Claim Victory in 2-Day
Clash With Forces of
Manchukuo.
BIZ United Press

By united Press
MOSCOW. April 2.-Outer Mon
golia, claiming a decisive victory
in two-day battle with Japanese
Manchukuoan forces, denounced to-
day as shameless lies" japanese
versions of the fighting.
Mongolian officials said a dis
patch from Ulan Bator, capital of
the republic, charged that jap
anese army leaders were deliberate
ly trying to create a false impress
sion.
1t was indicated that the fight
ing was on a bigger scale, and the
resulting anger on both sides more
intense, than had been the case in
any previous frontier incident.
Official dispatches from Ulan
Bator said that the Japanese Man
chukuoan invaders tried to take by
storm the outer Monaghan city of
Tank Bulak, % miles inside the
Monaghan frontier.
After battle that lasted Tues
day and Wednesday morning, the
dispatches asserted, the invaders"
were driven back over the border
into Manchukuo.
Russia was expected to make an
other and possibly even more stern
protest over the battle than that
which Boris S. Stomoniakox, as
sistant commissar of foreign affairs,
made to Japanese Ambassador
Tamekichi Ohta Tuesday.
