 WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Today's ad- vices from Tokio stating the second Jap anese army of 30,O00 men had sailed from Hiroshchima yesterday is regarded in official circles here as the first move in the advance on ths Chinese capital at Pekin. The gulf of PechilI, which dispatches give as the probable destruc- ton of the army is the entrance to the river leading to Pekin. It is said, how ever, the forts at the entrance of the river are practically impregnable owing to the stretch of mud flats around them. It is not believed, therefore, any ad- vance on Pekin would be made up the river, but that the army would be land ed at some other port from whence a short overland march would take them to the walls of the capital.
