“CEASE FIRE”
Hostilities Ended At Changkufeng
(Received August 11, 11.55 p.m.)
TOKIO, August 11
After intermittent hostilities overnight, Japanese buglers on the Changkufeng front sounded “Cease fire” at noon local time to-day. Two hours previously the whole front had been ablaze with rifle and shell fire. The Russians earlier had violently attacked the Japanese lines, using handgrenades, but were repulsed. Five Soviet planes flew over Korea. One was brought down as the bugles rang out. Russians and Japanese were separated at Changkufeng by 70 yards, at' Shaotsaoping by 320 yards, at Hill 52 by 430 yards, and at Kangwanping by 220 yards. The terms of the armistice have been received in Tokio without comment. Prices advanced from two to five points on the stock exchange as a result of the news.
