1/1 GERMAN FORTI ' fT'n n | ^ ^ The fell of Tsing Tea ends tho moot picturesque of the minor phases i of the greet world war now raging, i On two conUflfcnU end in manjr islands of the seas where colonies' of the werriag nations were planted, j combats of more or less Interest have taken piece garrisons here been cap- : ? tared and towns occupied peacefully; ! but in the little German concession ' Rton the south side of the Bhan Tung l f" peninsula of China there has been going oh since lste in August a re- I V duced scale of War that from all ao- I / counts has duplicated nearly all fee- i lures <tf these battle# in Europe that havo-rgaUlted lit the capture of forUfled positions. ^ LAST FOaTlUCSS \ ' OUTMDE GEB3fclNY ^ The capture of Tslng Tau IcJsa to , Germany her last feot of possessions of tho Aslatla mainland as well as , her last strategic position outside of the German empire in Europe. For 'nearly three months the little German garrison of about 7,000 men has held out against the land and sea at- , tacks of the Japanese, of certain British detachments of both White add Indian troops thkt found themselves in China At the butbreak of , the war. What the loeefcs of the garrison hare been are not known but tho offlclal Japanese and British reports hare indicated that Tain Tan uu Dcen lasen at neavy cost or men : on the part of the aillee.' It wee on/ : August 16th that Japan threw hereelf Into the Baropeen war aa Great Britain's ally after demanding that Germany withdraw or Intern nil German warships in Asiatic waters end relinquish possession of Mlao Chow. Her demands ignored, Japan proceeded eantioosly-wlth plana to seise Uo ami MIMhu on U>> CM nese mainland. The, operations have been reduced to a scale of some 100 square miles, hot .on that account they have been none tjte lees interesting. Aeroplanes end all other aocompanlments of modern warfare have figured in both Japaneee and German operations. l0b8 of thb allocs * IS SAID TO BE GREAT The strength of the attacking force as compared with the. little' garrison of some 7,000 men and the tew\ German vessels at Ktao Chow waa so disproportion ate -that the beginning of the campaign It wad taken for granted that the German posses lone would soon fall. The surprise waa that so small a force could hold out so Ipnl. Reports from various ouroee pieced together Indicate that , the alliee' lose around Klao Chow has been upwards of 1,000 and seveml second rete warships. Details of the morements have been secret but the flret general operation undertaken bj the Japanese* was the sweeping of the waters around Ktao Chow for German mines. During die mine sweeping campaign at least one Japanese mine dragging boat was blown up. The next general more on the part of the Japenese was to seise the German-owned railway running west from Tslng Tan into the province of 8han Tung. This was done undhr violent protest k from the Chinese government f wliloh held that it violated the Integrity of the Chinese republic. The number cf the.expeditionary forces has not been oflkially divulged but it Is said to have been upwards of Sf'000 men. BTitleh detachment of some tOO South Wales Borderers and 400 Indian Sikhs, nnder brigadier General Nathaniel W. Bernardlaton, commander of the North China forces, la said to hava formed a part of the center of the Japanese line in the Investment to Tslng Tau. TWO MONTHS OF ; ' INCESSANT BATTLE . .

