TOXIC, Nov. 19.-The japanese
government suggested to Soviet
Russia today that Moscow reafirm
its declaration that the Communist
state has remained aloof from the
Manchurian conflict.
The government instructed it's
ambassador at Moscow to warn the
Soviet of the danger of "complica-
tons" if Soviet forces should enter
north Manchuria.
The ambassador also was told to
inform the Soviet government that
the Chinese Eastern railroad had
not been damaged by the japanese
offensive against TsitSihar.
Replying to the recent communi-
cation from Maxim Litvinoff, Sow
let foreign commissar, the japanese
note indirectly revived reports of
Russian aid for Chinese troops in
Heilungkiang province, by indicat-
ing desire that Russia again de-
clare it is not furnishin munitions
to the Chinese.
The communication recalled that
the Japanese-owned South Man
churian railroad had refused to
transport Chinese troops during the
Chinese Russian controversy two
years ago. 1t expressed regret that

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. 49,
Japanese troops broke through the
last line of Chinese defense near
the walled city of Tsitsihar at dawn
today, occupied the city at 10 a. M,
then chased the fleeing Chinese
northWard.
The Chinese garrison, led by Cen
eral Ma Chan-Shan. fled after its
ranks had been shattered by the
Japanese attack, in a final des-
perate clash before Tsitsihar.
japanese occupation of Tsitsihar
and pursuit of the Chinese north
ward drew the Nipponese farther
into the sphere of Soviet Russia S
influence.
The Chinese population of TsitSi-
har, left behind by its defending
troops, is in a panic-stricken flight
from the city, despite the intense
cold-10 degrees below zero-the
Japanese official messages an
nounced.
Virtually all the inhabitants
evacuated in terrible confusion,
abandoning homes and belongings.
Thousands fled through the snow
to western districts, despite reports
that strong bandit hordes were
operating there.
The Japanese announced that
their troops had occupied the
Chinese Eastern railroad, which Is
under joint Soviet Chinese control,
to the east and west of Anganchi in
pursuit of the demoralized Chinese
army.

mander of the Japanese troops at
TsitSihar.
Although it is intensely cold, our
morale is excellent" the commander
reported. "The Tsitsihar district is
completely cleared of Chinese
troops and the main body of
Japanese is pursuing the scattered
Heilungkiang forces"
He said his headquarters arrived
within three miles of TsitSihar late
Wednesday night, after the Japan
csc had occupied Tsitsihar station,
on the Chinese Eastern railroad,
twenty miles south of the city, at 8
p. m.
The Japanese troops halted three
miles south of Tsitsihar to await
daylight, because there was danger
of confusion which would result in
Japanese fighting each other outside
the city.
The Chinese troops under General
Ma attempted to rally to drive the
japanese back. The japanese lines,
holding against counter-attacks,
were Shelled heavily at one time
during the night. Explosives fell
around the Japanese headquarters.
japanese military officials said
they expected the occupation to last
about three weeks. There was con-
siderable fear of complications with
Russia because of its joint control
with China of the Chinese Eastern
railroad.
The japanese, however, said they
would not modest the Chinese east
ern unless it is used by the Chinese
for military purposes.
Casualties we're heavy in the first
stages of the Japanese advance from
flashing, some forty miles south of
TsitSihar. Hundreds of casualties
on both sides were reported around
flashing. Forty-nine Japanese dead
and sixty wounded were reported
unofficial around Anganchi.
