MOVEMENT OF TROOPS
IN ALL DIRECTIONS SHANGHAI, 18th July. ' Japanese Harbin messages report that Mukden arsenal is feverishly manufacturing munitions, whilst the mobilisation of and movement of troops are proceeding in all directions in Manchuria and adjoining provinces. Despite the reported friendly nature of the Chinese reply to the Soviet's ultimatum everywhere military prepar-
ations in the north show no signs of slackening. Further troop trains have left Harbin, going cast to Pograniclmaba and west to Manchuria. The few remaining Harbin Russian ollicials state that the Chinese reply fails to open the way for negotiations. The last international train from Harbin failed to connect with the Russian train at Manchuria, inferring that through traffic has been suspended. i It has been decided to carry out the long projected addition of two battalions to Japan's guards in Manchuria, which project was thought would be abandoned in view of the Kellogg Pact and.the new Cabinet's retrenchment policy. i
