702. 1. Following from Hankow:

“August 15, noon. Clark will leave for Changsha tonight. In view of the large losses at Changsha it is possible that a joint claims commission may be desirable. In this connection is there any special data that Clark should include in his report?”

2. Legation replied that it knew of no special data but that Clark’s report on damage done American property should be as detailed as time will admit.
