Canton, Dec. 2.
For the first time since their occupation of Canton, the Japanese are today forbidding foreigners entry to the city, owing. to the "rounding up of looters and gangsters." Rifle and machine-gun fire was audi ible by those in Shameen today. One foreigner, who was ignorant of, the Japanese order. and was caught unawares in the city, states that literally hundreds of Chinese were arrested and tied up at street corners. The foreigner was escorted back to Shameen by the Japanese—Reuter.
