Russia rumbled with war talk
while China seethed with rumors of
vast movements of troops today,
and international political experts
awaited the outcome Of the three
day ultimatum which Moscow sent
to Marking over the seizure Of the
Chinese eastern railway at Harbin,
Manchuria, and the deportation OF
900 Russian officials and employees
of the road.
Reports from Mukden said the
Nanking government had ordered
100000 troops modified and prep
aration made to move them to the
border within forty eight hours if
a later conference deemed this
necessary.
Other reports from Harbin said
travellers reported Russian railways
in certain sections filled with
troop trains bound toward the
border.

that the Russians already we're en-
trenching and establishing border
