SQUABBLES IN MANCHURIA.
CHINESE AND KOREANS. THE TROUBLE EXAGGERATED. FARMERS AT LOGGERHEADS. By Tolcfcraph—Press Association —Copyright. (Received 6.5 p.m.) A. and N.Z. TOKIO, Oct. 9. Recent fcports of alleged fighting in Manchuria between Chinese and Japanese soldiers appear to have been fictitious. The stories seem to have been based on paragraphs in local newspapers, which sensationally exaggerated somo squabbles between Chmeso and Korean squatters in the neighbourhood of Antnng, on the south-eastern border of Manchuria. The Koreans, who are not populaf with the Chinese residents, claim the protection of the Japanese Consul against Chitieso farmers, who threaten to prevent the Koreans from harvesting small patches of rice. Local Chinese police and Japanese railway guards are endeavouring to prevent violence. Kofean squatters on the Korean border are a constant source of trouble. They are always anti-Japanese until the Chinese attack them. Then they seek Japanese protection.
