| MOSCOW, Sept. II (UP).-
Chinese and Russian white guards
in Manchuria have suffered heavy
casualties in fighting along the
Manchurian border, reports here
said today.
In some instances red troops
chased alleged attackers across the
border, the reports said, adding
also that many white Russians had
been caught in Soviet territory.
A promise to give "Chinese mill
talists the strongest proofs Of the
determination and ability of the So
Wet government to prevent further
provocative raids into Russian terri
tory" was carried in an editorial
in the newspaper Izvestia today
War Lords Anxious.
Press reports from Harbin and
Mukden, Manchuria, yesterday re-
Elected a saddened and worried at
mosphere surrounding the Chinese
] militarist government, as result
of their attempts over the week end
and Monday to break through the
Soviet Union border at many points.
The news is still given in a
garbled fashion, as an unwarranted
attack with airplanes, gunboats
and artillery on the Chinese posi-
titons at Pogranitchaya and Man
chuli.
The Mukden government hardly
conceals the fact that its forces
were considerably demoralized in
the attack on the Red Army.
Retreat to Mulin.
An official account states that
Pogranitchanya is abandoned and a
prey to bandits, who are probably
deserting and starving mercenary
soldiers of Chang Hsueh-liang's s
army. The Chang army has taken
up position at Mulin, where "10,-
900 Chinese soldiers who valiantly
defended Pogranitchnaya are now
entrenched."

In Moscow, a report has been re-
ceived through Tass News Agency
that Chang Hsueh-liang's army in

promptly repulsed and driven ovel
