JAPANESE DRIVEN OFF

Moscow, Aug. 8.

Japanese troops have been dislodged from Soviet territory. They were driven off the land which Russia claims as hers three days ago, according to a communique from the headquarters of the First Maritime Army,

It is stated that Soviet troops "strongly occupied" all border posts after an artillery duel which lasted three to four hours, with infantry and aircraft participating in the struggle.

..

The communique does not mention the outcome of the subsequent fighting. Earlier despatches said the Japanese had repulsed all Russian assaults.

On Friday, the communique adds, "the day after Mr. Mamoru Shigemitsu made his 'peaceful' proposals to M. Maxim Litvinoff, Japanese troops stationed beyond Lake Kharsan opened intense fire upon Soviet territory.

"Many guns of all calibres, includ-| ing heavy artillery, were fired from į Manchukuo territory, covering the operations of Japanese infantry which launched

Kiukiang, Aug. 8. Undetailed military reports received here yesterday claimed an important Chinese success on the north bank of the Yangtse near Susung when a major counter- attack, lasting throughout June 6, inflicted 4,000 casualties on the Japanese forces.

The Japanese invaders, constituting parts of the second, the sixth, the ninth and the thirteenth divisions, were routed and driven back to Susung, hastily bringing with them truckloads of dead and wounded and leaving the battle-field littered with many more of their slain. comrades. The debacle is said to be the heaviest the Japanese have ever suffered since they landed at Anking.
