JAPANESE FORCE TO BE INCREASED.
Toxto, August 13th.
"The attention of the Japanese Gov. ernment has recently been called to the growing activities of arawed German Austrian and Hungarian prisoners in Siberia, along the borders of Man- churia. These prisoners has practically assumed command of the forces of the Soviets and are now pressing upon the Chinese frontiers in the direction of the Lown of Manchuli and the imminence of the danger has compelled a large number of the Japanese and Chinese inhabitants of that town to seek refuge in flight. The situation involves a direct menace to
Chinese territory and is a no las serious concern to Japan, united as she is with China in bonds of close sólidarity.
The two Governments accordingly have considered, in common, the course to be adopted in this state of affairs and
have agreed, as a provisional measure of emergency, that 你 porsion of the Japanese troops at present stationed in St. Joseph's College South Manchuria be ordered immediately
to proceed to Manchuli.
