JAPANESE TROOPS IN NORTH
UHINA.
De Mr. George Lynch, in a criticism of the Allied Troops taking part in the campaign in North China, writes as follows concerning the Japanese, which is of special interest when taken in connection with the unwilling admira tion expressed by the Name Freya, as re ported in a recent selegram
The Japanese infantry were a surprise and revelation in most of the Allies, Notwithstanding the enoring trouble they have taken with their cavalry, it is immensely inferior to every other arm of their service. This is not to be wondered at: when we reflect how little the japanese are accustomed to horse-riding at home, and what small opportunities they have of acquiring that knowledge of the management of horses which comes instinctively to the English groom, or to the Trish farmer's son, or field labourer The lack of efficient cavalry is with the Japan ese largely compensated for by the extreme inobility of the infantry. They appear to do everything at, the double. All their soldiers seem to be perpethaily kept in the best of hard training. If they have not horses at home, they have plenty of rikisha men, who consider thirly to thirty-five miles of running not an excessive day's work.
"Often watching the Japanese maneuvring in the field, it occurred to me that if the men of her entire army; had not served, no ap- prepliceship between the shafts of the riksha, they must at least bave passed through some training equally severe. On the expedi- tion to Peking they carried with them a num
ber of light calibre gung, which they pulled
into action and kept right in the fring line. In every detail of their camp equipment, food supply, and field hospital corps, there was a neatness of packing and arrangement which ap- parently resulted in their carrying all their res quirements in about a third less space than any of the others. The simple fare of the Japanese soldiers was ideal for compaigning, Brandly speaking, it consists of rice, with what might be called a flavouring of strong-lasting dried fish and mysterious brown condiments suggestive of curry. As they have madelled their feet on our own, so they have drawn from the French and German armies a selection of their uniform and equipment. The colour of their uni form at home is dark blue. But during the expedition in Icking their uniform was white, which would have murderously con spicious in operations against any other force that was composed of less bad marksinen than the Chinese. This is now to be abandoned, and is to be replaced by something in the nature of khaki, and their heavy round German capa by straw hats or helmets, which will give more protection against the sun; although not looking so smart.
Although the offices of all the Al ies were immensely stitick by the discipline and equip. ment of the Japanese, close observers were still more attracted by the underlying soldier spirit which animates them. An inherent spirit of soldiering seems to posess every Japanese as a natural heritage. They seem to fave fighting for fighting's sake. They appear to enjoy the whole thing as schoolboys do their games, They take their killing much more kindly than the others, and appear to be much more fami. liarised with the idea that it is part of the game, Indeed, there is a zest, and à verve, and gō about them when in action 'that I have never seen in
any
other troops. There were numerous gallant instances in the siege of Tientsin of their utter disregard of death. And outside the gates of Peking it looked to me that ten men who were killed in their attempts to blow it up, might Apparently have been indefinitely multiplied at the command of their officers without Any danger of faltering. When at ten o'clock at night they advanced to take the gate by assault which they had failed to force in the morning, it was immensely attractive to observe the gaiety, the hilarity, with which they charged forward to the attack. All movements such as this they accompany with singing.
"At night, in the camps on the way up, what I had mistaken for some Buddhist evening prayer, when the soldiers tramped round like A human prayer wheel, was, I subsequently discovered, the chanting of a war-song which had been composed by General Fukushima. himself.

SOME RUSSIAN YARNS ABOUT THE CHINESE WAR.
BV SAMUEL JOHNSON
From various sources have I gathered the following ideas of Russians about the Chinese Welter—a terrible muddle, in which expressed. virtue and suppressed information are con- spicious features. Of course nebody has plun- The British troops never dered or looted. thought of such a thing. Te French at once returned a few samples of Chinese art, destined by a thoughtless General to adorn the nation museums. The Germans were above sus pición, while nothing could be more impeccable than the attitude of the japanese under templa tion. The Russians, alout, have been an exception to the honourable rule, according to the newspapers of Europe. "Yes" clamoured (certain organs of public apinoin, we are all spotless except the Russians, and they loot and do other things, which to us are indefensible The Kussian code of monds is not ours; thank goodness!".

jungle struggled incessantly to regain the clearing. Half-burne logs and trunks lay felled to the ground upon 'every side. And ever I heard the crash of falling timber as yet another tree was hewn from the jungle's ranks. But for these and the repeated cries of the wah-wah smoothing his silky brown coat with bis long arms, nothing disturbed the despera'e, intolerable, silence of the Malay
forest. One blessed the shrill monotones of the monkey, while one wearied of them. On three sides of the clearing the jungle was drawn up in battle array, on the fourth a mud-coloured river raced past a small wooden pier and my host's bungalow.
The coffee planter joined us at my first break fast upon the estate. Rather to meet his ex- pectations than flatter, my host, I praised our surroundings cheerfully.
The proprietor endeavoured to conceal his vanity, and failed completely. "The shanty cost me nine hundred dollars to build," he said, or say-forty-five pounds. Put it briefly thus: "Jungle timber, timber planks, planks maisonette."
I should call it a villanelle," I suggested. The remark was not appreciated."
"Even the windows, our host continued, "are home-glazed with the glass tops of rubber plant boxes." One might have credited many origins to the windows, though the coffee-planter asserted that, given sufficient soap and water, one might see through theura charming aspect of the jungle,
My Russian friends pay little heed to all this, but in private conversation they tell me that

"Brazil," he said, "isplayed out. Two years, hence coffee will fetch forty dollars a picul. If I can but bold out till then!" he added, wistfully.
There lay the rub. Debts increased daily. Bankers would not be wheedled into granting fresh loans. Luxury was unknown, Tobacco bad replaced not very costly cigara. Meat meant always an ill-conditioned fowla boll: day jaunt a trip upon the "Sapphe" to Singa- pore... A joumey to the moon was as feasible as a visit to the old country. "Tida apa" they muttered often enough with the Malays, but it was a very sour "Never mind.” And in spite of all, they managed to play very respect- able cricket.
It would appear that the Japanese were far away the most successful of these art collectors. The Germans were, however, very good and thorough in their methods of acquiring things worth having, as indeed is usually the case; whilst our troopers from Bengal, though of marked ability at this-work, showed perhaps, more. zeal than discrimination. I have heard nothing from my Russian friends about what they may have done themselves in the looting line, but they have a very quaint stary con cerning their German allies, which is worth telling. It seems that the Russians had to um över a portion of the Summer Palace to a German detachment on starting on an expedi- lion of some kind against the Chinese. Before quitting the palace, the Russians made up a minute inventory of the contents of the build- ings which they were, about to evacuate, and handed it to the officer commanding the Ger- man troops, who replaced them. This catalogne was made out in Russian and in French. When "The interesting thing to observe will be to the Russians returned from their expedition and see how the Japanese behave when they are resumed their old quarters, they were astonished getting the worst of it, how they will conduct to find that the entire contents of these buildings themselves when they are outnumbered, or had vanished.
