Most of the troops in this neighbourhood came from the Kinhan line, where-particularly during the régime of General Sun Yueh, a year aga
these practices became notorious. 'Enormons quantities of both import and export cargo are held up here (Tientsin)" and in the interior. There are some firms here each of which is prepared to ship 200 carloads, mostly to Peking, im mediately cars are available, and it is

daily to Chinwangtao, find it necessary to dump the remainder of the daily out- put, and there is a large accumulation
in stock at the mines.
One favourable sign is the statement.
