Yen's Plan of Campaign.

This force was divided into five armies moving towards Peking from the west along five different ronds. The most northerly army started from Tatungfu and kept along the northwest railway. The main army under the personal supervision of the Governor of the province followed the line of the railway from the capital of the pro- {vince. "out" over the hills to the southwest to the railway junction- jat Shihchinchuang, where the main line from Hankow to the capital is reached. Between these two main forces three other armies took more direct routes to the capital by way of passes over the mountains which lie between Shansi and their goal. The campaign was arranged so| secretly and was started forth with such suddenness that the northern- ers were caught quite unprepared and they had to fall back before ROYAL the invaders. One of the armies arrived within 20 miles of Peking before it was checked.
