Moscow, July 17—Moscow rang until an early hour today with popular protests and demonstrations against the Chinese government, despite announcement of what was considered a conciliatory communique from the Nanking government.
Russians and Chinese expatriates stormed the Chinese embassy on the Prapotkin Pereulok, throwing eggs, sticks and stones, and smashing window panes. War helmeted, heavily armed regiments of cavalry and infantry were hard put to preserve order.
Inside the embassy the demonstration, which increased in intensity as night went on, caused a panic among the staff of 20 or more who huddled together in one of the rooms in suspense. They were worn, pale and haggard with hollow cheeks and sunken eyes from want of sleep.
