A whole company of dark-hued Punjabis in brown turbana were engaged, at one point along the Hangchow-Ningpo railway, a few yards from the Great Western Road, erecting a high machine-gun post which dominates the surround- and ing country,

At Jessfield the scene was like that in one of the larger bases in France at the height of the great war, for it is here that the majority of the British troops are now billeted in yellow straw hutrients. Sentries marched to and fro, blue- uniformed Chinese police directed motor-lorries filled with equipment, rations, which munitions, and streamed in and out of the gates.
