TIENTSIN BLOCKADE
RENEWAL OF INSULTS TO BRITONS FOLLOWING ON RECALL OF TROOPS. RACKETEERING BY JAPANESE SENTRIES. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) NEW YORK. November 15. The “Nev/ York Times” Shanghtr correspondent says the Japanese Army in Tientsin evidently considers Britain’s gesture in recalling a majority of its armed forces in North China ’as a sign of weakness, for Peking despatches describe renewed insults to Britons in Tientsin. Japanese sentries have converted the blockade into a convenient racketeering project, charging fees for passing all kinds of foods. Now anti-British posters are appearing in Peking urging the exclusion of the British from North China.
