PEKING, MAR. 2. AGAIN ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE CHI- NESE RIGHT FLANK, THE JAPANESE FORCES IN SOUTHERN JEHOL YESTERDAY LAUN CHED ANOTHER ATTACK IN CONSIDERABLE STRENGTH FROM A NEW DIRECTION, ACCORD- ING TO TO-DAY'S CHINESE DESPATCHES.
The Japanese reports of the opening of a fresh drive after Tuesday's general lull are thus confirmed, although military leaders state that Tokyo's success claims are considerably exaggerated.
The scene of yesterday's surprise move was an un- defended pass on the border of the province to the south of Paishihtsumen, the ultimate objective.
