INVASION OF SHANSI
JAPANESE ALLEGE USE OF POISON GAS. SHOTS EXCHANGED WITH SOVIET PATROLS. TOKIO, June 19. It is admitted 200,000 Chinese have
invaded Shansi province, which the Japanese claimed to dominate. The Japanese accuse the Chinese of using poison gas. The Japanese forces approaching Hankow along the Yangtse River have reached the edge of the Tapieshan mountain range, the city's natural defence barrier. The Domei agency interprets the Japanese bombing of Hainan Island, near French Indo-China, as a warning to France against giving further assistance to the Chinese. The same agency reports an armed clash between Russians and Japanese on the Manchukuan border. Shots were exchanged. CHIANG KAI-SHEK. CONDEMNED BY PUPPET GOVERNMENT. PEKING, June 18. The Japanese puppet Government has issued a manifesto condemning General Chiang Kai-shek for cutting the dikes, which will serve no purpose but the destruction of the Chinese State and the impoverishment of the people. The manifesto urges him to concede defeat and sue for peace.
