. It is unofficially estimated that the Japanese Navy in the last fortnight may have lost between 5 and 10 per cent, of its air force, says the Pearl Harbour correspondent of the “New York Times.” The total of enemy planes destroyed was estimated at nearer 800 than 700. because the official scobe does not include any airdraft which may have been on the Shokaku class carrier which was announced as probably sunk on June 18, or on the Hayataka'class carrier definitely sunk on June 19". i MOGAUNG ENTERED Heavy Fighting Taking a Place (Received June 26, 1.30 a.m.) KANDY, June 25. Chinese troops and units of General Lentaingne’s force have entered Mogaung, where heavy fighting is taking place, says a Burma communique. Chhidits broke through the town’s outer defences on the east, and elements of Gurkha and British county regiments captured an important stretch of railway between the station and a railway bridge over a river. Some Chinese troops are in the southern part of the town, and others on the northern edge along the railway.
