MANCHUKU0 AREA
SEIZED BY CHINESE
Friction Between Russia and
Japan Feared as Result of
Su's Revolt.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MUKDEN, Manchuria, September 20.
Difficulties of Soviet Russia and ia
pan. on the Manchurian border. were
revived today by the revolt of the Chi
nese general, Su Ping-Wen. whose
troops seized the key border town OF
Manchun and a considerable part of
the surrounding area of Manchukuo.
A large number of Manchukuo troops
were killed when Gen. Sus artillery
destroyed four barracks at Manchuli
and seized a number of towns and vii
lagos in the vicinity, reports said.
Manchukuo authorities appeared un-
able to proceed against Gen. Su's men
and the possibility of japanese mill
tary action was complicated, owing to
the possible danger of a clash on the
Russian frontier, which might involve
the Red army.
Soviet troops previously were reported
to have crossed the old Russia Man
churia boundary, advancing half way to
Manchuli. That the Soviets planned to
remain neutral was indicated, however,
by a Soviet offer of refuge for the jap
anese in Manchuli If they could get
to the Russian side of the border.
Japan has troops at Tsitsihar, 800
miles away, but the only relief in sight
appeared to be the Mongol cavalry sta
toned at Dalainor, so miles south of
Manchuli. The loyalty of the Mongols
to Henry Pu-Yi's regime was believed
assured by the presence in Changchu
now of IL or more young Mongol princes
from the Dalainor district.
Manchuli is the point where the Chi
nese Eastern Railway connects with
the Soviet Trans ns-Siberian Railway.
Gen. Su, former lieutenant of Gen.
Ma Chan-Shsn, was commander of tine
Chinese Eastern Railway guards in a
large western area and had been thought
loyal to the new Manchukuo regime.

Charged, Says Mills.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Germany has postponed $1,000, 900
debt payment, but SO far as Official no
tices go. the Treasury still expects to
collect $123,5oo,ooo from other foreign
nations in December.
Announcement by Secretary Mills
that Germany will delay a $4,000 ,0c0
mixed claims payment and a $4,000, 600
installment due on American Army Of
Occupation costs today brought debt
payments postponed this year to total
of SO 052, 900.
Previously, Estonia, Latvia and Po-
land had given the required 90-day no
tice that they would be unable to make
payments Of S1,252. 900 on December Is.
But in conjunction with this formal
announcement of Germany's action,
Secretary Mills told newspaper men no
similar situation has arisen with any
of the other debtor nations. which. al
together, have payments Of $123, 500 900
falling due December Is.
Interest to Be Paid.
Under the German debt-funding
agreement its mixed claims payment
goes over two years at S per cent inter
est, while the $3,000,000 Army costs
are postponed two and one-half years
at 35s per cent interest.
Mills said the German Ambassador
advised him in June that his country
possibly would not make its payments
ON September 80. He added:
/ The Secretary advised the AmhaSsa-
dor that If Germany delayed its deci-
sion, the 90-day notice would later
be waived If the German government
should decide before September 80 that
it must give notice of postponement.
such notice Of postponement as pro-
vided in the original debt agreement
has now been received, and the Secre-
tary of the Treasury has waived the
9O-day notice in accordance with his
assurance to the German Ambassador.
Exchange Trouble Blamed.
Mills said inability to obtain the nee
essary foreign exchange was the reason
given by Germany for the postpone
ment.
The formal announcement by the
Secretary said that when Ambassador
Won Prittwitz called upon him just be-
for the start of the 90-day period he
had informed him that while Germany
desired to make the payments, exigen-
cies might arise which would make 1t
impossible. and unless he could be as
sured that the 80 days notice require
ment would be waived, he would have
to give notice then of the postponement.
Mills said that in hope the payment
would be met, he agreed to waive the
notice.
