NO MORE FAKE BILLS
 RECEIVED BY BANKS
Flood of Counterfeits Stops and Merchants
 Double Caution

Following the scare yesterday over the circulation of counterfeit $5 bills in this city, merchants and banks redoubled their watch for the spurious money. Today no counter felt bills were received at the banks, check-up revealed. But many merchants asked to have bills in spected to determine whether they were genuine.
 Bills can be traced to no partlcu- lar persons or part of the city, prac- tically all having been turned in by merchants in different sections.
 All bills so far detected are imi- tations of series B-2 with Lincoln's picture. The paper on which they are printed is very coarse and the printing is illegible in part. The right hand seal is reversed, making it un- readable. All bills are of the large size.
 The bills are made of two separ- ate sheets of paper glued together and containing small threads.
 It is believed that those distribut- ing the bills will make some other territory their base for a while as practically all residents and mer- chants here are on the lookout for them.
 Federal authorities have been notified of the matter and are inves- tigating in an effort to run down the person or persons responsible for their distribution.

 "Relidble circles indicate that the Manchurian situation may be eA- pccted soon to assume a different aspect inasmuch as the Soviet mill tary demonstrations have failed to produce the desired effect" The despatch did not explain this reference explicitly but continued "On the contrary, the national gov ernment seems preparing to meet any Soviet military measure with strong resistance as is evidenced by official reports of troop movements northwards reinforcing the frontief forces"
