CHENTAO SITUATION IS CRAVE
TROUBLE PcRTENDS IN DIS
PUTED TERRITORY.
Chinese FESTIVE Over Japan's Ma
neuvers to Extend Boundaries
of Korea-Insurgents Active.

PEKING. July 11.-Attention has been
ing situation in Chentao-the territory be-
tween Korea and China that is in dispute
between China and Japan-by the increase
of Japanese troops on the border. This
augmentation of the Japanese force is
due, in part. to the Korean insurrection
and the crossing of refugee insurgents
into the Ussuri district
The Korean insurgents are under the
leadership of Li-Fan-Yan and it was on
planned to station body of military
spies in Chinese territory. This, how
ever, she was not permitted to do. Japan
has completed the construction of per-
manent administration buildings at Chen
tao.
1t is felt here that Japan's extension of
the boundaries of the region claimed in
Chentao is only a question of time. Her
claim to the ownership of this disputed
territory is in some quarters held TO be
absurd. for she has twice in the past
abandoned the fundamental principle upon
which her claim is based. Japan has
gendarmeS at no less than seventeen
points in Chentao.
Japan. 1t is declared here. interprets
the activity of the Chinese troops, espe-
cially the brigade recently enlisted at
Kirin, as a menace, and she is thought
to be anxious to precipitate the situation
to the disadvantage of China.
The Japanese are stopping and exam
lining all boats on the Tumen river and
have put a stop to Chinese crossing the
Chentao-koreanb boundary. Koreans who
want to enter Manchuria are not stopped.

small children. Frank Donnella of Fulton
Hill, Henrico county, was dismissed on a
charge of non-support, brought by the
woman in the county circuit court today.

sponsible for the separation eighteen
months ago The father mother and
close neighbors of the Donnella family
each testified that the woman's story as
to whom she had driven home with were
conflicting, and from the first indications
were that Donnella was justitiable in
ejecting her from his home.
The jury took scarce more than ten
minutes to reach a verdict. The young
wife of the Fultonite left the court
room with a naughty air and took little
on her as she passed. Louis o. Wenden-
