A British report details the surrender of the German Kamerun colony after a long campaign across 461,625 square miles.

The retreat to Spanish Guineas ended with internment of 15,000 Germans and a shifting balance of territories likely to be divided among Britain, France, Belgium, and possibly Spain after the war.
