Is Actual Warfare Against China
and Surpasses Tactics of Japanese
The Police Are Seized.

Peking.-A square mile of territory
adjoining the French concession at
lien Fsin has been forcibly seized by
the French consul with the assistance
OF troops The Chinese police were
arrested and Frenehmen substituted
1or them. Replying to a protest from
the Chinese foreign office. the French
legation at Picking replied it assumed
lhe responsibility OF any violence that
might result from the action
The district occupied by the French
Is thlckly populated. and the Chinese
are threatening violence, as they have
stubbornly resisted for many years an
nexation to the French concession,
and 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 as
sailing the action of the French, de-
ciaring that it ''surpasses Japanese
Iactics and is actual warfare against
defenseless China
TienTsin is the port of Peking, and
has a population of 10000 The
French concession in Tien Tsin is SIT
uated on the eastern bank of the Hal
Ho and prior to its present extension
was about one mile and half long
by half mile in width South of the
French concession lies the British con-
cession, while to the north are the
Italian and Japanese settlements.
The territory that las been taken
by the French was the sole remaining
district in the foreign concessions in
h~0ited by natives. and its seizure by
the French probably means that the
Chinese section will be entirely elimi-
mated from the foreign area.
