LONDON, August 16. - Reuter-
dispatches from Nanking state
that the Nationalist government
has instructed the Chinese Min
lister at Washington to notify the
Kellogg pact signatories that Rus
Sia has begun an offensive along
the Manchurian border.
The Nationalist government at
the same time instructed the Min
lister to state that China, while re-
SiSting invasion, would abide by
the spirit of the remuneration of

at a settlement of the Chinese
Eastern Railway controversy by
peaceful means.
The Chinese action was said to
have been taken after Nanking

previous dispatches that Russia
had invaded Chinese territory.
Troops Sent to Border.
Renewed alarming aspects of the
crisis were reported in Reuters dis

Gen. Ho Yu Kwan.
1t was said that 800 Russian marines
who had occupied two small towns on
the lower Sungari River had been
driven off, six Russians and two Chinese
dying in the conflict.
Some sources reported lack of agree
