A sensational Chinese report from Tsingtao states that a number of wounded Japanese soldiers have arrived there by train, but it is not known whence they have come. It is also alleged that the Japanese have ordered 3,000 Chinese uniforms.

The Judge who ordered the release has gone into hiding, and the Marshal has requested the Dean of the Diplomatic Corps in Peking to hand over Mrs. Borodin, who is sheltering in the Soviet Embassy.
