10000 RUSSIANS
INVADE MANCHUR|A
Battle Reported Near Dalai.
nor With Losses on
Both Sides.
Ey the Associated Press.

Ely the Associated Press.
LONDON, August 1.-THE first
military operations on a major scale
along the Manchurian-Siber border
where the armies Of Soviet Russia and
China have been facing each other 20:
some weeks, were reported today from,
Mukden and purported to be based on
an official announcement.
An army of 10000 Russians, equipped
with machine guns and 80 field guns
was said to have penetrated Western
Manchuria, both north and south OF
Manchuli. 1t was believed that their
objective was DalainoT.
SaN:slties on Both Sides.
Peiping reported what was apparent
1y an incident in this general advance.
Twelve Russians and four Chinese, ac-
cording to this version, were killed near
Dalainor when a troop Of TOO Soviet
cavalrymen engaged Chinese soldiers in
a three-hour conflict.
From Japanese sources came other
reports Of minor border clashes such as
have been rumored almost daily Tor
more than q week. Even before these
latest and more serious invasions 1t was
said that China had drawn attention
OF the signatorieS of the Kellogg anti
war pact to its irlfraction by Russia.
This notification was cited in Mos
COW today as evidence of Chinese in
sincerity and that China had been
made the tool of capitalistic powers.
Far-Reaching Scheme Charged.
The Soviet leaders charged that the
seizure of the Chinese Eastern Railway
and the dismissal of Soviet employees
was a well calculated step In a far
reaching scheme to draw Russia into
war. They contended that the Soviet
union had adopted only strict measures
Of resistance in the face Of 1.-The most
unprecedented provocation."
With the ofdcial charges and counter
charges from both sides and the paucity
of direct information the actual situa-
ton around Manchuli was in some
doubt tonight. Observers here did not
disguise their belief that the present
stage of the controversy Is in an un-
promising state for peaceful conclu-
sion.

The stunt show and carnival put

fred Demo of Willow River, easily won
the title of Carnival Queen" by her
lead of some 500 votes over her near
est rival. After being crowned, Miss
Demo was presented with a beautiful
gift by Superintendent Weinberger-
pretty jade green pearl mirror,
brush and comb set, in futuristic de-
sign. A splendid spirit of co-opera-
ton was shown by all the students of
the entire school in putting on this
entertainment and in making it the
success that it was. Every teacher
too, both grade and high school, had
something to do with making the car
nival we'll organized and successful.
They, along with the pupils and whole
community, are to be congratulated
on putting over such an entertain
ment in this big way.
The proceeds of the carnival will be

existing on the 100 chairs which were
purchased by the school at total cost
of $3.50, the paying off of the bal
ance yet due on the sidewalk which
was put in front of the school build
ing last spring; and in aiding the
purchase of a modern set of encyclo-
pedias for the seventh and eighth
