Tientsin Is Port of Picking.

Tientsin is the port of Peking, and
has population of some 100000. The
French concession in Tientsin is sit
uated on the eastern bank of the Hal
Ho. and prior to its present extension
was about one and half miles long
by half mile wide. South of the
French concession lies the British con-
cession, while to the north are the Ital-
ian and Japanese settlements.
In 1901, following the Boxer upris-
ing, Russia, Belgium. Italy and Austria
Hungary all appropriated large areas
on the left bank of the HaiHo for
future settlements. while the British
French and Russian concessions ex-
tended their boundaries very consider
ably.
The territory that has been taken by
the French was the sole remaining dis
trict in the foreign concession inhab-
tied by natives, and its seizure by the
French probably means that the Chi
nese section will be entirely eliminated
from the foreign area.

CHINA GREETS GEN. AOKI
WITH MANIFEST DISFAVOR
Peking Newspaper Comments Sarcas
tical1y Upon the Appointment
Of Military Adviser.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.
PEKING. September 2S.-China's ap-
pointment of Maj. Gen. Nobuzumi Aoki
as first-class military adviser to the
Chinese government has provoked
and came as a great surprise to for
eigners living in China. Maj. Gen. Aokf
will receive salary of $4,000 Mexican
per month. together with an allowance
for travelling expenses
Commenting sarcastically upon the
appointment, the Peking Daily News
says:
I'VE heartily thank our Japanese
nefghbor for lending the services of so
valuable a general of the japanese
army to China for the reorganization
OF the Chinese army. The next step is
the purchase of at least half of the
arms and ammunition required by the
Chinese army from Japan, or the estab-
lishment Of Chino-Japanese arsenal in
this country under Japanese control. as
demanded by Japan last year. but re-
fused by the late President Yuan Shi
Kai. even under the threat of an ulti-
matum delivered at Peking on May T.
1915"
When Maj. Gen. Aoki was assigned to
Shanghai as an attache of the Japa-
nese consulate there in the heat of the
recent revolutionary trouble. many Chi
nese papers charged that he was the
forerunner Of Japanese military
movement designed to control the
Yangtse valley. and his employment as
an adviser to the Chinese government
is regarded with great apprehension
by Chinese journals. which demand in
formation as to why China should
place itself in Japanese hands by the
employment of the distinguished Jap
anese officer.
Mai. Gen. Aoki was the commandant
at Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese
war, and Is probably the most famous
years old. and has Travelled much ch'in In
Europe. On several occasions he has
been attached to the japanese legation
at Peking. and is an expert in Chinese

seized by the French consul. with the

The district occupied by the French

are threatening violence as they have
stubbornly resisted for many years an
nexation to the French concession, and
in its protest to the French legation
the foreign office gave warning that
it would not be responsible if violence
resulted.
The Chinese press is violently assail-
ing the action of the French, declar-
ing that it "surpasses Japanese tactics
