The Consul General at Hankow (Josselyn) to the Secretary of State
[Received October 31—10:14 a.m.]
Japanese military and naval authorities are proceeding in an apparently orderly manner to occupy property for their use. Representatives from gendarmerie headquarters called yesterday and were allowed to copy data from the map in possession of this office showing American owned property insofar as it had been reported to this office. A memorandum was handed to them at the same time stating that the map did not purport to show all American owned or occupied property and making reservation of rights.
