Disquieting reports of hostilities between Russia and China have come to hand this morning. An official despatch to Nanking by General Chang 11sneb-lang says that the Soviet has attacked across the Suifenho River, and that the Russianshe are equipped with poison gås.

Meanwhile from Japanese sources, it is learned that Russiah neroplanes, demonstrating over Pogranichnaya, were fired upon by the Chinese troops. The planes later trapped bombs on Russian territory close by, the action apparently being intended as a threat of future possibilities.

Chinese troops at Manchuli are digging trenches, and every preparation is being made for a defensive campaign.

The National Government to-day issued a manifesto to the Powers alleging Communistic agitation in Manchuria, designed to create internal strife. The manifesto says that this anti- Kanking propaganda can be traced to the officials of the Chinese Eastern Railway and the, Harbin Consulate.
