LACK OF TROOPS CAUSE OF DEFEAT Would Have Required 20,000 Men to Have Resisted Jap ~???0? AitscUs at Tiing ta". TOKIO, Jan. 1.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Lack of soldiers and modern equipment caus ed tlie defeat at Tsingtau, according to General Meyer-Waldeck, Qerman governor of Kiao-Chow, who is held prisoner at Fukuoka. In an Interview with a Japanese newspaper man the general declared it wouid have re quired at least 20,000 men, armed with modern guns, to have resisted the Japenese attacks, whereas he had a total of only about 3.600 men and most of the gun's in thc Tsingtau fortress were of on old type. "All our supply of explosives had been exhausted when the Japanese began the final attack," he said, "so we could offer no resistance and all forts fell easy victim's. With our force \r ? could not oppose the Japanese, who had between 25,000 and 30,000 picked troops, assisted by 1.000 Brit ish troops with over a hundred pow erful guns. "A large number of our combat ant:! were wounded in the previous righting and we called out all Oer ntan residentes in Tsingtau. We had one 14 year old boy end three 15 year old boys. They were employed . In tho automobile transportation ? work." About 200 Germans were killed and 500 wounded, according to the g??n I erai. Fragments of bursting sholls caused moBt of the injuries. The gen . eral paid a tribute to the bravery and : marksmanship of the Japanese. When the Japanese artillery bombardment was at its height, he declared, be tween 500 and 600 shells hit each fort ' daily. As the bombardment of the artillery ' progressed, the general ./said, the guns from the Austrian cruiser Kaiserin Elizabeth, the German gunboat Jaguar and the destroyer, S-00, were landed and all subsequent fighting took place on land. There ls believed to be little possibility of any vessels sunk in Kiao-Chow bay which includ , ed the Kaiserin Elizabeth and ten gunboats and destroyers, ever being raised. _ The German officer's kept their swords at the express command o' the Japenese Emperor. The prisoners are distributed in different parts of ? Japan. i ? SMUGGLED HUSBAND 1 1??TO KAISER'S ARMY . American-Born Barones? Outwit? the I British, Saving Baron From , Capture* \ LONDON.
