SHANGHAI, (Wednesday), Mar. 2. — Fresh Japanese reinforce- ments saw their first action this morning in a general attack in the Kiangwan-Chapei sectors in which they beat back the Chinese front line in the face of intense machine gun fire. The Chinese, weakened by' assault lasting from dawn till dusk yesterday, fell back to the south, fighting for every foot of ground. Nests of machine gunners covered the retreat while the main body took up positions in second- ary defense lines prepared for just such a ‘contingency. Chapel In Ruins

The Japanese headquarters an- nounced that during yesterday's action the whole line between Kiangwan and Miaochungchen, a distance of about two miles, had been advanced from three-fourths of 0. mile to a mile. These new positions were consolidated during the night and long before daybreak the Japanese were again pressing forward. What was left of Chapel W88 burned early this morning.
