GERMANY'S LAST STRONGHOLD

Band of Men Held Of Vast

Tokio.-It is officially announced
that the German fortress OF Tsingtau
has surrendered to the Japanese and
British forces.
The Germans hoisted the white flag
at o'clock Saturday morning at the
weather observation bureau at Using
tau.
The fall of Tsingtau ends the most
picturesque of the minor phases of
the great world war. On two CONT
nents and in many of the islands of
the seas where colonies OF the war
ring nations were planted, combats of
more or less interest have taken p &c,
garrisons have been captured and
towns occupied peacefully, but in the
little German concession on the south
side OF the Shan Tung peninsula Of
China there has been going on since
late in August a reduced scale of war
that, from all accounts. has duplicat-
ed nearly all the features of those bat
ties in Europe that have resulted in
the capture of fortified positions. The
capture of Tsingtau loses to Germany
her last foot CT possession on the
Asiatic mainland, as we'll as her last
strategic position outside OF the Ger.
man empire in Europe.
For nearly three months the little
German garrison, amounting to about
1000 men and nearly wholly COM
posed of reservists who were living or
doing business in China, has held out
against the land and sea attacks OF
the Japanese and of certain British de-
tachments of both white and Indian
troops that found themselves in China

HOLY WAR AGAINST
ENEMIES Of TURKS
CHIEF OF ALL ISLAM CALLS ON
FAITHFUL TO COME TO AID
OF THEIR COUNTRY.
The Effects of the Proclamation Have
Already Been Anticipated in
Egypt, Where Martial Law
Has Been Declared.

London. - Advices from German
sources by wireless say that thu
Sheik-ul-Islam. ecclesiastical head Of
the 220'ooo,OO0 Mohammedans in the
w0 Id, has proclaimed a holy war OF
Is am AGAINST the enemies OF Turkey.
The significance OF this action be
comes evident when it is recalled that
more than 100.O0O,OO0 Mohammedans.
or nearly half the total number in the
world. are now under English rule
These men. according to a proclama
ton. said to have been issued by the
Sheik-ul-lslam, must either fight the
enemies of Turkey or be disloyal tc
the head of their faith
The effects of this proclamation
have already been anticipated in
Egypt, where martial law has been
declared. No serious demonstration
OF the Mohammedan population Is
feared in India. IL is stated that the
great majority of the followers OF Is
lam there are loyal to Great Britain
This statement is borne out by the
proclamation issued by the Nizam OF
Pyderabad. who is perhaps the most
important Moslem potentate in India
calling upon all Moslems in that coun.
try TO remain loyal to Great Britain.
Already there are reports that the
Mohammedans of Afghanistan are
marching upon the Indian frontier. A
message from Constantinople via Der.
lin says that the ameer of Afghan.
istan has sent out 10000 men with
l35 guns. While the number OF men
is an obvious exaggeration. it is re.
called that England has already fought
two costly wars with the Afghans and
that she has never subdued them
