700 Slain in One Conflict;
Japanese Troop Train
Is Saved.
ADVANCE ON RAILROAD
Toxic Backs independents
Who Seize Mukden and
Defy War Lord.
BY ID. G. BESS
United Press staff Correspondent

MUKDEN, Manchuria, Nov. TO-
japanese troops battled Chinese ir-
regulars in a renewal of warfare
in Manchuria today.
The chief clash was near Chem
chiatun, north of Mukden, where a
band of 1000 Chinese bandits at
tackled a Japanese military train
carrying wounded soldiers from the
Nonni river district.
The bandits were driven off after
battle lasting several hours. They
rallied later to threaten Chenchia-
tun. Residents of the town were
reported in panic.
The Japanese military train was
carrying 173 wounded and the bodies
of fifty-four dead from the Nonni
river district, where Japanese forces
were intrenched in preparation for
threatened counter-at by the
Manchurian forces of General Ma
Chan-Shan. The attack was made
thirty-Seven miles north of Chem
chiatun. which is on the Manchu-
rian-Mongol border.
Casualties Are Heavy
The fighting, which began Nom
day against irregularS in several dis
trictS, was reported to have re-
suited in heavy casualties. Japanese
advices estimated TOO Chinese we're
killed or wounded in an engagement
near Haicheng, fifty miles northwest
Of Dairen, where a serious situation
existed. Two Japanese were killed.
Thirty Chinese were killed in an
other fight in the same district.
General Ma has instructed his
massed forces along the Chinese
Eastern railroad to attack Japanese
lines at Tashin, some fifteen miles
south, advices to Japanese officials
said.
The Japanese troops along the
acknowledgement railroad total
about 1000, considered sufficient to
turn back the threatened attack.
While Sino-Japanese military
movements were in progress, the
final step in Mukden's civil revolt
against Marshal Chang Hsueh-
Liang, Manchurian dictator. took
place at 2 p. m. today with
the formal Inauguration of an in
dependent government.
Assisted by Japanese
Yuan Chin-Ki was at the head OF
the government, presumably assisted
by japanese advisers" who have
become part of civil units in other
Manchurian cities.
The chief concern of Japanese
authorities was in other regions of
Manchuria, where troop detach-
ments have been sent against Chi
nese irregularS in the last two DAYS.
1here also was great concern as to
developments at Chinchow, in south
Manchuria, where large force of
Chinese soldiers loyal to Chang
HSueh-Llang, was reported gather
ing.
Casualties among the Chinese
nave been reported heavy as the
japanese troops enforced their con-
troll IN scattered sections of Man
churla. Protection of the Taonan-
Anganchi railroad, which Joins the
Chlnese Eastern, was given as the
chlef problem of the Japanese
forces.
Japan has supported Chang Hal
Fehg, Manchurian general friend1v
to Toxic, in his efforts to gain con-
Irol OF the area, which includes the
important RuSsian-influenced citv
of TSitSihar.
