Toxic, Oct. 20.-The Japanese gov

tention of the Russian government to
the unlawful action of Russian troops
in using Chinese costumes. The no
tice will be served through the Amer
ican state department, which will
transmit it through the American en-
bassy at St Petersburg. A memoran-
dunn issued by the foreign office says
that on October 4 a body of infantry
belonging to a Russian regiment of
sharpshooters, wearing Chinese cos
tunes, attacked the Japaneses forces
onn the Mukden road and that Rus
SLAMS similarly clad approached the
Japanese lines and attempted sur
prises- Different reports received, II
is charged, indicate that the Russians
are purchasing enormous quantities of
Chinese costumes.
The memorandum points. out that
combatants not properly uniformed
are liable to punishment as offenders
against the laws of war, and that par
ticipation in fighting without uniforms
is violation of international usage,
an unlawful act and contrary to the
