Embassies Silent On Japan's Warning Note
EVACUATION OF ENORMOUS AREA RECOMMENDED
Matter Apparently In Hands of Governments
Hankow, Feb. 3.
The various embassies here have received copies of the Note delivered yesterday to their representatives in Peiping by the "Provisional Government," urging all foreign nationals to evacuate a huge area north of the Yangtse River.
In view of the big issues involved none of the embassies is willing to offer comment, and it is believed that they have all referred the matter to their home governments.
In its Scope
the warning is unprecedented. Previously the Japanese, before bombing Chinese cities, only requested the evacuation of neutrals from specified cities and towns, but the area now involved comprises a part or the whole of seven provinces-Kiangsi,. Anhwei, Shantung, Honan, Hupeh, Shansi and Szechuen-in which more than 150,000,000 Chinese are believed to live. A large number of foreign missionaries and educationists also reside in this colossal area.
Considerable alarm is felt regarding | the position of Hankow, where it Chinese population of congested
about 1,000,000 Intermingles freely the districts where a large foreign community resides,
Various embassies have been established here, and there are large British, American, French German interests in the city.
