JEHOL BATTLE

SERIOUS FIGHTING IN PROGRESS

Peking, Feb. 23.

That the threatened Japanese ultimatum to Marshal Chang Hsueh-Hang is a purely formal matter seems to be borne out by the fact that one of the most serious engagements is being fought. General Tung Fu-ting, Chinese commander at Chaoyang reported by telegraph last evening an engagement the day before, when the Japanese casualties totalled 300. The Chinese losses were equally heavy.

General Tung Fu-ting declares that the Japanese forces are about 4,000 and attacked from Chao- Fangsu, following up air bombings by Infantry attack and bayonet his charges. He declares that troops waited till the Japanese were within 100 yards when they inflicted heavy casualties with machine guns. Later he made a counter-attack and the cavalry of both sides were engaged. The Chi- nase attempted flanking the move- ment across the railway, thus stop ping the Japanese advance on Nanling.
