JAPANESE EXCESSES
IN MANCHURIA
REFUGEES MURDERED
LONDON, May 15.
The Geneva correspondent of the Times says that the latest Sino-Japan-ese communications to the League dispel the impression that the Shanghai armistice ended the trouble in the Far East. General Machusan reports that Japanese troops entered Tungho,.los miles east of Harbin, fired buildings, looted the market, disarmed the police, arrested officials and interned them on a gunbofft, and- bayonetted women refugees. They sealed the mouths of pits in which civilians took refuge, and burned the inmates alive. The Japanese assert that 4 500 acts of brigandage occurred March Ist and April 10th in the South Manchurian Railway zone, instigated by Manchuria’s former rulers.
