The country around Peiping is infested with "marauders" against whom the Japanese are conducting. a "mopping up" campaign. Firing can be heard in all directions out- side the city walls at night.
The British and American Em- bassles have again drawn the at- tention of the Japanese 'Govern- ment to the tendency of its troops to use the diplomatic quarters of Peiping as a base of operations.
