Thirteen Soviet soldiers killed and 55 wounded. One Soviet tank and one Soviet gun, were destroyed by the Japanese and one Soviet airman was captured.
Soviet headquarters stale that no attempt was made to "cross into Manchukuo térritory..
hence it was unable to pursue and surround the Japanese.
SOVIET PROTEST
Moscow, August 2. According to the Tass Agency, the Soviet Charge D'Affaires in Tokyo has been instructed to protest energetically to, Japan re- garding the Japanese penetration into Soviet territory, and draw 'at- tention to the possible very grave consequences which may result from the actions of Japanese mili- tarists who do not wish to respect; the inviolability of Soviet territory on the frontier, which is establish- ed by Russo-Chinese treatles and is clearly marked on maps annexed to such treaties bearing the signa- tures of China's representatives.

TOKYO CONFERENCES
Tokyo, Ang. 2. That the Japanese Govern- ment is taking a serious view of the recent Incidents on the Manchurian frontier is in- dicated by the fact that the War Minister. General Itaraki, was received by the Emperor yesterday for a lengthy "con- ference.
General Itagaki also confér- red at length with the Premier, Prince Konoye, the Foreign Minister, General Ugaki, and various representatives of the General Staff-(Transocean). NO ANXIETY IN LONDON
London. August 2. The Changkufeng affair is not causing particular anxiety In London, where it is generally regarded purely as a local in; cident.
Developments are prominently featured in successive editions of the newspapers, but such editorials as have hitherto touched upon the Incident decline to be alarmed.
CANNOT WISH FOR WAR The News-Chronicle consolingly remarked yesterday that nations only go to war about such in- cidents when they are decided to
to war anyway.
It is still hoped that the incident will be "localised," although it admitted that further complica-go tions are possible since the situa tion is aggravated by the air raids on Korea.
