Commercial accks have been transported as military supplies, it is stated. Japanese officers stationed at Harbin, according to the Hochi, are involved in the scandal which gendaries are investigating. It | is stated that Japanese merchants in Harbin have resorted to bribes for army officers in order to get their goods shipped over the Chinese Eastern Railways from Chang Chua.
