Presaging a merciless major at,
tack against Nanking, japanese

demands for unconditional sur
render.

hourly grew more tense. japanese
assault troops swarmed around
the walls Of China's smoking cap

themselves against its ramparts
and plant their rising sun ban
ners in the center OF the be-
leaguered capital.
The request for evacuation OF
foreigners from 37auking was
made to foreign consular repre-
sentatives here ~ Japanese mill
tary authorities.
SAFETY ZONES REFUSED
The consllS were asked to ad-
wise their nationals to leave Man
king without delay" A spokes-
man at the Japanese Embassy
said:
1.-The nature Of the terrain
and the Chinese defense works
at Marking have compelled
Japanese authorities to regard
Nanking as one large fortifica-
ton.

assurances whatever regarding
