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.
