CHINESE MACHINES OVER JAPAN THOUSAND MILE JOURNEY MADE WITHOUT LOSS NO PURSUIT PLANES MET (Recd This Day, 1.35 p.m.) HANKOW, May 20. The flight of a thousand miles by Chinese war planes to Japan and back (reported in an earlier cablegram), occupied 11J hours. The commander of the flight, comprising 27 planes, was Hsu Shun Shan, who said Japanese warships fired at the planes without effect. The flight reached Japan, circled the south-western island and dropped pamphlets. It did not encounter anti-aircraft guns or pursuit planes, though the cities were blacked out. A Shanghai message states that the Chinese captured Kinsian and checked the Japanese drive on Kweiteh.
