FRESH ORDERS FOR

SENTRIES ON BORDER

Stripping Unnecessary To Search Foreigners, Says Japanese Commander

IN

'TIENTSIN, "JUNE 27 (REUTER)—THE COMMAN- TIENTSIN DER OF THE JAPANESE FORCES STATED TO-DAY. THAT HE HAD GIVEN FRESH INSTRUCTIONS TO SENTRIES STATIONED ON THE BORDERS OF THE CONCESSION "and said that he thought it was not necessary to strip foreigners in order" to search them. He added that the Japanese author- ities had no intention of preventing the entry of food- stuffs to the Concession and that freedom on the river will be maintained.

The Japanese Commander concluded that the blockade will be continued until the Japanese demands are met.

Fifteen European passengers who arrived in Tien- tsin on Friday in a coastal steamer were allowed to land to day. Food on board was running short on Sunday but the Japanese refused to allow anyone to land as they stated they wished to examine the cargo on the vessel.
