Declaration of War, Says Noted

Admiral

LONDON, June 18.-Evonts in Tientsin, with the support given to Japan by Germany and Italy, really amount to a declaration of war against the British Empira, and it is to challenge which must be met, declared Admiral Sir Roger Koyos, addressing a parade of A.R.P. volunteers in London to-day.

Admiral Koyos said he was convinced that if Britain was resolute and firm, and showed the whole world that the was

ASSAULT

ON BRITISH GIRL

A YOUNG BRITISH girl, whose name is at present unrevealed, was severe- man-handled by a puppet-Government Chinese policeman at the Racecourse Road exit from the British Concession in Tientsin yesterday afternoon, accord- ing to a special message from the London Correspondent of the "Hong- kong Telegraph."

The message states that the girl is believed to have been partially stripped by the policeman, who carried out the assault under the eyes of the Japanese guards. The girl was subjected to foul abuse.

According to a "Reuter" message, which confirms the London report, the young English girl was handled when she attempted to leave the Concession to visit a house near the race-course Japanese Concession.

"Reuter" also reports that a British stripped naked at the same search point.

Several tins of canned foods which he was carrying were prised open with the point of the Japanese sentry's bayonet.

"The two incidents have stiffened the determination of British residents to see the blockade through," states the "Reuter" message.

The blockade took a more threatened turn yesterday when supplies of fresh food were cut off or turned back from the Anglo-French Concessions by machine-gun armed motor-boats patrolling the Haiho River.

BLOCKADE SUCCEEDING

Mr. A. E. Tipper, Chairman of the British Municipal Council, admitted that the Japanese river blockade was the most serious step yet taken to starve out the British and French Concessions. He told "Reuter" that the river blockade had proved com- pletely successful.

Ás a result of the Intensification of the blockade, stocks of fresh foodstuffs are almost non-existent in the Concessions now. The refusal of the Japanese to permit blocks of ice to be taken into the British Concession resulted in the condemnation
