ATTACKS BY BANDITS MANCHURIA TERRITORY JAPAN SUPPRESSES REPORTS (Received September 4, 5.5 p.m.) KOBE, Sept. 3 The Japanese War Office has prohibited the publication of news of bandit attacks on Mukden, Changchun and neighbourhood except such as are published officially, owing to exaggerations hitherto. Actually the Japanese press is displaying little interest in Mancliurian banditry, although it is most troublesome. In every part of Manchuria towns are being attacked, people kidnapped and trains derailed and looted. High millet crops afford ideal cover for snipers.
