ENEMY ON LUZON.
CONVINCED OF DEFEAT. (Rec. 9.30 a.ra.) NEW YORK, Aug. 23. The surrender of several thousand Japanese mountain troops in Northern Luzon was arranged yesterday for August 28, says a correspondent. A worn copy of the G.T. newspaper containing Japan’s surrender convinced the Japanese that the war was over. Beneath a Japanese battle flag American and Japanese officers discussed the capitulation while soldiers traded pistols, sabres and watches for souvenirs.
