Shanghai, June 19.
Danish Mr. S. Langkjaer, Consul-General at Shanghai, was one of the foreigners, who were held up on the road between: Peking and Tientsin last week: and were robbed by Northern soldiers, according to reports. from Tientsin.
Several cars were held up on. the Peking-Tientsin Road and among the foreigners who sustain ed losses were Mr. Langkjaer, Mr.
L. C. Jorgenson, a Danish resident. of Tleatsin, and Mr. Carl F. Janish. a newspaper corresponTMTM dent...
Mr. Janish quietly handed over: a wrist watch, a gold ring and several smaller articles, and stood by and watched the soldiers rifle. his brief case, from which they secured a number of papers valu- able only to himself. In his effects was a supply of good cigarettes, which were confiscated, n. but his cigars were merely examin..
ed and returned to him.
n.
All passengers of the three auto.. mobiles were robbed, the articles taken consisting principally of jewellery,
Mr. Janish related an Interest- ing story upon his arrival in Tien- isin, adding that the cars were stopped at least 100 times on the way down. He described the Northern troops as ugly, insulting and extremely rough in actions and words.
Quite the opposite was the treat- ment at the hands of the Nation-.. a.alist soldiers, who also stopped

them frequently. The Southern troops apologised each time, merc ly examined the cars and overal times offered the foreigners tea. During the chaos following the evacuation, rumours were circulat- ed in Tientsin that Russian soldiers, formerly attached to Mar- shal Chang Tao-lin's army, were selling nearly new motor ears for $250 each and, motor cycles at $150 cash. People who followed up the rumour and tried to nequiro- these cheap automobiles were dis appointed. None were to be found around the central railway station, where, it was stated, the cars were to be obtained.
