MOSCOW, Aprl 18. - Soviet con-

frontier were admitted by Moscow
today, although figures we're not
available. Thorough preparations
have been made for national de-
fense it was stated.
The press gave warning that the
Soviet will not be caught unaware
The Komsomolskaya Pravda said
Hired bandits are rushing on our
frontiers. They should know there
is not a single window through
which robbers can creep without

Official circles strongly denied
any Soviet connection with the re-
cent wrecking of a Japanese troop
train in Manchuria. On the con-
trary, they insisted the wreck was
engineered by White Russian emf
gres with the connivance of some
Japanese military authorities with
the object of provoking war with

TOXIC, April 18. Concentra-

Manchurian-S Siberian frontier in
dicates Russia is preparing to fight
"either extensively or defensively,"
government spokesman said to-
day.
His statement came as he. termed

aggression in North Manchuria
absurd
The editorial had indicated
Strengthening of these "militarists"
might lead them to attempt aggres-
sion in Soviet territory, and sug-
gested the outcome of such action
would be a Russian-JapaneSe war,
chiefly because of a belief in Toxic
that America would tolerate such
action.
The spokesman denied any pos

Japanese will intervene in the event
of a clash between the Soviets
and the new Manchurian state.

she rolled off in front of the

He had been fighting snow
drifts, but speeded up his car as

highway in her pose as a friend

cud, leavened with snowballs.
Some bovine impulse made her
decide to cross the road just as
the car approached, and she
hesitated no more than would
