Peiping, May 26.
As the Legation Quarter is a special area administered by an international body selected from members of various embassies, the growing number of countries involved in the European hostilities is expected to cause local complications.
Following the invasion of the Low Countries, the Netherlands Legation gave Germans notice to quit certain Dutch property in the Legation Quarter.
The Germans are now removing their school and club to the grounds of the ex-Austrian Legation seized by them when Austria was annexed, and in retaliation, have expelled all Dutch subjects, Hitherto, the Germans have not attempted to take over the Dutch and Belgian Legations, and it seems very doubtful whether the Japanese would allow such a step.
There are no Norwegian and Danish Legations at Peiping—Reuter.
