OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1938. el M U Pi O lo la JAPS HARD III Fires and Explosions Take Heavy Toll in Protecto rate Mukden Suffers Greatest From Activity HBlnklng, Manchoukuo, Aug 10. The Japanese army after aevea yenrs In Manchoukuo still Is besot by a host of enemies, a complication of recent Incidents of suppowd sabotage indicated today. Japanese army officers admit Chi nese irregular units rrnwln active in the country In whlt'i Japan estab lished a protectorate after wresting it from China. They say the Irregulars are communist-Inspired. The unofficial complication of mysterious disasters In industry pointed to a different type of enemy working from within. Insurance Kates L'p Japanese here admitted their fire Insurance rates have been tripled In a year because of fires and explosions extending from TsltBilinr. near the northeast border, to Dairen on ihe south. The TslUIhar power plant was de stroyed twice by fires. Officials put damage at 600,000 yen (the Japanese yen la worth a fraction over 28 cents), but unofficial estimates were 1,600,000 yen. Saboteurs of a "certain foreign power" were blamed. , Last November all telephone and telegrapn comihunicationa from Hsln klng south were cut for three days, the only official explanation ucinfj that children at play dug up the cables, buried several feet under ground. Mukden has been hit hardest. The first aviation assembly plant burned last March, with at least 30 and pos sibly 100 planes destroyed, among them some of late Italian design. Four Kxplo'lon In June fire destroyed the military food and clothing depot near Mukden and damage was put at 1,360.000 yen. A nearby gasoline Installation nar rowly missed being burned. Pour huge explosions rocked Muk den In late July. Powder stores of the east arsenal were destroyed. Damage unofficially was put at 3,600,000 yen. Naval oil stores at Dairen burned for ten days In March. The military goods depot there was destroyed in June. The military supply depot at Chin chow burned In May. with a 500,000 yen loss. The tranquility that has prevailed over county offices for the past six weeks continues unabated. The quiet Is expected to terminate in Septem ber when the circuit court resumes, In the meantime, the county office forces are taking advantage of the lull to catch up with book work and recording. Sheriff Syd I. Brown reports he does not recall a time when every body was behaving so well. For a month there has been no high crimes, and few misdemeanors. No body has cashed- a bum check for two weeks, and not a country dance fistic encounter has been reported for the same period. The crime toll of Wednesday was the report a party unknown had kidnaped a St. Ber nard dog belonging to a south Pa cific Highway spot. The same quiet condition exists In state police circles. The political pot Is also dormant.
