HORRORS OF THE WAR ON CHINA

Soldier LafflinWilliam A. Lafflin,
478 Potomac avenue, Chicago,Is tall
M and brown, wiry and slender. H e was a
i far bigger and heavier man when the regi
5 ment marched from home. H e was still big
arid burly when the regiment left Tarlac in
| Luzon for the Chinese campaign. He' has
| been back from the Orient for a year,
I but tho old weight and bulk do not return to
I him. "Guess I'll stay skinned down for
E awhile," says he. "Most of the boys who
i we nt on that campaign are the same way
9 that is, those who are alive.
1 "Our rogiment was fullyou might say,
civerloaded"when we left' Tarlac, for a lot
. of young fellows had Just' been brought on
from home, and we had a full complement
of rfficers and men. From the colonel to
the drummers there were, if I remember
right, 1.3S5 of us.
"Out of the original total 285 men were dis
charged before tho end of the campaign. The
causes' Fifty different reasons. ome, plain
desertiongot away and were never cap
tured. DozeDs of ..poor devils,. drunk of
dazed with opium, strayed away into fh
depths of Chinese cities. The fate of mo3t
of them must havo been too horrible.for im
aginaticn. Then there wera those who just
got homesick, mostly new recruits. There
were those who were a bad lot, anyhowtha
kind of follows who ure always leaving their
regiments. There was the desertion list,
whlie the dishonorable discharge' total was
swelled thru onvictlons for this, that and
the other crimes, thru drunkenness and opium
rmoking.
i "Then the death listand bow that grew
: ay after day! Men died by the bullet, and
-, tho knife, and the hatchet that is always in
the sleeve of the Chinaman waiting around
the corner for the straggler. Men died 111
fair fight, and men wore picVed off from am -
bush, and men dlod by torture, captured
whon they ventured from the lines. And
inside tho walls the boys dropped eff nke
. poisoned sheep. There was every kind cf
disease that you ever heaid cf, and a lot more
that you never draamed existed. And all the
time the boys kept going over the wallJust
lor a iark Just for a bit of air, Just for a
spreeand lots were brought back dead, and
more crawled back to die.
"I think about 100 of the boys got back
homo in the end. Of couree, some are still
out there fighting Filipinos some are try
ing various lines of business In Mtnlla, and
some, hopeless wrecks, hang around the
cpium dens and the black holes of the ea.rt,
home, friends, everything they ever were or
ever had, forgotten.
POISOND WELLS.
"Well, you've read the story of the march.
Did you ever read, tho, how the officers stood
guard at the wells along the dusty, baking,
broiling roads? Did they* tell you how col
onels and captains stood there with revolvers
drawn and how they used them, too? How
they shot down men mad with thirst, who
could not be held back by the pistols' points,
and who rushed upon the officers to drive
them from the water? Poisoned, those Chin
e&e wells werepoisonedevery one of them
. but you couldn't make those frantic soldiers
understand it. They were parching with
thirst they were burning up with red Are
Jn every throat, and so it was. that' the re
Tolvers cracked and the swords swung, and
the boys died there around the poisoned wells.
"There were bits of comedy, too, to re
lieve the horror, but the horrors were so
thick that It would have taken a dozen vaude
ville shows to light up the background. One
alght, by the sea, we camped on the pret
tiest piece of dry and level sand you ever
saw. Th e moon was big and bright, the
enemy had been driven off, and we lay
down on that sand as happy as bugs in rugs.
Then the little dog tents were up, and the
coffee steaming, and pretty soon everybody
%ras asleep.
Attacked by Land Crab s.
"And thenoh, pandemonium wasn't a
circumstance to it. Up from that camp rose
streams and yells and oaths the dog tents
were uprooted everywhere, and men were
. careering over the sand as if 100 asylums
had shot out their Inhabitants. Dozens of
t he boys, whooping and yelping, rushed into
the water and waded up to their necks.
Here and there an officer, as badly rattled
as the rest, danced up and down, howling
"Take him off, take him off! Orderly, guard,
take him off!'
