The position that the japanese occupy on Liao tics an Peninsula is not Clear but numerous chinese sources aver that the japanese have been seen in Force in that Section. Apparently a crushing attack originating in Louisa Bay swept through the Pigeon Bay positions into the Peninsula in the doing of which a majority of the lives of the expedition were sacrificed. On the night of the loth the Battle lulled some what when the japanese sent the terms of surrender general Stoessel.
