Another Soviet Denial

Moscow, Oct. 5.

"Provocative invention" is the oficial Tass Agency's description of the reports published abroad that Soviet cavalry patrols and Jarmoured cars have entered Manchuria. The agency ades that the statements that troops of the Red. Army have crossed or are prepa jing to eross the Manchurian, frontier are entirely false.

Editorials on the subject of the recent long conversation—between, M. Litvinoff, the Soviet Commissar for "Foreign Affaire, and the Sapanete Ambassador' to Ruseia appeared to-day in nearly all the newspapers, which assert that as regards Manchuria "the real fight still choad" and that the operntions hitherto are mere preliminaries.—Reuter.
