China offers conditions the reverse for the most part; the climate is generally damp, the country is low and open. It is besides universally cultivated, and offers little natural shelter. There are great extremes of temperature between Winter and Summer, and cotton clothes, such as were worn in the Transvaal, are dangerous for Europeans. The country, though largely denuded of its natural forests, is rich in colour, there are few opportunities for exercising the tacties of the Boers, and operations would of equal necessity be in the open. Concealment, except for troops specially told off, would be rather a. disadvantage than otherwise, In fact it might be said that of all weat Yet such is the khaki was the very worst.
