He said that the present Emperor and his brothers and their family had come in contact with the Christian religion which no doubt did have an nfluence on Japan for good. He mentioned that the present Emper- or during his visit to London some years ago had been presented with a. Bible by the Bible Society which he had accepted, Rev.

The R. C. A. F. bombing squad- rons were commanded by wing Commanders D. A. F. Bradshaw of London, Ont., Johnny Fulton of IP68. Johnny Fuuquier of Ottawa ad A. C. P. Clayton or Vancouver. While they were laying

it waste the German city other can.

adian airmen in coastal command aircraft and a fleet of Boston bombers were playing a pa", 1n diversionary raids.

The attack cost the B. A. l". 44 Diane!- hishest loss of any raid but small considering the number 0f nianes~used.---whe» Canadian air- men said they were amazed at the feeble opposition from anti-aircraft fire and night fighters.

Flufluier. who has been on many raids before, said he found the night's work one of his easiest operations Sqdm-Ildr. Len Fraser 0f Wiuuipeil. another veteran bomber, called it "a piece of cake."

First to Return

PO, L. G. ftigginson of Montreal. captain of the first aircraft to re- turn in his squadron, gave the ground crews and station personnel first news of damage done.

He estimated the smoke column 8,000 feet, and Fauquier, who landed a little later, added another 2.000 feet to that figure. Still later reconnaissance this morning showed smoke had risen to 15.000 feet.

"It was s bigger blaze than Luebeck." said l-figginson, refer- ring to the smashing attack last March on the German Baltic port. Others in the squadron who had been in both operations agreed.

“I'd estimate nearly seven- eighths of Cologne was in flames.“ Fauquier said. “When We got there I almost felt like leaving to find another target. It didn't seem pos- sible we could do any more dam- age than had already been done."

More Than lnndon

PO. H. J. M. Liaceiie of Toronto. s rear gunner, said he saw Lon- don burnin during the battle of gritain 9J1 "that was nothing compared with Cologne."

"Cologne was like s. sea of flame." was Hunt's comment.

Many navigators were

of instruments, as soon as they came within 100 miles of Cologne.

“The glow in the sky told us where it was," said PO. W. H. Baldwin of Ottawa. navigator in one huge four-engined bomber. "We couldn't miss it.

"I've never seen anything like it," added Sgt. H. W, (Happy) Porritt oi Vancouver". “I dorft. know how the bomb aimers man- aged to do their aiming. There was such a mass of flames below you couldn't pick out one spot from another."

Similar reports on huge fires blazing fiercely throughout. the city were given by Fit-Sgt. J. R. Morrison of v/lllllipig, rear-gun- ner, P, E. M. Lieitli of ‘Toronto. navigator P. O. A. G. W. Gerty of Abbotsflord, B. C.. and FltSgts. H. S. Hill of Montreal and W. L.

Scot-t of Yorkton. Sask., both pilots. The squadron flying four-en-

gine machines had only recently switched over from Wellington bombers and this was their first operation-and the first for any Canadian unit in such huge air- craft, The raid came as a birth- day present for this squadron be- cause lt was formed Just one year a

go.

In addition to the damage caus- ed by the bomber squadrons, a Boston bomber unit of the R. C. A. F. plastered runways of two enemy airdromcs with bombs as they helped the main force by keeping German fighters from in- torcopting.

It was the second night in suc- cesion of heavy activity by can. adafs airmen.

Friday nisht five Canadian squadrons flew with tho n, A, p, in smashing factories near Paris and a convoy off the Frisian Is- lands. the Netherlands.

Crew from squadrons command- ed by Fulton. Clayton and Brad. shaw took part in the raid on the Gnome-Rilone engine works at Genneviliiers, near Paris, while Fit-Lt. Ralph Christie of North Bay, Ont, and Wing-Cmdr. E. L. Wurtelc of Montreal lead coastal command squadrons in the ship- ping raid.

Wing-Cmdr. R. H. Niven of Cal- gary also took his R. A. F. dawn patrol squadron into the shipping engagement in which eight Ger- man ships were hit by bombs, four of them apparently being set aire.
