Tsingtao, Feb. 24.
A ban on shipping along the coast Of Shantung promontory was lifted today by the command of Japanese naval forces in North China.
Since February 15, junks and other shipping traffic were prohibited from going between Weihaiwei and Tsingtao, The two ports were not included_in the ban.
The ban was lifted as a result of the completion of Japanese operations in eastern Shantung.
A partial lifting of the prohibition was made on February 20, when traffic on the coast between Tsingtao and Haiyang, 100 kilometres northeast of Tsingtao, was allowed to be resumed.—Domel.
