FRENCH SHIP STOPPED
DUTCH PATROL BOAT ESCORT TO BATAVIA (Reed. Aug. 5. 11.30 a.m.) BATAVIA, Aug. 4. A patrol boat arrested the French steamer Dupleix which was escorted into Batavia harbour yesterday. This is the first French ship engaged on the Saigon route to be detained since Japan occupied Indo-China. The last members of the Japanese ' rade mission departed for Tokio aboard the I-laruma Maru, which also took a large cargo of sugar bought prior to the sanctions which apply as from to-day. Medical services are vaccinating the Batavia population against cholera, typhoid and dysentery as a precaution against epidemics in case of war.
