Admiral H. E. Yarnell, U.S. Navy, has announced that, with the resumption of more or less normal passenger sailings along and from the China coast, there is no further necessity for naval vessels to provide passage for American nationals. For the past two months Americans Kirf been given frequent opportunities to eva-enate from all ports. The sailings of the Chaumont on November 9 and the Henderson on November 10 will be the last opportunities for civilian nationals to obtain passage via naval vessels to Hongkong or Manila, unless a further emergency requiring forced evacuation arises. In this event ships of the Asiatic Fleet will again be called into service as carriers for American civilians.
The Henderson is now at the U.S. Navy buoy and will remain there until sailing on the 10th. The Chaumont left Yokohama on November 2 with 397 bags of mail and will arrive Shanghai November 9, via Chefoo and Tsingtao, She will anchor off Southeast Knoll buoy, the U.S.S. Finch providing tender services from Shanghai early on the morning of sailing The Henderson already has a full passenger list but there is sufficient space on the Chaumont for all nationals who desire passage. Requests should be filed at the American Consulate without delay.
