ARSENAL UNDAMAGED
RAIDERS FAIL TO REACH .. OBJECTIVE. CIVILIANS SUFFER HEAVILY. (Recd This Day, 10.40 a.m.) HANKOW, April 29. The Japanese air raiders’ objective was the Hanyang Arsenal, China’s biggest establishment of the kind, but it entirely escaped damage. The populace cheered the fall of the flaming Japanese planes, but owing to the release of a chain of bombs right across the city, a half-mile section full of dead and wounded is a scene of mourning. Houses collapsed like cards, burying the occupants under tons of debris. Thirty charred and unidentificable bodies were recovered from a single shop.
