ALLIED FORCES PRESS THE ATTACK AT KIAU-CHAU.
FIERCE FIRE MET BY LAND AND SEA. HIGH GROUND OCCUPIED OVER ENEMY'S MAIN LINE. ELLINGTON, September 30. The High Commissioner reports from London on September 29: It is officially announced that the allied forces began the attack on the advanced positions of the enemy at Tsing-t-au, four kilometre* (about 2J miles) from the enemy's main line of defence, on Monday. In spite of fierce fire by sea and land, the allies drove the enemy from their position and occupied high ground overlooking the enemy main line of defence. A cablegram from Tokio on Saturday last stated that a British force, under Brigadier-General Barnaldiston, landed on the previous Wednesday in the neighbourhood of Laoshan Bay, north of the German territory of Kiau-Chau, with the object of co-operating with the Japanese against the German force at 'l'sing-tau.
