LONDON, August 20.-Both Chinese

warlike activities and preparations along
the Manchurian border, with increasing

sions by the opposing armies.
Dispatches from Mukden, Manchuria,
said Chinese defenders and 5000 Soviet,
cavalry invaders from Nikolsk yesterday
engaged in a fierce struggle for the
village Of Tungninsien, south Of Pog-
ranichnaya, in which the settlement
changed hands several times, but finally
was retained by the Chinese.
A dispatch from Blagoveschensk,
Siberia, said Chinese troops supported
by White Guard attachments fired on
Soviet monitor on the Amur River
about 95 miles northwest of here. Si-
simultaneously Chinese fred upon Soviet
troops and civilians in the vicinity Of
Lake Hanka. near the villages of Gro-.
denko and Poltavsk. The Reds resisted
energetically.
Moscow Warns.
The Moscow government, through the
German diplomatic force there, dis
patched a note to both the Mukden
provincial and Marking central Chinese
governments. warning against bands Of
White Russians and demanding that
these bands be disarmed and Chinese
troops prevented from making further
entertainments on Soviet territory.
The note enumerated q series Of
raids said TO have been carried on by
White Russians and Chinese in which
Soviet soldiers and civilians were killed
and concluded with the statement that
unless the demands are complied with
otherwise further complications caused
by new attacks on Soviet territory will
fall entirely on the Marking and Muk-
den governments"
Wang Says More Troops Ready.
Mukden dispatches reported tanks,
airplanes and searchlights on the way
to the front" and Tass, the official
Russian news agency, citing the same
reports from Hardin, added that Chi
nese authorities had permitted the for
nation of new White Guard detaoh-
ments on the frontier. G. T. Wang, Chi

thousands would be sent.
Chinese general staff officers were said
by Tass to have arrived at Pogranich-
maya, at the eastern terminus of the
Chinese Eastern Railway. Tass charged
mistreatment of Soviet prisoners in
Manchuria, and said the German con-
suls visiting the camps had found them
half naked, eating half rotten food. and
being treated in brutal and abusive
manner.
Despite these threatening aspects Of
the international situation growing out
Of the seizure of the Chinese Eastern
Railway they were not believed to lead
inevitably to war, but on the contrary to
represent attempts by each government
to disclaim the onus Of any conflict, and
make it seem the other is at fault.

PEIPING. August 20 (P).-Sensational
reports of the alleged invasion Of Chi
