String of Military Cars Held up for Half Hour Japanese army trucks which apparently had not complied with the French pass regulations were again held up by the French Police at the foot of Avenue Edward VII during the tiffin hour yesterday.
A line of about fifteen cars, destined for Nantao, was delayed for half an hour, after which most of them were permitted to proceed along the Quai de France. Later in the afternoon the remaining trucks were allowed to pass.
Bund crowds leaving office buildings to go to tiffin watched the negotiations between the Japanese soldiers and the French Police with interest. Traffic was somewhat inconvenienced by the accumulation of trucks at the important intersection.
