Border Disputes During 1938-

TOKYO, Mar. 7. THE MANCHUKUOAN Gov- ernment has protested to the Soviet Union over 158 border disputes last year, according to an aflicial statement Issued in Hainking.

Altogether there were 166 disputes during the year, and Russia replied to only $1 of the protests.

No case has been settled, but two have been partially settled."

The disputes are stated to have arisen over cases of illegal crossing of the frontier, shooting, kidnapping, interference with river traffic, illegal Jand surveys, and destruction of border posts.

The Intest Incident reported to-day Is from Harbin, where ten Soviet cavalrymen

have are alleged to crossed the border north of Sulfeng.

Before they were repelled, one cavalryman was wounded.-Reuter.
