BERLIN. Nov. 13 (By Courier 20
Rotterdam and BY Mail to New York;
three thousand against sixty thous-
and" That, according to information
from German official sources. is the
story of the defense and fall of Using
tau, GCrmany's little colonial outpost
as "lost' from the moment that the
war began. II was only a question
of how long they could defend them
selves against overpowering num-
bers.
Japan made war on the little Using
tau colony and naval station. Using
/ tau held out six weeks. The German
press is full of praise for the gal
] liant little band and declares that the
] defense is one of the most glorious
/ pages in German history"
Tsingtau was not under the control
of DR.. Solf. the Colonial Minister, but
being a naval station IL was under
/ the administrative jurisdition Of
/ Grand Admiral Won Tirpitz, Minister
/ of Marine.
According to information given me,
the regular garrison of Tsingtau con-
sisted Of 2,4O0 men, but with reserv-
lists and volunteers, this force was
brought up to 5000 when japan de-
clared intentions of taking il away
from Germany. Tsingtau had a
civilian population of 2.069, including
40 Americans and 81 English. There
were 1, 1873 men and-S6S women.
From 1897 to 1913 Germany spent
$40, 100000 there in excess of income
private capital invested in commercial
enterprises was approximately OF
S36, 800 900. OF these, the Shantung
Railway with a capital of S15,000,00C
and the German Asiatic Bank with
$5,00O,000, we're the largest.
The garrison Of 5000 held out six
weeks. According to the Germans
j no less than 10000 Japanese partici-
pated in the final storm. The Ger
man artillery consisted of a field
battery of six guns, four u-incf
| Howitzers on Bismark hill, two &
inch and two 5-inch Howitzers on
| Iltisberg on Harbor side there wer,
seven 6-inch, two 10 and four S-incf
guns. Iltis, Jaguar. Lux and Tiger
The Cormorant, Tiger and Lux, how
ever, had been put out of commission
when the war first began as il was
realized that they would be of little
use. The German torpedoboat IS
90" sank a japanese cruiser and ther
was run ashore some distance below
Tsingtau.
Up to the present time, the Germans
have no information as to the Ger
man losses in the defense of Using
tau.
