(SPECIAL TO "TELEGRAPH")

HARBIN, Apr. 8. FOLLOWING THE ORDERS FOR

THE

MOBILISATION OF SOVIET FORCES IN THE TRANS-BAIKAL AREA, RUSSIAN RESIDENTS OF MANCHURIA ARE LEAVING THE COUNTRY IN THOUSANDS.

As far as the western line of the Chinese Eastern

Railway is concerned, it is learned that all Soviet citizens and their families have been ordered to evacuate as soon as possible.

The situation is regarded as critical, for the actions of the Soviet Goverment can only be interpreted as the result of a fear of conflict with Japan. Although the Soviet's relations with Japan are at present, apparently, friendly, the mobilisation order and the subsequent developments all point to a belief in Soviet official circles that friendly relations with Japan cannot last.

The Soviet Society of Aviation and Chemical De- fence is reported to be organising a more serious mili- tarisation of its 12,000,000 members.

[N Harbin, more than two thousand applications for visas have been filed with the Soviet Consul by Soviet citizens who are desirous of leaving Manchuria, "while the going is good."
