Fighting is reported to have broken nut in the province, of Suiyan, where 3000 Chahar cavalry, infantry, and artillery attacked Chinese entrenched north-east of Taolin.
Eight Japanese aeroplanes dropped bombs, some of which it is alleged contained gas, on the Chinese, who repulsed six assaults. The attackers withdrew in a snowstorm.
