TSINGTAU HANDED OVER
SHANGHAI, Nov. 10.—Tsingtau was unconditionally
handed over to Japan today by the German governor. The
German forces taken prisoners will be held until the end
of the war but the Chinese who formed part of the defen-^
sive force will probably be released to return to their
ordinary occupations in their home country. It is sup
posed here that China will now make a formal request for
the cession of the colony to China but it is not deemed
likely that Japan is yet ready to turn it over. The siege of
the place lasted only a little more than two months. On
September 2 the Japanese landed their troops on Chinese
soil near Tsingtau but their ships had already begun the
work of investment. On September 29 the Japanese had
taken the outer line of forts and for more than a month
were attacking the fortress proper after complete invest
ment. It was thought in some quarters that Tsingtau
could have resisted several months but the end was, of
course, never in doubt.
FEED STARVING BELGIANS
LONDON, Nov. 10.—The food situation in Belgium is
now showing much improvement. The American relief
commission has supplies on the way to remote sections of
the country. The unfortunate population of Belgium has
been reduced to awful straits and the tales of suffering
brought on by the war are enough to make the blood run
cold. Many poor and helpless people have been reduced to
a frightful condition but relief is now in sight. One pleas
ant fact to be related in this connection is that Germany
has signified its willingness to feed the starving popula
tion of Brussels and will now ship supplies for that pur
pose. This means the feeding of nearly a quarter of a mil
lion people.
TURKS PROTECT AMERICANS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—The Americans in Turkey
have not been molested since the beginning of the war and
are in no danger, contrary to the opinion expressed here.
The American ambassador at Constantinople reported to
day that no attempt has been made to injure any Ameri
can and also that the Turkish authorities will not permit
any offense to people of this nationality. He states further
that the Turkish people are going into the war enthusi
astically as they seem to believe that the Germans and the
Austrians will be successful and that Turkey will regain
her lost territories and secure more.
MAKE BELGIANS WORK
AMSTERDAM, Now 10.—A proclamation has been
issued by the Germans in Brussels threatening specifically
to stop the distribution of food to the Belgian unemployed
unless they resume their usual occupation. The American
relief committee is particularly busy in providing the hun
gry Belgians and even the American work of charity will
be stopped, the proclamation says. The German governor
has stated that Belgium would be in a far better condi
dition if the people buckled down to their old tasks in
stead of moping.
OCEANS CLEAR OF GERMANS
LONDON, Nov. 10.—The CruiserSydney lost only!
three men killed and fifteen injured in the fight which
ended in the burning of the German cruiser Emden at
Cocos island. The Sydney was, of course, much larger and
the Emden never had a chance to do much damage. With
the exception of the German squadron now off the coast
of Chile the whole Pacific and Indian oceans are clear of
the enemy’s warships. This squadron is composed of the
vessels which were engaged in the big naval battle some,
days ago.

NORWEGIAN STEAMER LOST
LONDON,Nov. 10.—The Norwegian steamer Pluton
bound from London for Christiania has been sunk by a
mine off Yarmouth. The vessel was carrying passengers
but all the passengers and crew were saved. It is assumed
that the mine was laid by the Germans although it is close
to the English coast.
It is feared here that the Earl of Annesley who left
England some time ago in an aeroplane has been killed.
He started out with the object of reconnoitering in the
North Sea with a view to discovering the movements of
German mine layers.

If you are just in from the hills
And have a hunger from the trail
just try one of our famous steaks
And a pint of Bass's Ale
Then take a draw at your favorite
weed
And a glass of your pet liquor
And you’ll heave a sigh, and stretch
yourself
And you’ll say,'well.I guess that’s poor.'
