TOXIC, Dec. "a japanese foreign
ONCE spokesman limited today that
the United States and three other
powers were attempting to mediate
the Chinese-Japanese War.
Japan Is waiting to hear the re-
Suits" he said.
Meanwhile Toxic clung to the hope
that China would sue for peace with
the fall Of her evacuated capital, Nam
king. With Japanese columns assault
ing Marking, Toxic was surprised that
China still was silent on the question
Of peace terms.
While representatives of the war
and navy Offices conferred at the
foreign Office regarding the japanese
course OF action when and II Marking
Is taken, the foreign Office spokesman
said:
"The United States, England, Ger
many and Italy, who have large in
terests in China, may well be working
toward peace. Japan is waiting to
hear the results.
Whether such action is concerted
or individual, am uniformed. How

meanwhile is remaining anchored near
Marking to take aboard any Ameri-
cans who wish to leave.
Second Secretary George Atcheson,
jr., in charge of the Embassy there,
reported American property had been
posted with identifications issued both
by the Embassy and the defense COM
mander's headquarters. The Embassy
also has issued Identification cards
and armbands to servants left in
charge of American property.
In another protective move, Ameri-
cans were offered the Embassy as a
place of refuge if they are endangered
in their own dwellings. Atcheson said
he believed this may provide protec-
ton from possible looting and street
fighting, but probably not from artil-
lery fire because the Embassy, al
though near the geographical center
OF the city, is on exposed, elevated
ground.
