The Chinese Central News agen-
cy reported that additional Japa-
nese troops had landed at Tangku,
the ocean port of Tientsin Is miles
southeast of this city.

Tokyo that the japanese army has

Americans Protected
Earlier in the night the U. S.
embassy had taken steps to pro-
tect Americans in the danger zone.
Marines from the embassy guard
clattered through the narrow "hut-
ungs" of the walled city instructing
Americans where to concentrate in
event of general hostilities.
It was arranged. that, on the
outbreak of an emergency, signal
lights should be flashed from the
embassy radio tower to warn all
Americans to make for their con-
centration point and put them
selves under the protection of the
marines.
The dramatic order of American
authorities came after the break
down of negotiations between Chi
nese officials and Japanese army
leaders.
Chinese Muster
The japanese, their anger mount
ing because of bland Chinese delay
in bowling to their demands-ano
their anxiety mounting because of
continued concentration of Chi
nese troops in the north, seized
the main .Tientsin post office, began
censoring mails and started q
roundup Of Chinese newspaper
men.
One reason for their action was
information that there are $4,000
Chinese regulars in the area about
100 miles south of Peiping.
Foreign tension was spreading
French authorities, believing that
the next step would be an attempt
to seize the main telegraph offic.

sion-announced that they would
