To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle There Is a largo number of honest voters who are In doubt as to their duty in the coming election because of ignorance as to the policy of the present administration relative to Porto Rico. Two of this class said to me yesterday: "The government has not done right by Porto Rico. I won't vote for a man who will make the Porto Ricans, who were our friends, pay 15 per cent, on their exports to the sugar trust." Such ignorance may seem hopeless, but is it strange that men believe what a man who is a candidate for the presidency of the United States states positively as the truth while we take so little trouble to publish exposition of the willful falsehood? It seems to be taken for granted that the application of the Porto Rican tariff is understood. It is not, however, and as a result many votes will be cast in opposition to the present administration. Please publish prominently and repeatedly the fact that this tariff works directly and solely In the interests of the Porto Ricans.

Please show how, in the absence of any system of taxation, this device secures for the Island schools and internal improvements. I am very sure that if you realized the belief entertained by a very large number of laboring men with whom I am associated and the probable effect of tneir delusion upon their vote, you would comply With am, an. with the request of a CONSTANT READER Brooklyn, November 1900. MBS. SWENTZEL'S DEATH.

Text of an Article in St. Luke's Register. St. Luke's Register, edited by the rector of St. Luke's P.

E. Church, the Rev. Dr. Henry C. Swentzel, contains the following concerning the death of Mrs.

Lillie Little Swentzel, who passed away at Newburyport, on September 27: "Mrs. Swentzel had submitted to niiht surgical operation which, she and her loved ohes were fully assured, would not be at all hazardous. The sorrowful result, unexpected by doctors and nurses and friends, was blood poisoning, heart failure, and the death of the patient. "Long ago she had exacted the promise that, after her death, her body should be interred in the burial place of her forefathers. She died in her birthplace, her funeral service was holden in the venerable parish church where she had been baptized and instructed and married, and her grave was made in the rural cemetery at West Newbury.

"While her funeral rites were celebrated at Newburyport, a similar service had been ordered by our St. Luke's vestry for the same hour In our parish church. This latter service was a token of appreciation, an offering of condolence, and an occasion of devout prayer for the peace and comfort of all who dwell in the rectory. The rector's pew was marked by abundant palms and roses and floral offerings, and the numerous memorials in the chancel would likewise tell of exquisite sentiments for the dead and the living. Our vested choir sang the music of the burial office.

"The rector accepts this opportunity to present his grateful acknowledgments for the many evidences of regard and sympathy which have poured in upon him and his family at this time. All that has come to them from almost countless friends since their season of bereavement is held to be most precious. More profoundly than ever before does the rector recognize and realize the nearness of his parishioners to his heart, and their latest unstinted goodness to him will stimulate him to resume his labors with a stouter heart and nobler ideals." I A MONTH'S MORTALITY. Official Record of Deaths in Greater Mew York for September. (Special to the Eagle.) Albany, November 5 The monthly bulletin of the State Board of Health, just issued for September, contains the following mortality statistics for that perrod relating to Greater New York and Long Island: a 3 3 Dry.

moist, scaly tetter, all forms of eczema cr salt rheum, pimples and other cutaneous eruptions proceed from humors, either inherited or acquired through defective digestion and assimilation. To treat these eruptions with drying medicines is dangerous. The thing to do is to help tho system discharge the humors and to strengthen the digestive and assimilative functions against their return. Hood's Sarsaparilla can be confidently relied upon to do that, according to thousands of voluntary testimonials. It effects radical and permanent cures.

"My little boy was born with eczema It affected him from head to foot. He suffered dreadfully. When two years old I gave him Hood's Sarsaparilla. I soon had faith in it. Two bottles cured him.

Now he Is the picture of health and his hair, which he lost, la heavy and beautiful." Mrs. JOHN W. HOWLETT, Morrisville, N. Y. Hood's Sarsaparilla is positively uneqtialcd the medicine for all humors.

Hood's Pills are the best cathartic. DID POET ARNOLD'S SON WORK MILLER'S SCHEME? His Services Eagerly Sought Bo cause He Made Such Good Investments. NOW HE'S IN A LONDON PRISON. Explains Disappearance by Saying Ho Came to America to Obtain Funds tor a Syndicate Enterprise. London.

November 5 At Bow street polica court to day, Julian Arnold, son of Sir Edwin Arnold, who had been extradited from. California, was remanded on the charsof misappropriating 14,000 of trust funds. He denied the charges. Julian Arnold, who is charged with embezzlement, sailed from Xew York for England on the Cunard Line steamer Umbria, October 2V. He was in charge of Scotland Yard detectives and was provided with second cabin accommodations.

