to Fall.
By the United Press.

PARIS, Sept 30.-The Japanese
legation here today declared that the
fall of the entire German fortified
positions at Kiau-chau Is imminent.
The statement says the British and
Japanese land forces have succeeded
in silencing the outer chain of land
forts and have entirely isolated the
position. Meanwhile the lombard
ment by land and sea continues.
The heavy guns of the warships
have silenced two of the harbor
forts, thanks to the accurate work
of the Japanese aviators who have
signalled the range from their hydro
planes.
1t is believed that the German
warships in the harbor will attempt
to run the blockade, and advices
from the fleet say that squadron
of battleships and armored cruisers
has been detailed especially to wait
for them.
