Hongkong, July 3.
Hongkong Government announced today that the compulsory evacuation of all non-Chinese women and children will be enforced soon with penalties for evasion of the order.
The United States Consul General here said he had not yet received official advice regard 1 the proposed order, but said he expects that it will apply to American women and children in the colony as well as to other foreigners.
So far there has been no spontaneous response to the Government's warning that families should evacuate now because evacuation may not be so comfortable later, he said. Only 120 Americans have left the Crown Colony to date.
