There has been a great deal of hum

of which may be seen In this para

the entire ground of the so-called Trust

The Supreme Court holds that the or
ganizer of such a trust Is acting within
his rights. To deny them to him would
be to make America a fettered instead
of a free country. So far the only
trusts that can be prosecuted In the
hope of a legal remedy are those which,

when the whole amy was praying In its
'nnrrmost heart that we should take an
other day's rest. "We are tired, but the
enemy is very tired." he said in his
quaint, terse Kpgllsh; "he is also scared,
and we are not. If we keep on going, he
will not only be aware that we are not
scared, but thlrk that we are not tired.

while some of the Indian troops suffered
even more. The faces of the big, hulking
Russians were sca1et with the rush of
blocd. Their reputation as great march
ers was this time put' to no theoretical
test. After a company of them had rest
ed, the officers would 'start a song and,
all singing, they would swing out, their
tig boots plcwirg the dust as If they were
going straight through to Peking without
a stop. Gradually . one after another
would stop s'nglng'and fall back, until
the measure died out with a forlorn croak,
and then the" officers' would halt them,

Like Impressions were had by all the

son of the New York Evening Poet,
who was a comrade of Mr. Palmer on
the recent march. We quote hl3 de
scription of a Japanese officer:

things quietly all along, cared for his

and kept a very easy, pace for the foot

he rested the detachment, he called a
so!d!er, or one came voluntarily and cut
an armful of clean cornstalks, upon which
he sat easily. This kept him clei n. Many
of the troops, for their own comfort, uid
the same. If the Russians are moderately
ntilet. the Japanese on the march are s
lent. On the ether hand, during a halt
the Japs are lively and merry. I saw no
sullen, discontented faces. They are real
soldiers, not men playing at the business
and wishing they were somewhere else
and otherwise occupied.
The British found something to learn
from the Japanese: the Russians
LFrench and Americans a great deal.
The Amerlcun correspondents agree
that their countrymen In khaki were
a disappointment, not In coolness under
fire as we are glad to note, but in dis
cipline and cleanliness. Mr. Adamson
visited iho American camp while It
was belr.g prepared for the night and
wrote of it as follows:
Officers discontent with their men had
"-nched the boiling point, and they were
fi'irlng at their Inability to use extreme
Treasures vto discipline the worst element.
On little cr no pretext the men had been
dropping out. Officers had marched In
he rear of their commands to watch
there cases. But the men fell out in
Vnots, In dozens; then they were missed
V' scores, and on reaching camp the ab
vrtees were In rome cases twenty or
thirty per cent. Some cases were Ken

benst that they have never been knocked
out yet. and don't mean to be. I usually
mu inai iney were in the Old regular ser
vice, and know something of the pla'ns.
It Was a decidedly cross and unhappy
camp.
In another paragraph the rame writer
declares that, the American soldiers
gashed none of their outer garments
on the march though a British Lancer,
a type of his class, cleansed his tunic
three times In one day. "This new
American army lacks regular habits of
my kind." writes Mr. Adamson, "and
'ts best friends, the older regular offi
cers, would hesitfce lopR before they
stated that It had any real discipline.
I heard a group of marine ofilcers the
other day discussing these things. One
-aid:- 'Before I came h-re I thought
the American troors were the finest in
the world.. I had not been out here for
more than a week or two when I got
rid of that Idea once and for all.' The
rest of the group heartily agreed."

THE PUNISHMENTJO PEKING.
The Rev. Arthur H. "Smith,: for many
years a missionary in China is one of
the closest observers and the keenest
analyzers of any of tthe many able men
who have written concerning China
and the Chinese. He has a masterly
command of clear cut and decisive
English and has written two books en
titled "Chinese Characteristics" and
"Village Life In China," which are ac
knowledged to be of the highest au
thority, and to present the fullest and
tmost accurate analysis of inner Chi
nese life yet published. ,
Mr. Smith has .visited in Honolulu
and Is well-known here. He was in the
city of Peking during the siege and ?
still on the ground. He Is writing a
series of articles upon the disturbances
In China and the causes' thereof, which
are being: published in the "Outlook."
The first one is reprinted: in this is
sue of the Advertiser. It ' should be
read by every one both for the concen
trated Information contained therein,
and for the wonderfully vivid word
picturing:, showing- for the first' time
what frightful retribution has already
befallen China for its murderous at
tack on civilization. Never In the
dark ages was the sack of a. city more
complete, the destruction ".of le an
property greater and the utter, defeat
and humiliation of a government and
people so absoldte. ' v
Peking, one of the greatest and most
ancient cities, lies to-day In ruins: its

-nv and library, the oldest and one cf
the largest In the world destroyed;

scattered; its banks and business
houses not only ruined but absolutely
rooted up and wiped out of existence;
Its temples and palaces turned Into
barracks and military stables: Its holy
places desecrated, the memorial tablets
of its emperors carried away to grace
foreign museums. All of this is most
graphically described by an absolutely
reliable eyewitness.
