[Received May 16—5:55 a.m.]

441. Department’s 159, May 15, 5 p.m.40 Action taken limited to Tungchow and immediate neighborhood. Americans chiefly involved. I have had no information regarding other nationalities. We were chiefly concerned about children in American school at Tungchow, Peiping city and neighborhood quiet. It has not seemed necessary to consider precautionary steps here as no immediate danger expected.
