CONCESSION AT TIENTSIN

Shanghai, To-day.

A serious anti-British riot occurred in the former Belgian Concession in Tientsin yesterday. About 200 Chinese suddenly attacked the staff quarters and offices of the International Ex- port Company, one of the biggest British firms in Tientsin.

The staff took refuge in the Texas Oil Company's installation nearby, and when they returned later found the office furniture smashed, the windows broken, the dining room wrecked and sauce sprinkled on the walls and ceiling.

Anti-British elements in the Japanese-occupied town of Kaifeng, in northern Honan, are now threa- tening the lives and property of Americans, according to a message from Hankow.

Reliable reports received in Han- kow state that Americans in Kai- feng will probably be forced to leave the town..

The reports add that the United States authorities have made strong representations to the Ja- panese on the subject.-Reuter."
