The Consul General at Hankow (Adams) to the Secretary of State

Hankow, January 8, 1932—noon.
[Received 5:20 p.m.]

3. Communists are heavily attacking Hwangpei city 20 miles north of Hankow. Although Shekow, 10 miles north of Hankow, is protected by strong military trenches, I have, as a precautionary measure, advised the American women and children of the Lutheran Theological Seminary there to withdraw therefrom for a few days. Legation and Nanking informed.

Adams
