Japanese TO the line OF Mukden and
the Russians TO Hardin, The details
Of Inc subsequent Withdrawal have not
been arranged,

that no Notifications should be erect
cd ON Japans side which could support
war fleet or under whose guns a fleet
could operate. They did not want the
situation 10 be similar to that Of CT
bnItlr which, although open" could,
Il England desired, be instantly closed.

japanese want the method and time Of
the withdrawal Of the troops partlCul-
arl2ed and the number Of the rail-

revive In a way the very situation
which existed before the war. Control
oi Nanchuria might become bone
Of contention leading eventually to an
other war.
