SOVIETS MOB
: CHINA ENJOYS
Panic Reigns at Embassy
Orientals File Reply
Y To Russian Note

MOSCOW, July 17.-P-The
demonstrations continue against the
Chinese government, despite an
nouncement of what was considered
a c~onciliatory communique from the
Marking government.
RUSSIANS and Chinese eXpatriates
stormed the Chinese embassy on the
-2apotkin Pereulok, throwing eggs,
sticks and stones, and smashing
WINDOW panes. War helmeted,
heavily armed regiments of cay
paSour" (secret police cavalry. and
infantry were nard put to preserve
order.
Inside the embassy the demon
stration, which increased in inten-
sity as night went on, caused a
panic among the staff of 20 or more
who huddled together in one of the
looms in suspense. They were pale
and haggard.
STA Wen Sun, Chinese diplomatic
representative, told the correspond
ent he had not left the embassy for
two days and had not slept for two
nights, cabling message after mes
sage with the hope of some word
which would relieve their suspense.
The TaSs agency, official Russian
news source, issued the following:
Friends of peace breathed freer
when the Chinese diplomatic rep
resentative here submitted to the
foreign office a c~onciliatory COM
munique from Marking, saying:
Although the entire cable con-
tanning the soviet protest demand
ing a reply by a given date has not
been received, its main idea is al
ready understood. Our government
ordinarily maintains peaceful rela-
tons with the soviet union and al
though the Hardin incidents neceS-
STATED taking measures regarding
the Chinese eastern railway, these
cannot affect existing relations be-
tween the two countries.
Ambassador Chu Gao Yang soon
will return to his post but if the
soviet government has the same
opinion of the subject it may be de-
liberated by both sides. In our
opinion all problems must be solved
OF the basis Of existing agreements
and thrashed out at the conference.
Under such conditions the questions
will be solved easily"
The communicate ended declaring
the Marking government would re"
ply to the Russian note Immediately
after the full text was received.
Tass simultaneously published a
statement that the soviet govern
ment did not intend to reply to the
Chinese communique but would
await the actual reply to its note
(the ultimatum) of July ID.
NANKING, China, July 17.-CP-
China's nationalist government has
replied to Soviet Russia'S ultlmatum
growing out Of Manchurian seizure
of the Chinese Eastern railway. the
Marking governments answer being
DISPATCHED pust within the three
dav time limit named by MOSCOW.
The Marking note. after seeking TO
Justify events in Manchuria, con-
tanned three points Of salient I'M
p~ortance:
THAT Marking Every soon" Will
send Chu Gao Yang. former amoas-
sador at Moscow, who is now IN
Marking, to Moscow to discuss mat
ted pending between the two gov
ef9ments.
"A demand-wh:ch was en-
phasized as not a counter demand
that the soviet release all Chinese
imprisoned in Russia.
"a similar demand that the
Moscow government protect ade-
uuately Chinese nationals in Rus
STA from aggression and repression.
Almost coincidentally with dis
patch Of the governments reply to
Moscow it was revealed that 5000
Manchurian troops had been mo-
bilized within the past 48 hours for
strategic positions on the border
principally at Manchuli, terminus
OF the Chinese Eastern railway.
In justifying seizure Of the Chi
nese Eastern and expulsion Of its
Russian officers and employees the
note declared they and Russia had
not abided by the agreement Of
1924 fixing the relationship of the
two countries with regard to the
railroad and the actions taken were
necessary to preserve order in Man
churia.
The charge was made that Soviet
Russian agents in Manchuria, had
spread communist propaganda SO as
to endanger the Chinese govern
ment and its social system.
The Marking note was a reply to
the Soviet note handed the charge
at Moscow, Saturday at midnight,
the last # which was received in
Marking by President Chang Kai
Shek yesterday morning. Moscow
demanded release Of arrested Rus
slams, cancellation of illegal orders
presumed to mean those taking

two countries to vaccinations
