Picking, Aug. 27.-The Japanese
forces have landed on S%hantung pen
insula to begin their investment of
the forts of Kiaochou and the Ger
man concession, according to infor-
>pation reaching the Chinese foreign
Office.
The Japanese landed under a. coy
ering fire from the light draft British
cruisers, which were able to approach
closer to the German position than
the dreadnoughts and battleships
blockading the port.
The forts are reported to have got
the range of the British and to have
killed ten men and slightly damaged
the British war craft.
1t is reported here that not only
have the Germans completely mined
their harbor, but they have strewn a
line of mines outside, which endan-
ger the blockading fleet. In addition
the Germans have removed some of
their guns in the coast forts to new
positions, thus making valueless the
maps of the defense possessed by the
Japanese.

Japanese minister requested that the
Japanese be allowed to operate be-.

The Chinese officials have again
been assured that under no -circum.
stances does Japan consider holding
the German concession when captured.
The Japanese officials, here declare
that the only sobject in taking it is to
remove the German menace to the
trade of the Orient and it will be
turned back to it's lawful owner,
China, as soon as. possible.