Arnold, who. up to last May was a lawyer in London, was widely trusted as a solicitor and administrator of estates. He was particularly sought because of the high rate of interest which he was able to procure for investments, offering 6 per cent. Owing to tho prominence of his father, and his high social connections, it is alleged, special channels of investment were opened to him and he encountered little trouble in carrying on hia operations. In May last Arnold suddenly ceased paying the interest promised on money which he had invested.

An investigation into his business methods followed and it was shown that his scheme was aimilar to that operated by the Miller syndicate recently in Brooklyn. This, it is claimed, was to obtain moneys and invest them in mortgages that were practically worthless. When his' methods became known Arnold left London and made his way to San Francisco, where he was arrested by a United States officer, at the Grand Union Hotel. He denied that he. was an embezzler and claimed that his clients were familiar with his ln.

vestment plans. He made the following statement: "I was senior partner of the London solicitors, Keightly who failed last December. The strained money market, the Boer War and other causes led to the fail ure. The firm owned a large and valuable freehold and leases of old properties in London, worth about 300.000, and nearly equaling the debts. These properties were to ba syndicated, and I crossed the ocean to secure capital and clear off the debts.

I fully expected success, but this recall ends all opportunities offered here. I am unaware of the specific embezzlement charged, as I haven't heard from England. I haven't a particle of this client's (Jessie Buck, from whom he was charged to have embezzled property in use or control. I have waived all extradition proceedings and "wish to return immediately and answer all questions." ELECTION BETTJSNS. Something to Bear in Mind on the Night of November 6.

The following was recited this morning In the Girls' High School: The die is cast, the deed is done: Behind barred gates the count goes on. Presses are ready, lightnings wait.

BunudJU Notable Features of the Closing Says of the Campaign The Money Argument as Presented in Saturday's Great Parade A. Hint as to How Campaign Funds Are to Be Used A low Moral Tone in Politics Thanks Due to the Eagle.

It is not likely that anything which may now be written or said will materially influence the decision voters who, to morrow, are to pass judgment upon questions affecting the happiness and welfare of millions of American men and women and the millions of dark hued men and women constituting the population of our Oriental dependencies. The people have made up their minds as to how they shall vote. At this final stage of the presidential campaign but little remains for the political writer to say beyond noting here and there the most prominent features of the contest as the contending armies line up on the eve of the final battle which is to decide the question of supremacy. It is true that he can join the ranks of the political prophets and forecast results in a way to bring cheer to the hearts of the cause he has espoused, but this the writer of these lines will not do. He has earnestly and conscientiously endeavored to do what he has considered to' be his duty, according to his best lights, and is content to leave results to that Supreme power whose will no man has authority to forecast.

All that he will say concerning predictions is summed up in the statement that William Jennings Bryan, ex Governor David B. Hill, Bourke Cockran and many other experienced Democratic leaders are confident that the next President will be a Democrat, Independent of the aid of New York State. The McKinley parade In New York, on Saturday last, made plain beyond all cavil that the Republican candidate for President bases his claim to re election upon an ap peal to the pocket book rather than to the conscience. All of the great money kings were represented by their legions in the parade, and one motto proudly carried in the procession, epitomized all of the arguments and appeals made in behalf of the Republi can candidate. The hope of Mr.

McKinley's triumph Is based solely upon the sentiment expressed in this motto, which recoived the following scant notice from an evening paper: The Clothiers' Legion, of which Heller was marshal, carried a banner with this inscription: IN GOLD WE TRUST. This parodying of "In God we trust" called forth considerable unfavorable comment. There were other features of the parade Illustrative of the new tone adopted by Republicans in contradistinction with the moral slogans of the Republicanism of Lincoln's days. For instance, the New York Times, says in its news report of the parade: "The Columbia University students, next to the miners, were most appreciated by the crowd In general. The crowd expected much from a lot of young fellows bubbling over with vim and 'tubas There was no disappointment In this.

Among other things the students had decided on playing their own band. 'Ice' and 'Four Years More, however, were too tame for them. Therefore they decided on a little private tune, and 'To hell! to hell! to hell with Tammany Hall I' was the burden of tholr eons' from Wall street to Twenty third street, and wherever It was heard there was laughter." It is not strange that some young men should indulge in the unseemly cries which the Times notes, when we recall the fact that all through this campaign Republican orators have asserted, again and again, that this nation is doing God's work in the Philippines; have thrown upon the Supreme Being the responsibility for everything outrageously done in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Sulu Archipelago. And it the tone of young Republicanism jars upon the sensitive nerves of the religious cit izen He must look over the heads of these young students to find the source from which they have drawn inspiration. It was but a few days ago that a gray haired Bishop used language even more reprehensible than the cries of the Columbia students language which if used by a Crokcr would have called forth columns of righteous editorial rebukes, and shocked our clergymen and churchmen beyond measure.

