By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Australian Press Association. Received July 12, 1.15 a.m. Shanghai, July 11.
The Harbin offices of the Soviet Mercantile Fleet, the Far Eastern Trading Organisation and the Naptha Syndicate were closed and scaled yesterday by the Chinese authorities, according to reports reaching here _ to-day. Twenty important Soviet officials were arrested for the'purpose of deportation to Russia, together with a further 40 Soviet railway employees and trade union officials. It is reported fairly reliably that General Lu-Yung-Huan, director-general of the Chinese Eastern Railway, has presented a Note to the Soviet directors of tho same railway demanding the cessation of Soviet propaganda by employees of the Soviet on that railway.
The Chinese also took control of the telegraph services. Pekin is reported to be greatly excited and is awaiting developments anxiously.
