INTENSE FIGHTING
COUNTER OFFENSIVES Rec. March 1, 10.30 p.m. Shanghai, Feb. 28. The Chinese and Japanese are feverishly directing offensives at Tientsin, which at present is a powder magazine liable to explode on the slightest provocation.
Should the Japanese eross the Great Wall it is hard to forecast the reaction in Tientsin and Peking, although the Chinese offer a guarantee of protection to the Japanese. and other nations, even while resisting the Japanese encroachments. The intensity of hostilities outside the Great Wall are increasing as a rasult of a Tokio War Office statement indicating that if the Chinese continue to offer resistance on the wall ,the Japanese will be compelled to talce precautionary military measures inside the Great Wall. Meantime, the fxereeness of the attacks on the wall has slackened. Japanese losses are great. Choayang has been occupied and the fall of Chihfeng is imminent. The Chinese claim that the Japanese victories are exaggerated, declaring that it is impossible. to make such rapid advance.
