THE FAR EAST
TROUBLE NOT ENDED CHINESE GENERAL’S REPORT (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, May 15. The Genova correspondent of The Times says that the latest SinoJapanese communications to the League dispel the impression that the Shanghai armistice has ended the trouble in the Far East. General Ma Chu-San reports that Japanese troops entered Tungho, 105 miles east of Harbin, fired buildings, looted the market, disarmed the police, arrested officials and interned them on a gunboat, bayoneted women refugees, sealed the mouths of pits in which civilians took refuge, and burned them alive.
The Japanese assert that 3500 acts of brigandage occurred between March 1
and April 10 in the South Manchurian railway zone, instigated by Manchuria’s former rulers.
