Evacuation advised as Japanese drive nears Peiping area
U S citizens were urged to evacuate Tungehaw 18 miles east of Peiping amid rumors Japan would seize the area. The American community at Tungehaw includes about 20 missionaries from the American Board of Missions and the North China American School. Chinese troops defending Nantienjiang reportedly yielded to Japanese advances after armored car bombardment, with 3000 Chinese casualties cited in the Nantengmeh region. Evacuation of Tankshan, headquarters of the Kaila mining interests, began as Japanese forces attacked the town and bombed Chinese cement works and mills. Anti aircraft guns maintained altitude as British engineers and mining officials faced damage and casualties.