But the pulpits have remained silent and the editorial columns are dumb. True, this bishop has declared that he was misquoted, yet in making his correction, he practically repeats the shocking language credited to him by a Sun reporter, and that paper, while printing the Bishop's latest version of his remarks, does not admit that Its representative was at fault. Here is the strange correction as printed by the Sun: Trenton, N. November 1 A press dispatch from New York dees an injustice to Bishop C. H.

Fowler of the Methodist Episcopal Church, as to what he said at a Republican meeting there. He is In this city attending the bishop's semi annual meeting, nnd he said to night that he was misquoted In the dispatch. He Is represented as saying: "Shall we have Bryan elected? No, a thousand times no. I'd rather go to sea with a boat of stone, with sails of lead, with oars of Iron, with the wrath of God as a gale and hell for a pert." Tho Bishop said he made no reference to Mr. Bryan in connection with "a boat of stone," etc.

He was speaking of Imperialism and its absurdity. His exact words, as given by himself, were as follows: "Imperialism Is absurd. The President resist tho people? As Emory Storrs said about Andrew Johnson's resisting the people, 1 would nay rather than resist the people I would go to sea Ir. a boat of stone with sails of lead, with oars of Iron, with the wrath of God as a gale and hell for the nearest port." The campaign closes on the Democratic side this presidential contest with the assur ance from Mr. Bryan that he has won the fight, and with the declaration from the man agers of his campaign that great frauds are intended by Republicans.

For one, I have never believed that the great masses of the people could be corrupted. I believe that a great moral principle is always stronger before the American people than all the treas ures of combined wealth. But the Hayes Tilden contest did demonstrate the fact that while the poople were honest those who were sworn to protect their Interests at the ballot box could be and were corrupted. History may repeat Itself, and the following dispatch to the New York World (a paper which has steadily declined to come out for Bryan), may Indicate the use to which the greatest campaign fund ever raised In this country may be'put: Indianapolis. November 4 William H.

Evans, custodian of the Commercial Club and a prominent Republican, was arrestod to night nnd put In Jail, charged with attempting to corrupt George F. Kuhn, Democratic Judge in the First Precinct of the Tenth Ward. Evans. It Is charged, offered him S50 to count twenty five Democratic votes for the Republicans. Warrants are out for five other Republicans.

Democratic managers say this rascality has been discovered 11 over Indiana. The close of tho campaign is notable for another reason, because of the promise that the use to which Hanna's enormous campaign fund is to be put will bo investigated. Mr. C. Hughes, secretary treasurer of the National Association of Anti Imperialist Clubs, says: "The Executive Committee of the association has decided to limit the work of.

Funuttl private. of C. purpose of buying up the officials who count the ballots, to ascertain all cases where Re publican election officials count Democratic votes for the Republican candidates, and to take such legal action as may be warranted by the laws now In existence, and in case there are no laws governing the matter, to frame and urge the passage of laws that will reach the briber as well as the bribed. "This committee's work would be absolutely non partisan, and It calls attention to the fact that In case of Mr. Bryan's election, if history repeats itself, four years from now a similar campaign corruption fund now con trolled by the Republican National Committee will be offered to the Democratic National Committee, for the reason that the moneyed interests that contribute to national campaign funds make such contributions for business reasons, and it is simply a question of supporting the dominant party for the sake of getting pledges in advance for special privileges to be delivered after election.

"It is an open secret that the moneys collected from business men, who in their business are above reproach, are used by the dominant national party committee for crimi nal purposes. I merely wish to state as a matter opinion that it Is my conviction that there will have to be steps taken to check this growing evil of purchasing national elections. I fail to see what use there is In 15, 000,000 citizen voters being dragged through a two months' political campaign if the dominant party, with its big campaign fund, has bought up in advance all the labor leaders and sufficient of the election officials and a sufficient number of the purchasable voters, to thus artificially change the legitimate result of the election. "The National Association of Anti Imperialist Clubs, with Its 700,000 members, will co operate with the National Association of Democratic Clubs, with which latter association it is affiliated, for the purpose of watch ing the polls and reporting all cases of illegal registration and illegal voting, to the National Association of Democratic Clubs. "The Legal Advisory Board of the National Association of Anti Imperialist Clubs is made up as follows: Hon.

