Hankow, Feb. 20.
Japanese forces north of Kaifeng made an attempt to cross the Yellow River at Chulin to-day. Gun fire was audible at Kaifeng.
The Japanese forces invading southeast Shansi have captured Tungyangkwan, a strategic pass in the Taikan mountains.
They have also taken Lichen, west if Tungyangkwan, and are at present advancing towards Changchi and Chingchen.
The object of this move is to cut the Tungpu Railway and capture Lin feng, the present seat of the Shansi Provincial Government.—Reuter.
