JAPANESE AND MONGOLIANS. AGGRESSION ALLEGED. MARKED REVIVAL OF ACTIVITY. United Prass Assn.—Elec Tel. Copyright. (Received Dec. 21, 3 p.m.) LONDON, Dec. 20. The Toklo correspondent of the Times says after two months’ tranquility on the Russia-Manchuku frontier, trouble has broken out at Buirnor, where TO outer-Mongolian troops were driven off, losing 20 rifles, by a Japanese Manchukuo. border patrol. According to Moscow reports the fighting occurred on Mongolian territory, but.' Japanese newspapermen at Hsinking declare otherwise. The affair attracts attention, owing to the recently marked revival of activity in Japanese army circles and Foreign Office. Assertions are made that Russia is harbouring aggressive designs, and making warlike preparations which will materialise with the completion of the second five-year plan, also that these alarming anticipations coincide -with unprecedently large army estimates.
The Moscow report of the encounter states that troops armed with machine guns surrounded the outpost., and killed a Mongolian officer and two soldiers.