Judson Harmon, Cincinnati, Attorney General under ex President Cleveland's administration, chairman: Aus ten G. Pox, New York City, secretary; Edward M. Shepard, Brooklyn; F. W. Ilinrlchs, Brooklyn; Herbert P.

The following letter from an esteeircd citizen of this community, an intense but not narrow minded Republican, is entitle to a place in this column as a matter of justice to all concerned: 1,237 Dean Street. My dear Mul. In your column in the Knijle ona day last week you charged a Mr. Jesse A. Gregg with saying that If he knew one of his men to vote for Bryan he would discharge him on the spot.

That you believed what you said abc Gregg I have no doubt, for I have known 1 think. about thirty years, and never knew ccullty of a single dishonorable act. For my part. I did not believe the Gregg story, nor one half that each party says about the other. I wrote Mr.

and asked him to telegxapn me the facts, sending him. of course, your column in the Eagle. Here Is the answer, and I shall rely on your well known love of fair play and honest journalism to publish this to morrow evening. Sin cerely yours. JOHN W.

HARMAN. November 4. 1000. The telegram forwarded to the writer by Mr. Harman reads as follows: St.

Paul, November 3, 1900. J. W. Harman, Union League Club, Brooklyn: No truth In the statement. Never have, never will question employes' right to vote as their con science may dictate.

JESSE A. GREGG. The statement credited to Mr. Gregg was taken from a speech mane by him in st. Paul and printed in the St.

Paul Globe, a McKinley paper. I have not seen any de nial from Mr. Gregg printed in any newspaper. If it be really true that he believes employes should be permitted to vote as their consciences may dictate, it is regret table that he did not come to Brooklyn and Manhattan Island to advance these views. Ho would have been heartily welcomed by hundreds of men who marched In the Mc Kinley parade last Saturday.

A few words in conclusion: In his humble contributions to the controversy so soon to be ended, the writer desires to make public acknowledgment of the broad gauge, courteous and generous treatment accorded to him by the proprietors of the Eagle. Ho has been permitted to write freely, and per haps at times too warmly, to present and de fend the cause for which Democracy stands in this campaign the cause of the plain people. as the writer understands it and he has done this although his vlewa are widely divergent from the views of the management. The Editor of this paper has not once exercised his right to suppress or change even a single sentence which the writer has deemed necessary to the full presentation of his case. To others, to Republicans whom he es teemed for the honesty of their beliefs and the integrity of their characters, although they have differed strongly with the writer and have not done so discourteously, "Mul" returns his thanks for the forbearance with which they have received his views.

As to his critics of another type well, they have simply stimulated him to fresh efforts, and none of their acrid, bitter criticisms has left sting. Finally: What has been said in this column has not been said with any view to exploiting real or fancied skill, to win applause or to wantonly wound those with whom the writer has differed and will continue to differ. He has availed himself of every opportunity to speak for the cause of the common people, following rather the dictates of his conscience than those lights which might have led to the advancement of his material interests. It is possible that he has been wrong; who shall claim infallibility? But, whatever the verdict of tho American people may be to morrow, "Mul" will have no heart burnings, no regrets, for, as one standing In the presence of his Maker, the writer reaffirms his belief that his feeble efforts have fceen In the interest of justice, truth and. struggling humanity.

MUL. "MUL'S" CBITICS CRITICISED. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: "Whom the Gods would destroy they iirot make mad." The authors of the three letters in Wednesday evening's edition of the Eagle criticising "Mul" go to show conclusively that they are mad all through, suffering from a mild form of dementia. It is not dangerous or contagious. They imagine that the only cure for their malady Is the suppression of "Mul" andhis letters by the Eagle.

Does it ever dawn upon the mind of "Mul's" critics that seven out of ten of the readers of the Eagle are Democrats who are supporting Bryan in this campaign, and thousands like myself for over thirty years. We don't And fault with the attitude the Eagle has taken this political campaign, although wo don't npprove of it. Tho writer of this, with thou 5ands of other old dyed in the wool Demo crats, readers of the Eagle, takes groat Interest and great pleasure in the reading of "Mul's" able and instructive communications. And are more than pleased that the Eagle has not succumbed to the loud clamor of "Mul's" critics for the suppression of those able letters. The writer don't know "Mul" and has never seen him.