And the cause of it all was an army of
devis, about, a billion creatures .more
horrible than any of the dragons the
Chinese carried on their bannersland crab*,
- gigantic land crabs, bodies.big as kegs, legs
long as nshpoles, claws twice as big as any
lobster's. They had come out of their holes
In the sand, and' every soldier had from one
to six of them attached to him. One lieuten
ant had eleven. The camp didn't quiet down
till dawn.
"Wethe American troopsbehaved pretty
well on the march. You've read what the
Russians did along the route, but nothing
you ever read could depict the truth as It
occurred. When the Russians struck a vil
lage they erased it from the earth and every
body In it. They exterminated men and wo
men, children, dogs and cattle they burned
the village to the sod and then moved on.
"We had orders during the first few weeks
to search all Chinamen coming thru the
gates, and, if they objected, to shoot them.
A s & rule, to expedite matters and save con
fusion, we shot them first and went thru them
afterwards. Great numbers of them came in
thru the gates, seeking trade, or, perhaps,
trying to look up their homes and families
' the Insolence of them! You couldn't hear
much but the popping of Krags for awhile.

TUESDAY EVENING,
Wh en we had perforated a Celestial -we
brought all his property to light, and If he
had a bunch of keys, a lot of copper cash, and
such useless trinkets we were absolutely con
scientious about turning the stuff in at head
quarters. If he possessed anything in the
way of sliver, gold or Jewelry, we overlooked
the formality of bringing in the goods.
Looting the Treasury.
"The looting was really more profitable
than has been generally supposed. When
we burst into the treasury we found huge
stacks of what seemed like policemen's
helmets, made of metal. These helmets were
solid silver. Instead of casting their silver
Into bars or bricks they make these helmets,
called 'shus,' and stack them in big piles.
"Between the 'shus' and the plunder picked
up, or taken away from the Chinamen killed
at the gate, we fared well. A fair guess at
the loot would be about $8,000 per man , and
the officers, of course, did much better. Wh at
became of the plunder? It went in a hundred
ways, but of that more later.
"As I said, we killed heathen by whole
sale at the gates for awhile, and then, as
It was very hot weather, we began to re
gret it. The dead lay in the streets, scat
tered or Reaped, and there were soon such
multitudes of them that even our burial
parties could not dispose of them. Some of
our officers were men of ready resources.
Out into the country we went, scouring the
fields for miles and catching thousands of
Mongolians. W e tied them together by the
pigtails and drove them back into town.
Then we persuaded them to collect their de
parted brethren, pile them up in big heaps
near the walls, put wood and oil upon them,
and burn them to ashes. It was a fierce
method of sanitation, but was both neces
sary and effective.
Rivers Blocked With Dead.
"Every river that ran thru that accursed
land .wa s red with blood and alogged with
dead. On every current rode the bodies of
men, women and children. Torn by shot
and cut with sabers the corpses swam grimly
past, some with grinning faces high out of
the water, some headless, armless, mere
fragments of humanity. On the river banks
sat thousands of dogs, fierce as wolves and
twice as dangerous. The dogs sat silent at
the water's edge till a body would drift near
the shore. Then they would dash into tht
water, blng the corpse ashore and fight over
It like devils till the strongest beast obtained
the prize and the weaker would slink off in
search of another carcass.
"After awhile, of course, things settled
down a bit, and there was less killing. Round
the walls grew up a city of hellopium
Joints, liquor shops, and worse. The opium
habit fastened itself on thousands. The Chi
nese liquor crazed thousands more.
Fights With the Germans.
"Then the restless spirits of the camp be
gan to quarrel with the soldiers of other na
tions. Fights with the Germans seemed spe
cially attractive to the Americans. I remem
ber one night when eleven of the hardiest
follows in the regiment, boys who had not yet
broken down under the fighting or the drink
ing, decided to go over in the German dis
trict and look for trouble. They set out, and
before long we heard an uproar, wild shout
ing, and every sign of complete success in
.finding the goods desired. They came, back,
carrying with them twenty-three German
rifles and condign punishment for the evil-
doers..' -.
