SUCCESSES CLAIMED BY JAPANESE USE OF POISON GAS ON ALL FRONTS. CONFIRMED BY FOREIGN OBSERVERS. ! (Recd This Day, 12.25 p.m.) TOKIO, August 31. The Japanese claim successes for their forces converging on Hankow, which are now ninety-five miles from the vanguard. Foreign observers confirm the Japanese employment of poison gas on all fronts in the drive, stating that it was used near Juichang and Shaho, but only at critical moments, because only thus were the Chinese defences penetrable.
