PREVENT LOSS OF MANCHURIA

Toxic, Aug. 23.-It was learned to-

counteract the recent move of China
by which the latter hopes to regain
control OF Manchuria. China has
been pouring colonists into Manchuria
from the south with view of forcing
out all competitors by sheer weight
of numbers. She has followed the
plan successfully many times in the
past. 1t is likely Japan and Russia
will attempt to exclude the majority
of the colonists from Manchuria there
by preventing China from exercising