Nevertheless let me con gratulate him through tho Brooklyn Eagle his manly courage and above all for his sturdy Democracy. JOHN D'ANAHER. Brooklyn, November tuoo. i at of of of she the the lu here, each regiment having its own coolie gang, who perform all camp labor. This is made necessary, however, by the fact that the Indian regiments are composed of high caste men.

The ranks of the "cavalry regiments are filled with blood relatives of rajahs and princes and these men are never called upon for camp labor. They are fighting men essentially and it is almost safe to say that every enlisted man in the Sixteenth Bengals and the Bombays has his own servant and groom. In size, rank and file, soldierly appearance and good marching, there is nothing heard but praise for the American troops. The camps are well policed, the men well behaved and there has been an absolute absence of rowdyism. All the armies now have the situation pretty well in hand as far as winter supplies are concerned and every effort is being made to push forward preparations tor the rigorous weather to which the troops will be exposed.

Wherever possible the British, Japanese and European troops are being quartered in houses. There is not a foot of roofage now vacant in the city. Every house has been commandered or rented and rents for private dwellings have advanced 100 per cent. The large compounds, or walled grounds, which usually surround dwellings in the East, are all occupied as camps. These quarters are much sought after as the thick brick walls, often fifteen feet high, form wind breaks and are also utilized as one wall of a barracks, timber and matting roofs being constructed on the inner side.

In none of the concessions is property allowed to be rented or sold without the consent of the military authorities of the respective nations. King of Corea Sends a Gift to the Allies. Tongku, China, Nov. .2 A gift of a large quantity of flour, rice nnd tobacco from the King of Corea to the allied forces has arrived here and been forwarded to Tientsin for distribution. The present was accompanied by a letter from his majesty expressing his friendship and good will to the allies and begging them to accept the supplies.

There were in all 3.11G sacks of flour, 986 sacks of rice and 000 boxes of cigarettes, which have been apportioned among the respective troops. The share of the Americans has been forwarded to the men at Peking. The gift caused considerable comment here, especially in view ot the fact that the letter from the Corean ruler ly requested that the supplies be equally distributed among the forces. This naturally includes the Japanese. The cigarettes are much sought after as souvenirs.

"I think you gentlemen had betler remember that all we have to do with this case is the specific charge of disorderly conduct charged against Mr. and Mrs. Long," said Magistrate Brenner, in the Adams street court thl3 morning. "We have nothing do with anything else and I do not want to hear anything about the pictures." I'Very well," said Lawyer Colvin and Mr.

William Long, in chorus. Mr. Long was the defendant with his wife, and they were charged with having struck and kicked John C. Osborn at his area gate at 144 Lawrence street, the other day. Mr.

Long will vote for McKinley to morrow and he has in his window at 144 Lawrence street a very nice lithograph of the Republican presidential candidates. Mr. Osborn als has lithographs of his choice for president and vice president, Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson.

He claims that since he put the pictures of the Democratic candidates in his window the juvenile Republican sympathizer have pelted his area with decayed vegetables. It was to insure peace that he went to Mr. Long, next door, the other night to remonstrate, for he claimed that a small boy who lived there was the anti Bryan ringleader. His remonstran i ces resulted in a tremendous fuss and Mr. anil Mrs.

Long punched him and threw him to the sidewalk, using the flagstones to wear the nap from one of his best coats. The charge in court was not really one of assault, but disorderly conduct. Mr. and Mrs. Long were there without counsel or friends, while Mr.

Osborn had a lawyer and a lot of the neighbors to back up his part of the story. Mrs. Long was asked if she had anything to say. "This complainant," explained the magistrate, reading from the complaint, "says that you assaulted Mr. Osborn without just cause or provocation." "Indeed we had plenty of provocation." re plied Mrs.

Long, after she had taken the oath. "He came to the house in an awlul passion and said that he had as much right to have a Bryan picture in the window as wo had to have Mr. McKinley's. Then he talked awhile in a very angry way and Anally he went out of the house. He struck me in the side aad then I may have struck him.

But I did not kick him." "I'll fine you Sr for this. Mr. Long." decided the magistrate, "and Mrs. Long. I'll have to put you under bonds to keep the peace." Long paid his $5 to Clerk Chambers and got a frond for his wife.

During these proceedings Mr. Osborn. his wife and his friends left the court triumphant. HEW BKOOKLYU INDUSTRIES. Recently Granted Charters at Albany by the Secretary of State.

