Of all the troops in China the greatest contrast between conduct on the field and off it was shown by the Hussions Off the field they were a lawless gang of marauders. They would loot from th<*fr enemies, and they did not have the Intel ligence to discriminate in the quality and clast* of their loot. They struggle.! to lug off huge but worthless thing*, and 1* small and valuable lot go for another time. They were brutal beyond belief and would dash out the brains of a lit tle girl on the paving blocks as readily as they would smoke cigarettes. But on the held they were reckless of their own lives and obedlem to orders. The Itus sians will fight. They arc heavy nd slow and clumsy.

When our Marine* start ed with some Russians to relieve Tten Tsln. In the Utter part of June, and the column met resistance which compelled It to retire, twenty-two Russians wer* posted on a little rise of ground to cover the retirement of the Americans. They did It. but every men of them was killed. Their behavior at the railroad station In Tien Tsln was brave In the extreme and there I* no doubt that they saved the settlement* from destruction by the Box ers. In this willingness to stay where ther are pul the Russians are as good as. If not better than the Jajanese. hut thetr work In the attack* on Tien Tsln city showed them to be much slower than the Japanese, more uncertain end lass' effec tlv*. In attack th* Japan*** greatly ax* oelled the Russian*, although they de veloped a liking for direct frontal attack oa Strontgly enrrenrhed position* which I* hardly commsndeble. Up to the time of th* relief of Pekin t&e Oermans bad no land forces la China, nnd they sent no nun with the re'le* column. Neither did Fie Italians or Aus trians. though all three we.%* repreeeiiusj at Tien Tsin by their snilormen and ma rines. The French had a considerable for o of their Tonquin troop* at Tien Tain and started about w. of them with # the column for Pekin. By every consider ation they were the worst troops In the whole movement. They were iawleaa an l undisciplined, brutal, savage, filthy anl cowardly. Th*lr quarters were an of fense to heaven and their conduct was worse. On the night when the Boxer* made their last nnd most determined tt tack on the railroad station a? Tien Tsin the French carted to run l*< k to their quarters, but at the bridge over the riv r. they found themselves exposed to the nre of the Chinese, and huddled behind a 1 stone wall until the Japanese and British settled the Boxers. It Is but fair to say that these troops were not of the regular French army, but such as they w. re. i they made a sorry showing. Altogether th* ex|H*riem e wo* very In structive to the Americans. The light at Tien Tsin developed the fact thoi we are the only people who have no arrange ment for *• ruling water or ammunition to our men on the firing line.