"It seems that the boys had begun to stir
up the Dutchmen by the simple expedient
of killing Chinamen. While the Germans
were none too kind to the natives, it struck
them as a grave breach of etiquette that our
people should como over and kill thsir
heathens. So a battalion was ordered out
with Instructions to capture the invaders,
and this battalion, vory stern and stately,
came down the street in an impressive, stiff
backed way. Our rowdies got Into a cross
street and made a football wedge.
"When the German column was set Just,
right for a strong buck between tackle and
guard, they came on, heads down, and the
air was full of rifles and Dutchmen. The
wedge plowed right thru, and then escaped,
with twenty-three rifles as souvenirs of the
victory. After tha^, there were continual
skirmishes. Wh en the Americans were in
force, they invariably thrashed the Geiman.i,
but It was unlucky hour for the lonely sol
dier who was caught in the German district
by the sngry Prussian guards.
"All foreign, contingents were brave and
fought ijvell under .Are..' The American,"Ger
man and English, trobps were superior
physically," "to the French and Italians, tho
many of the British,were thin-chested and
stood the strain of marching, and fighting
badly.
AMERICANS WERE STAR FIGHTERS.
"The Russians were sinewy, but had as
much brain as a cigar sign. The Americans
were the keenest wltted, most ingenious,
and, perhaps, the most quarrelsome of the
white forces. The Germans and Russians
were simply fighting machines. But the stars
of the whole array-it's tough to bow before
yellow men, but you've gat to give It to them
were the little Japs. Indomitable marchers,
never seeming to tire on the hottest days or
longest roads, they are also the most tigerish
fighters in the world. They don't know the
meaning of fear, and would rather fight than
eat. They would reach camp after a day of
awful marching, and their alignment would
be simply perfection as they marched past
then they would tear into a fight, do more
than their share to win, and come back in
the same faultless, ordered lines. If any
white nation ever tries to. conquer Japan it
will have a speedy and disagreeable finish in
front of the little brown fellows who serve
under the mikado's flag.
"China? Only this: Sooner or later that
great inert mass will wake up and when
it does let Europe tremble and forget Internal
quarrels. . Give those fellows discipline, plant
national pride among them, and see what
would follow. The material 1B there. Tho
Chinese could be changed from a panic-strick
en mob to the equals of the Japanese in five
years. Conquer China? Why, what we did to
the Chinese was like a scratch on the finger
of h sleeping giant. China sleeps. A dozen
wars might rage upon the borders, but the
latent powerv-the hidden mightsleeps on.
Some day it will wake up and then It will
be time for the white race to stand from
under."

London Express.
Grewsome details of a man-eating orgy
are furnished in the annual report on
British New Guinea, "which has just been
presented to the commonwealth parli a
ment. The information is supplied by a
resident magistrate, befo re whom six na
tives had been brought charged with mur
der and cannibalism.
Two women and a boy were the wit
nesses. Laido. one of the women, swore
that the people of her village had eaten
four neighboring villager s. The victims
were two men and two women, who had
come ashore at Laido's village in a
wrecked canoe.
They were got out of^ the canoe, said
Laido, and a man named Lakapona
speared one of the men.
"Then came Taubara," the woman con
tinued. "He took his tomahawk and killed
the other man with two blows upon the
neck. Wariwarubu then killed a woman
with a blow of a tomahawk. H e held her
hair in one hand and struck her on the
neck with a tomahawk held In the other
hand. Gilinua then killed the other wo
man, also by a blow with a tomahawk.
"I saw those four people killed. I saw
with mine own eyes the four men I have
named kill them. When the four persons
were dead the people made a big fire and
scorched their bodies on It.
'Then they cut pieces off with knives
and put these pieces into pots and cooked
them. And when they were cooked the
peopleand there were manysat down
and ate of the flesh."
Had these people done her people any
Injury? Laido was asked. No, she said
it was deliberate, cold-blooded murder.
"Let us kill these people," one of the
murderers had said, "but no one Is to
talk about it, because of the police and
t he government that will come and pun
ish us."
I n view of this occurrence it is interest
ing to.note that New Guinea is officially
recommended to colonize rs as a "charm
ing health resort."

COLD HONEYMOON
California Young People Will Hunt
Foxes In Arctic Re-
gions.
