Vice Minister of the Navy Suzki said: "For the present Japan mast administer the concession.

When peace in the European war is declared, then Japan will take up with' China" the transfer of the concession back to her." This statement was interpreted as dirfposir.gr of the rumor that Japan, because it has cost her not less than men, three torpedo destroyers ar.d one old cruiser, would demand that China Rive her title to the captured territory. The official reports of the taking of the German fortified position describe the work of the Japanese soldiers and marines as of the utmost brilliancy. YOUNG GIRL HEROINE.
