DESPITE JAPANESE REQUEST TO LEAVE

London, July 12.

The British Embassy here has merely acknowledged the Japanese request to evacuate. foreign consuls and nationals from the Yangtse ports threatened by war and has forwarded the contents of the Japanese note to Hankow, where the British Ambassador, Sir Archibald Clark Kerr is at present.

Although the evacuation of British nationals from Kiukiang has now begun, British nationals at Hankow, who are known to be most reluctant to leave except in the very last extremity, have been considerably cheered by the statement of the Acting Consul-General, Mr. C. E. Whitamore, who has declared there is no. necessity for evacuation.

Mr. Whitamore's statement is in line with that of the Ambassador's reported instructions to all Consuls not to move any British nationals "unless it is absolutely essential."
