1T was on August 15 4; that Japan
threw herselft into tho European war
as Grdat Britpin's ally after demand
Ing that Germany withdraw or Intern
all German warships in Asiatic waters
and rehnquish possession OF Kiauehau.

Tho strength OF the attacking force -
as compared with tho little, garrison OF :
some 1000 mon, and tho few German
vessels ut Kiauclinu was so dispropor- =
tomato that ut the beginning Of tho
campaign 1t was taken for granted that
the German poss session would soon fall 3
The surprise was that so small a force
could hold out so long. Reports from,
various: sources pieced together lndi- y
cate that the allies loss around Kiau-
chau has bech UPWARDS of 1000 and
several scccDd-rate warBfips. sssSx
Details of the rnoveinont have been y
secret, but the first general operations
by the Japanese was the
sweeping of the waters around Kiau-
chan for German mines. During tile
campaign at least ono
Japanese mine-dragging boat was
blown up. lf s
