DESPITE SOVIET WARNING

OUTER MONGOLIA CRISIS FLARES

A JAPANESE communique this morning reveals that Japanese forces have invaded Outer Mongolian territory.

Yesterday, in Moscow, the Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Molotoff, warned Japan that any violation of Mongolian territory would be regarded by the Soviet, in view of the pact of mutual assistance with Outer Mongolia, as a violation of Soviet territory.

A Japanese communique this morning reported that Japanese

NEW SUBMARINE DIVES

TO DOOM IN IRISH SEA

LONDON, June 1.-The Admiralty has announced that the new British submarine Thetis is overdue, after carrying out diving tests off Birkenhead to-day.

The vessel has not been sighted for nine hours. The Admiralty is rushing rescue vessels to the scene.

Britain and France do not possess any apparatus similar to the diving bell used in the rescue of the United States submarine Squalus. 85 ABOARD

It is reported that a total of 85 people are at present in the sunken vessel, which lies in 120 feet of water.

The Thetis is similar to the Squalus in construction. The circumstances of her disappearance are also similar, besides her crew she carried civilian experts representing the builders, Messrs. Cammel Laird.

All British submarines carry the Davis Escape Apparatus, which was used so effectively by the crew of the submarine Poseidon when she was rammed and sank near Wei-hai-wei in 1930.

Each individual member of the crew is equipped with this apparatus, together with a life belt and oxygen container.

The fleet flashed messages to the various ships and theatres and broadcasting stations ordering the men of the 1st Anti- Submarine flotilla and 6th destroyer flotilla to report to their ships immediately.--United Press. SEARCH BEGINS

It is announced that the Admiralty are "taking all possible
