ure.
Notice of the decision of
the House was Immediately
transmitted to the Senate,

the Chinese and Japanese forces
now stood opposed to each other
along a straight line running
from the northwest part of
Kiangwan to the village of Mao
shin. about five miles to the

Hirata declared the day had
been comparatively quiet along
the Kiangwan front after the
Japanese staged a heavy assault
upon the village to the northwest

took three Chinese machine-gun
nests. The japanese leader said
his men killed 180 Chinese de.

effect against the superior equip.

MISUSE Of RAIL

! CHARGED
Ambassador Hirota Called
to Account by Karakhan;
Assurances Voided

MOSCOW, Feb. 26. (1.N.SO
The Soviet government has
formally accused Japan of
failing to fulfill assurances
given the Moscow govern
ment regarding japanese pol
icy in Manchuria.
This fact was disclosed at the
foreign commiSSariat today when
It was announced that H. M.
Karakhan. vice commissar for for
eign affairs, had summoned Japan
eSe Ambassador Hirota to his Of
flee last night.
The Railroad Question
Karakhan called Japan'S atten-
ton:
/. To japanese misuse Of the
$ChineSe Eastern Railway, in
which Russia has a half-interest,
. for troop movements in North
Manchuria.
]. 2. To the activity Of white
Russians or anti-Bolsheviks in
the Manchurian territory under
Japanese control, whom the
Japanese are accused of patron
izing and supporting.
Hirota was reminded by Kara
khan that Japan had previously
given assurances that she would
not support the Russian white
guards and that her action now
was in direct contradiction of
those assurances.

$4,000 Soviet Troops
On Way to Siberia

r. MUKDEN- Feb. 26 G.N.SO.
Neutral observers here today saw
the threat of an open break be,
tween Japan and Russia soon, as
the result of the Soviet govern,
ment's refusal to give its ap
proval to moving of japanese
troops over the Chinese Eastern
railway in northern Manchuria,
half owned each by China and
Russia.
1t was possible Japanese
leaders might incur the wrath of
Soviet officials by dealing solely
with Chinese authorities of the
line, from whom they almost
certainly would get permission to
