[Received March 12—7:25 a.m.]
My February 26, 4 p.m.17 I have been informed by the military authorities that on account of the approach of the Kwantung forces [Page 481] the Communists have raised the siege of Kanchow, and that while Americans there are presumably safe it will be impossible to confirm this until the Kwantung forces reach there.
Legation, Nanking, Hankow and Department informed.
