Tokio.-It is officially announced
that the German fortress of Tsing-Tau
has surrendered to the Japanese and

surrender of the fortress occurred
when the infantry charged and occu-.

200 prisoners.

tInue Despite Porte'S Promise 20
Germany That italian Interests
Would Not BE Threatened.
Rome Italy is sending garrison
troops to Tripoli to defend her settle
ments and loyal tribesmen against
Arab rebels and Bedouins who have
raided supply columns in the interior
and have attacked an encampment Of
submissive tribesmen at Derna.
Turkey, it seems, has disregarded
the promise made to Italy by Germany
that the Porte would not threaten
Italian colonies and that Turkey had
no designs on TripOh. Events are
tending more and more to force Italy
into the war on the side of the Allies.
The newest, most momentous crisis
has developed in Cyrenaica. due to
the agressions of Bedouins stirred by
the preachments of Turkish and Ger
man agents.
News received here indicates Tur-
keys intention to drive the Italians
out of Tripoli and to regain the prov
inces lost in the war between Italy
and Turkey. For a week Bedouins in
the interior have waylaid small de-
tachments Of troops and have fired
upon and wounded Italian soldiers
1t seems probable that Italy will de-
mand an explanation from Turkey.
and possibly from Germany, since Ger
many has assumed to guarantee the
safety Of Tripoli.

London.-A Daily Mail correspond

how four German aeroplanes were

and shot down during the fighting last
week. Not one of the men in the
German machines escaped death.
The correspondent states that in
formation was received in the Allies
trenches that four Taubes were head

French aeroplanes at once assembled
apparently to fight the Germans. The
aircraft maneuvred for position, the
Germans SO intent on gaining good

notice how near they were to the
Allies trenches.
Suddenly the despatch continued,

London. Russia dominates the mill

she has cleared the invaders from
Russian Poland was totally unexpect-
ed and must necessarily have great
effect on the campaign in the other

Already the terror-stricken inhabi-
tants are reported fleeing from their

fact that General Won Hindenburg's
strong army is between them and the
advancing Russians. But something

message from Petrograd announces
that Russia may defer the invasion
OF Germany until her historic mission
toward the Bosporus is accomplished.
This mission includes the complete
subjection of Austria-Hungary as we'll
as the invasion Of Turkey, and, If this
is the actual plan of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, the famous Russian COM
mander In chief. the Russians may
be content to hold their present po-
sitions along the German border while
making an aggressive war toward the
south and east si.S$st:ssffs
The lull in the fighting in the en-
virons OF Dixmude and Ypres, in the
best opinion is only the prelude of a
further effort to which all the forces
that the Germans can raise will be
concentrated. The last attack, made
with twelve army corps, failed. The
next. it is expected, will be made by
even more.
All advices from the front indicate
this clearly. The reports that the
Germans are gathering an important
army at Ingelmunster the affirma-
ton that the battle against France
must be decided at an early date, the
orders given to the German generals
to break through before the end of
the month and the various movements
OF troops observed by aviators in
Belgium. all tend to show the purpose
of the Germans.
All of the military writer's here
agree that the effort will be OF the
first importance to the Germans.