JAPANESE MOST INTERESTING. Most Picturesque Troops Are Native Regiments Erom India Each Private Is Attended by a Valet. Tientsin, China, October 1 With troops of eight nations and every branch of service elbow to elhow under actual field conditions both Peking and Tientsin at present afford a rich field of comparative military observation of which the officers of the various forces are taking keen advantage. This is especially noticeable of the Continental forces, whose staffs are everywhere taking note of equip ments and methods. There are now quartered in this big camp what are said to be representative contingents of every mili tary power.

It is a military congress as complete as if divided only for display and the contrast between the forces is very marked, both in equipment, method and discipline, yet at the same time observing officers find little room for criticism of any particular contingent of the Chiuese expeditionary force. In equipment and uniform there is apparently little question that the American and British troops are superior. The sober, business like khaki is in strong contrast to the showy French and Italian uniforms, while the Germans, otherwise a magnificent and picked body of men, are handicapped in comparison by their ill fitting clothing. The German uniform is a mustard yellow khaki. apparently of very inferior quality.

The blouse is long and loose, without pockets, tho trousers loose and no leggings are worn by the infantry. This is completed with a wide brimmed straw hat, such as is seen in the Southern part of the states, turned up at the side and fastened with a corps badge. One almost overlooks the awkwardness of the uniform, however, in the splendid drill and discipline of the Kaiser's Chinese army, while their field equipment, though a bit heavy, is well up to date and compares favorably with that of any other force. By far the most picturesque troops here are the British native regiments from India. At present Great Britain has no white troops here except a part of the Royal Welsh Pusi leers, dearly known in England as the "Duke of Connaught's Own." and a battalion of Australian volunteer naval reserves.

The show of Tientsin is the Sixteenth Bengal Lancers, the "gentlemen regiment of India," out on parade. Magnificently mounted on country breds, superb riders, equipment as perfect as care can make It, with lance pennons fluttering the Sixteenth is a regiment any nation could feel proud of. The Indian cavalry are probably the heaviest armed mounted troops in the world. Each man carries the long heavy lance, revolver, carbine and heavy sabre. The uniform is khaki, the blouse tight at the belt, loose cord trousers, russet leather leggings and the inevitable turban.

The Bombay Lancers are not Inferior and the foot regiments, which Include the Rajputs, the Punjabs, and the Beloochistans make a splendid appear ance, the men being tall and slender and carrying themselves superbly. The Japanese are, however, probably the most interesting studies for the military men here. One loses sight of tho rather Blouchy white canvas uniforms and French' high crowned caps in the machine like drill and discipline of the Mikado's men. In discipline they are easily ahead of practically all the other forces. The Japanese soldier works as none other does.

He is always busy, he does not drink and he is not in evidence on the streets. Detachments of the little white clad chaps are always on the move. Wherever one goes in the surrounding country for many miles out he finds a Japanese outpost, their field topographical parties are always busy, and their commissary and quartermaster's departments are wonderfully active and complete. Many officers have found much to admire in their transport system. There are no great bales or boxes in the Japanese supplies.

Everything is put up in compact matting bound bundles, none too neavy lor one man to handle and the result is expedition. It Is the general opinion of observers that the Jananese soldier is the busiest, the quietest, the best disciplined man in the allied armies. The big German camp, which occupies the grounds and buildings formerly used by the American troops, lying east of the foreign concession, is easily the model of all the camps about Tientsin. It has attracted much attention and nothing but favorable comment is heard. The Germans have a scheme for use of the shelter tent which is considered to be ideal for warm weather.

The pieces of canvas of an entire company are lashed together and erected in the Shane of a shed without partitions. It is practically a roof and rear wall, and Is usually erected in the shape of two sides of a square, tho walls being to the north and west. The Ger man cooking equipment is complete in every detail, and they have a wonderful outfit of wagons and transport, mere are new designs in field ambulances, very narrow and springy, wagonettes for general officers, field post wagons and nearly every sort of vehicle an army can need. In variety nnd completeness of outfit the German representation is beyond comparison with any other force here. The question of transport is naturally the most Interesting to military observers and in this connection the British have come in for much praise.

As organized the British forces in China have the most effective field transport for the character of campaiKiiing they are called upon to perform. Each company Is complete with its own pack train, from which it is not soparated. Stout little Indian mules, not much larger than donkeys, curry all supplies and so far the British troops have not. suffered for lack of supplies in any of the marches the allies have made. The same cannot be said of the other armies.

In common with the Japanese the Brutish employ a lnrge number of coolies. In fact, they have the largest non combatant force 5.214 1971 iuS7 2.779 16.S 1,191 328 22.
