THE SIEGE OF TSINC-TAO.
GUNS DYNAMITED AFTER AMMUNITION EXHAUSTED,
Turn and Stdotoy Son Sibyiom. (Received 8 a.m.) i London, December 18.
An American coi’respondent who was present at the siege of Tsing-tao, states that some of the German guns were previously used at the siege of Paris in 1871. When the Germans had exhausted their ammunition, they dynamited the guns. Aviator Lieutenant Plushkow escaped in an interned machine to China. The Japanese are unable to understand why the Germans surrendered
while a fighting man remained and why the Governor of Tsing-tao did not commit suicide.
