Gov. Harry F. Byrd and a group
of State officials were to arrive be-
fore the steamers sailing at. 8

JAPANESE PROTEST
MUKDEN TROUBLE

TOXIC, September S.--Anti.Japa-
nese demonstrations are continuing In
Mukden, Manchuria. official reports
say, and other similar manifestations
are expected. The Japanese residents
are uneasy, and it has been thought
necessary to provide guards for their
children on the way to and from
school.
The Japanese Minister to China,
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, yesterday pro.
tested to Marshal Chang Tso.Lin, the
Manchurian military dictator, request.
ing him to take steps to end the dis
turbances. The government is await.
ing a reply which 1t expects will be
satisfactory.
Mystified by Outbreaks.
A foreign Office spokesman was non.
committal today when asked as to the
possible steps to be taken by Japan in
the event the disturbances continue.
Government officials seem mystified by
the outbreaks, which they consider
due to a misunderstanding regarding
Japan's so-called positive policy in
Manchuria.
1t is intimated by some, however
that what they term Chang Tso.Lin's
''overweening pride" is responsible.
Moreover the opinion is expressed that
the war lord, who for long time past
has not been popular with the Jap.
anese generally, will by his latest ac-
ton lose the sympathy even of those
who hitherto have been favorably dis
posed toward him.
1t is understood that the Japanese
premier, Baron Tanaka, formerly re.
puted to be friendly toward Chang,
is extremely incensed at him.
