GERMAN FORTRESS
OF TS|NGTAU FALLS

Toxic, Nov. Tt is announced Of
ficially that the German fortress OF
Tsingtau has surrendered to the Jap
anese and British forces.
The fall of Tsingtau ends the most
picturesque of the inner phases of the
great world war now raging on two
continents.
The capture of Tsingtau loses to
Germany her last foot of possessions
on the Asiatic mainland as well as her
last strategic position outside Of the
German empire in Europe.
For nearly three months the little
German garrison, amounting to about
1000 men and nearly wholly composed
OF reservists who were living or doing
business in China. has held Out
against the land and sea attacks OF
the Japanese and certain British de-
tachments of both white and Indian
troops that found themselves in China
at the outbreak of the war.
What the losses Of the garrison have
been are not known, but the official
Japanese and British reports have in
dicated that Tsingtau has been taken
at heavy cost of men on the part OF
the allies.