JLIl ILJ Jj , p !1 1 . - tfcSS AT FALLSI IN ^ OF JAPANESE one of the most severe of these en gagements, on October S, It was an aounced that tho Japanese loss was 1,700 killed and 600 wounded. A1 rarlous times German losses were reported up to a score or moro. On the night of October 17 the moat serious of the Japanese naval 10686s occurred when the\ cruiser rakachlho was blown ,up bj the German torpedo boat^S-90. It was reported October 23, thai the Japanese had Installed their siege guns on Prince Henry^jnountaln and other hills near the town. The German fortresses Included three lines of defence. The Germans also had five forts exclusively fot shore defense. The heights back of the city arc penetrated only by th) railway line and It was, probably through this patki that the allies proceeded into Tslng Tan, once the defending fortress had been silenced. ILL GERMAN HOPE 18 StOW HI.AHTHl An interesting document in connection with thev fall of Tslng Tau Is tho proclamation which the Ger man government posted on August 22. In jkls it said "never ahall wc surrender the smallest bltDfxround over which the German hag is hying! Prom this place, where we with lore and suocesa have endeavored the last seventeen years to shape a little Ger many heroes the seas we shall no1 retreat. If the enemy want Tslng Tan, ho must come and take it." JAXPAXB8E GfcT REVENGE FOR PAST TREATMENT In taking It the Japanese agalr have had revenge for eertaln phasec of their war with Chink: twenty yeari ago. Vtetortmrs. Japan was forced at the instigation of Germany, to give up Port Arthur?her main frul of victory;?which eventually becami Russian. ' Ten years later?in 1904-'05? Japan fought Russia and again tool Port "Arthur. Now, after anothei interval of ten years in assoclatioi with British forces, Japan has eelzet the German possession of Kiao Chov which has been a thorn in Japan'i side for two decades.

Hoyt. ' > Market street. Ibis morning at 10 1 o'clock tomorrow afternoon he will ' sleep in Dtkdale and that hallowed 1 i shrine of the heart will he made J I more beautiful because of the fact ' that he rests there. Dr. Hoyt was thirty-seven yean i of age. He graduated wfth honor 1 ' from the University College of Medi- 1 cine, Baltimore, and since receiving i his diploma occupied a high position s til his chosen profession, not only i among his brother practitioners, J?ut 1 i the laymen as well. He first began 1 - the study of medicine under Dr. D. ' T. tayloe.cof this city, and then went ' to Richmond where he continued U prosecute his studies in the Unlver- j > slty Collcgo of Medicine, finally 1 graduating from the University of ' i Medicine. 1 After his graduation he did surgl; cal work in the hospitals of Baltl more. He practiced medicine for several years at Roanoke Rapids and from there went to Waycross, Qa.. 5 where he entered the Atlantic Coast \ Lino Hospital as a surgeon. Aftei ' spending some time in Georgia Dr. Hoyt returned to Washington where 1 he opened a drug store and continued ! the practice of his profession. From the first he gained the confidsfl?p 1 {ho esteem and good will of his m/mr 1 pecplo which afforded him a lucrative practice.' Failing health compelled him to give pp his profession and to seok ; Western Carolina with the hope tha' his once vigorous manhood would 1 be regained, but all to no avail, for that grim monster, disease, had mat-kef him and he was soner or | later to answer the summons which Is the common lot ofhll. Dr. Hoyt possessed tho faculty making staunch, true friends?being of cheerful disposition, with a good word for everyone, hip going Is today deplored as few are. Possessing a keen intellect. If he could have been permitted to view God's handiwork longer be would have occupied a high place in his noble calling?that of relieving the ills of those of his fellowmart. He was the soul of honor, ready <o regent and just as eagerly to forgive. His word was his bond?nothing mercenary In bis make-up. He loved life and struggled as few dc | to llvb, but the Supreme Arbiter, Jwiiieu uiuvrwise, ail u iiius no ncni on this beautiful .morning to that "Undiscovered Country."

The situation affects the wealthy and well-to-do as well as the poor. It touches every home In Belglum. Our experts ca culate that in order to avoid actual 1 arvatlon Belgium must have' ever month a minimum of 60,000 tens of "wheat. 16,000 tons of corn, 6,000 tons of peas or beans, and a limited amoum of bacon or lard. ^ * To Tost 1,000,000 Monthly. "This will allow rations of tec ounces per capita dally, which U 'about half the actual soldier's ration. IAll this will cost $4,000,000 or $5.- jS 1000,000 monthly. There is no money in Belgium. The whole credit machinery l/as ceased. Eighty per cent of the people are unemployed. "A plan may be devised whereby ruch Belgians as possess property may give obligations to pay when the war ends, but even if we could realize these obligations we must ^ Etill have at least $2,600,000 monthly in food or money with which to buy it. .
