The Counselor of Embassy in China (Lockhart) to the Secretary of State
[Received August 2—5:45 a.m.]
360. My 355, August 1, 3 [5?] p.m. The two regiments of the 132nd Division, under arms, passed quietly out of the north gates last night unmolested and are proceeding to a point on the Peiping–Suiyuan Railway, probably Nankow, where they will entrain for Kalgan. So far as is known up to noon today they have encountered no difficulties in their march across the country. The exit of these troops from Peiping has further relaxed the tension and practically all shops, except Japanese, have reopened. The removal of these troops presumably completes the evacuation of all the troops [stationed] there under General Sung Che Yuan.
Repeated to Nanking.