Los Angeles Times.
The strangest and probably the wildest
honeymoon on record was begun in Los
Angeles a few days ago. ' Two young Ger
man people are the participants of this
unique and hazardous trip. John Drast,
the bridegroom, came to America about
five months ago with the avowed purpose
of journeying to the frozen north in search
Of fox skins* On his way across the con
tinent f helmet the girl who is now his
bride. ' He" told her of his plans, and rather
than wait until his return before marry
ing, she suggested that he take her along
and that the trip be made their honey
moon. Drast is 21 and his wife 22 years
of age.
The boat that carri es them, the Alert,
altho worn with age, is looked upon by
those familiar with her gear as a good
craft for almost any kind -of weather. She
is too small, however, to a'ttempt a trip
over so vast and rough a body of water.
The AleVt is a sloop-rigged craft, meas
uring about 33 feet over all, with a 12 -
foot beam. She was purchased from a San
Pedro fisherman for $300. The couple car
ried with them about $250 worth of pro
visions, which are expected to last the
voyagers until they reach their destina
tion.
Drast and his wife are going to a poi nt
600 miles east of the McKenzie river,
which flows into the Arctic ocean, in
search of black tox, whose skins are very
valuable. They expect to spend the winter
somewhere e n route and proceed farther
next summer. Drast said he would prob
ably return in three years. San Francis
co will be the only stop made between
Los Angeles and the Bering sea.
Drast seemed to understand the nature
of his voyage exactly, but his little girl
wife stood by and wondered what to think
of it, A t the same time manifesting all

The Wisconsin Centr al will make a
round trip rate of $8 from Minneapolis to
Chicago. This rate will be effective only
for the speci al train leaving: at 7:30 p. ra
Aug. 27. The return limit will be Sept. 16.
This rate, announced to-day by V . C.
Russell, city passenger and ticket agent,
is in connection with the special rate of
$32 to New York and return for the con
ventionof the Eagles Sept. 1-9. The Cen
tral's 'proportion of this rate is $8 and '
it was decided to give the public the ad
vantage. I t is not expected that any
other line will meet this cut as the strong
lin es do not want the demoralization
which would surely result, for three or
four days at least, should the same rate
be met by any other road.
One condition must be met by those
who take advantage of this low rate,
either to New York or to Chicago. They
must travel on the special train. Other
wise the rate to Chicago and return will
be $16, and the rate to New York and re
turn for the convention, one fare arid a
third or $34.70. This latter rate is effec
tive Aug. 28 to Sept. 3, returning to leave
New York not later than Sept. 12 and
Chicago not later than Sept. 16. Tickets
will be sold on the certificate plan, the
passenger paying $26 in Minneapolis and
upon presentation of certificate in New
York will be sold the return ticket to
Minneapolis at one-third fare.
The special train which takes the'.rrfund
trip rate of $8 to Chicago and $32 to New
York will be run thru solid to the Atlan
tic. I t will carry the delegates from
Washington, Oregon, British Columbia,
Manitoba, the Dakotas, .Minnesota and
Wisconsin. Mr. Russell will accompany
the train to Chicago and see that it is
turned over to the Wabash in proper
shape.* One particular attraction offered
by this route is a day at Niagara Falls.

Harvard's.
1 champion, I L Chandler
Egan, and Kbrman F . Hunter, the Ox
onian, furnished the most exciting match
of the contest. Five hundred enthusiasts
who watched the play, saw Hunter total
71 for the most difficult golf course in
America, breaking all records for com
petition and practice made by amateurs
arid professionals.
Not even British Champion Harry
Vardon, who made the Chicago course in
74, played such remarkable golf as Nor
man Hunter, who is a product of North
Berwick, Scotland, and who was cheered
by the largest group of professionals
from his native land that ever watched
an amateur event. -Hunter's feat of- cli p
ping off eleven strokes from the difficult
bogey score appeared so brilliant that the
victory of the Englishmen seemed a sec
ondary matter.
To-day the Englishmen practiced on the
Glen View golf course, where to-morrow
they will meet the All-Chicago team.
