CHINESE MOVE INTO MANCHURIA
NOT MADE QUICKLY ENOUGH Recd. 8 p.m. Chungking, Jan. 18. The Chinese Government, whose troops already are in Mukden, and more are en route by sea, is believed to have urged the Russians to delay withdrawal from Manchuria until after the scheduled date of February 3, because the Chinese have been unable to move sufficiently fast to take effective control, and fear that the Communists will reach strategic points before them, says the Associated Press. The National Military Council alleged that 5000 Communists overwhelmed a small Government garrison on Monday at. the southern Manchurian port of Yingchow, in violation of the truce.
The China Central news agency said the first group of Chinese National troops, which reached Mukden on Wednesday, found the city stripped of heavy machinery, and not even a single rifle can be found, although the Mukden arsenal is one of the largest in the world.
