JAPANESE LOSSES IN CHINA. ALLIES AND THE BURMA ROAD CHUNGKING, August 15. Since the outbreak of hostilities on July 7, 1937, Japan has lost over 1.400 planes in China, including 501 shot down by Chinese planes. These figures were given by an Air Force spokesman. General Stillwell, decorating Chinese heroes of the 1942 Burma campaign, declared that the Allies have all the men necessary for victory. “Our objective,” he said, “is to open the Burma Road, China’s-lifeline. The Chinese are depending on us. We must not fail them.”
