SITUATION ALONG BORDER IS "GRAVE"

RED RAIDERS STILL ACTIVE

Peking. Yesterday. A very reliable foreign report from Harbin dated August 19, summing up the situation in Man- churia, states that the frontier situation is grave. It goes on to state that small Russian raiding parties have clashed with Chinese troops near Manchuli, Suifenho and Lahasusu, on Chinese soil.

The total Chinese casualties hitherto are 200 killed and wound- ed. *

Kuominchun Jingoism

Shanghai, Yesterday, According to the (semi-oficial) Kuo-min news agency, the leading Kuominchun generals are urging the National Government to declare war against Russia and they offer to lead their units as advance Forces in the National Army.

It is reported that Marshal Chiang Kai-shek is due here to- morrow to inspect the troops in the Shanghai-Woozang area. Reuter.

Business Depression

Tokyo, Yesterday. A message from Manchuli states that, fearing an outbreak of hostilities at any moment, Chinese and Russian merchants have al- ready withdrawn, Japanese mer- chants are prepared to follow their example, but this is due to business depression rather than apprehen- sion of a Sino-Soviet clash being imminent.

A message from Harbin late last night states that an engineer was seriously injured and two others slightly injured when the locomo- tive of a train from Harbin was blown up near Tapinlin.. The ex- plosion, which is said to have been due to a bomb on the railway track, as a fuse was found nearby, is at- tributed to a Soviet malcontent. Reuter.
