Chinese Government To Abandon Capital But Will Continue Fight Against Japan. CAPTURE SOOCHOW Shanghai. Nov. 24.— XU.R> American embassy archives were loaded on the gunboat Luzon at Nanking today and the embassy personnel prepared to leave as the Chinese government announced formally its abandonment of the republic's capital. In making the announcement the government said that its removal was made only in order to seek a more advantageous place from which to prosecute the war against Japan. It was promised tbax government and people would resist Japan to the last man. “The rally of the nation to resist Japan has laid the basis for a new Chinese people," said the statement. At Shanghai, the Japanese announced the capture of Soochow, 45 miles west ot Shanghai, by a stratagem reminiscent ot the wooden horse with which the Greeks took Troy. Fifteen men, it was asserted, obtained entrance to the city gates from sleepy Chinese sentinels, and making their way to a pagoda hoisted the Japanese flag as a signal to shock troops outside, who stormed the gates, cut down all Chinese who resisted, and took tho city. At Shanghai also, coincident with the'government's announcement of the abandonment of Nanking, a . statement was made public from. Mao Tse-Tung, political chieftain ■ of the Chinese communist armynow the eighth route army. Issued i at his headquarters in the fat : northwest the statement urged a ’ complete change in Chinese strategy—from passive resistance to active attack —and the massing of every able bodied man and woman in the country to fight. He promised the loyal support ot the communists to the army but said that ' it was the government army which must win the victory. The Japanese here announced the coalition of the second and !l third Japanese battle fleets into a new China seas fleet under Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, navy commander in chief at Shanghai. In announcing its abandonment ot Nanking, the government selected as its headquarters, Chungking, which becomes the emergency capital of China aS from today. Crungking is 775 miles up the Yangtze river toward the west. But for the present it is planned to conduct key departments at Hankow. 275 miles up the river from Nanking. American Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson and members of his staff were expected to leave at any hour in the Luzon, flagship of Rear Admiral E. J. Marquart. commanding the Yangtze river patrol of the U. S. navy. Johnson arranged to leave two secretaries, • George Acheson. Jr., and J. Hall Paxton, in charge ot the embassy at Nanking awaiting an expected Japanese drive. Most of the 57 Americans at Nanking, including 19 women and one child, planned to join the evacuation. Some have left. Some were due to go aboard the Luzon; others intended to go to Hankow or come eastward to Shanghai. ' . Chinese were expected to erect a strong obstructive boom across the Yangtze east of Hankow, toward Nanking, to keep Japanese warships—now expected to steam k up the river as far as the abandoned capital —from Hankow. i Evacuation continued by boat, railroad train, motor car, horse ' drawn cart and foot. Most gov- . eminent buildings were empty. Only a few, in which a skeleton i staff was maintained for the presi ent, showed signs of activity. Most • high officials remained, despite the closing of their ministries. Thous- . ands of troops marched through • the city—fresh troops eastward • from the Kwangsl, Sechuan and . Canton areas, on their way to the front, and exhausted troops, relieved from the Shanghai front, on their way to rest, President Back To Active Duty Washington, Nov 20 — (U.R) — President Roosevelt returned to active duty today and White House aides pronounced him “completely recovered" from extraction of an abscessed tooth and a minor I ailment.
