HORRORS OF THE WAR ON CHINA Story of the Awful March on PekingA Saturnalia of Blood, Crime and .v DeathFist Fights of the Soldiers Witk the Men Of Other Nations But Few Men Left to Tell, the Story of the Struggle. E _ . ..-" Cincinnati Enquirer. 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. THREE MONTHS OLD And Sadly Afflicted with Ecze ma Quickly Cured by Cuticura. Grateful Mother Cannot Express Her Heartfelt Thanks. I " My son became afflicted with ecze ma at the age of three months and I was sorely perplexed. I went to see several doctors about It butthey did him no good, so I tried the Cuticura Reme dies according to directions and began to notice a rapid cure. So pleased was I with the success that I continued, and now I am so grateful to the Cuti cura Remedies that I cannot express my heartfelt thanks. He is now two years old and all cured with no sign of the disease returning. Qreat thanks to the Cuticura Remedies." Feb. 19, 1908. Mrs. M.

'"*&^w^^MI 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." 'HEALTH BES0RT' Loathsome Cannibal Meal Made on Island Recommended for Invalid s. 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." THE MINNEAPOLIS JOURHAL. RAILROADS.

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 confidence In her boyish, husband, "If I dls- "But What's the use of waiting so long?"

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.
