TOKIO, Nov. 8. -- Emperor Yoshihito and Empress Sadako have sent messages of appreciation to the forces of the Allies that participated in the operations resulting in the fall of Tsing-tau. To the Japanese the Emperor expressed gratitude for the "faithful discharge of their duties by the officers and men of the army and navy." ---NY Time, Archiveshttp://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A07E3DD1738E633A2575AC0A9679D946596D6CF
MEN OF "THE GALLANT ARMY AND NAVY OF JAPAN" WHO CAPTURED TSING-TAU: JAPANESE TROOPS LANDING IN LAO-SHAN BAY.
After the fall of Tsing-tau on November 7 the Admiralty cabled to the Japanese Minister of Marine: "The Board of Admiralty send their heartiest congratulations to the gallant Army and Navy of Japan on the prosperous and brilliant issue of the operations which have resulted in the fall of Tsing-tau." The Japanese began the blockade on August 27, occupying some neighbouring islands as a base. Mine-sweeping was the first task, and then, on September 18, the Japanese troops landed safely at Lao-shan Bay. They fought with great valour and suffered considerable losses. Their casualties up to November 6 were given as 200 killed and 878 wounded. In the final assault they had 14 officers wounded and 426 men killed and wounded. The number of Germans captured was 2300.—[Photo. by C.N.]
WATCHED WITH INTEREST BY THEIR "GALLANT JAPANESE COMRADES": BRITISH TROOPS LANDED TO CO-OPERATE AGAINST TSING-TAU.
In his telegram to the Japanese Minister of War after the capture of Tsing-tau, Lord Kitchener said: "Please accept my warmest congratulations on the success of the operations against Tsing-tau. Will you be so kind as to express my felicitations to the Japanese forces engaged? The British Army is proud to have been associated with its gallant Japanese comrades in this enterprise." The British force, under Brigadier-General N. Barnardiston, Commanding the Forces in North China, landed in Lao-shan Bay on September 24. Some Indian troops also took part in the fighting. The Emperor of Japan sent a message to the British force saying that he "deeply appreciates the brilliant deeds of the British Army and Navy co-operating with the Japanese."—[Photo. by C.N.]
