I ■■ Soldiers Find Scaling 10-Foot Wall ‘Some Job’ 17TH BOYS SET RECORD Stunt Is More Than Mere Mili tary Tactic—lt’s a Real Athletic Feat. When the army of the allied powers battered its way from Tien Tsin during the Boxer rebellion just in time to re lieve the beleaguered legations in Pe kin it was the of the enemy and not their bullets that proved most trou blesome. And the careful training of the troops of the American contingent on this lit tle art of warfare known as “wall seal ing" gave the American soldiers the first call. As they will tell you at Fort Mc- Pherson. where a squad of eight men from Company E recently lowered what is claimed to be the army record for scaling, this job of eight men getting over a ten or twelve-foot wall in about the same time that it takes one man to run 220 yards is more than a mere military tactic. It is an athletic feat, timed and oiled to go like clockwork. At the quarterly field meet of the Sevententh Infantry at Fort McPht r son last Friday, thirteen teams, one from each company and one from the regimental detachment, competed in a wall-scaling contest. Company E was returned a victor in the remarkably fast time of 22 2-5 seconds. This, it is claimed, is throe-fifths of a second faster than the best time herteofore made by an army team. According to | the dope, the former record was held by a team from the Eleventh cavalry, Fort Oglethorpe. Dodge, Ga. For eight grown men, fully equipped, to go over a ten-fool wall in little more than 22 seconds is no child's play. It takes team work as well as speed. From the standpoint of an eyewitness, it is spectacular. From the standpoint of the men, it is seven kinds of work. Here is the way it is done, according to the descriptions furnished by an ex pert. The squad of eight is divided in two ranks, front and rear. The ranks are numbered from the right facing the wall—that is, one, two, three and four front and rear rank. The four In the rear rank go over the v. all first, boosted by the four of the front rank.! Then soldiers numbered three and four of the front rank push one and two of the same rank over. Then four lifts number three up ami left alone on the ground before the wall four of the front rank takes a running Jump, catching a rifle swung between two and three of the same rank, and is pulled over. Up and Down Peachtree He Had Experience Blowing His Own Horn. It happened at a Sunday afternoon barbecue given to a bunch of friends by an Atlantan who has had his share of publicity and a little bit more in the past few years. There was plenty of barbecue and all the liquids which go with it. And there was a hunting horn fashioned from the frontal orna ment of a steer which all the guests tried to blow after dinner. Now! coaxing a tallyho from a steer’s horn isn't a gift possessed by every city man and none of the would-be musicians brought forth anything more than a grunt. Then the host spoke up; spake he: Give me that horn. I'll show’ you.” He blew, lustily, and there floated over the hills and dales the sweet, melancholy note which set all the hounds within a mile to baying. “There now," said the host. “How’s that?" “Good," chorused the guests. “But we knew it. There's no man in Atlanta who's had more experience in blowing his own horn.” And then they filled ’em up again. Still Those Who Think City Hall Is Postoftice. A man walked into the office of Wai. ter Taylor, city clerk, shoved two pen nies through the ticket window and spoke impatiently. "Gimme a two-cent stamp," he de ni,i tided. "Uertainly," quoth Walter, and he dug into his desk, shoved over a stamp and passed the pennies back. "No charge." he remarked sweetly, •i >v s that ' r< turned the customer Ain't this the postoftice?” Then Mr. Taylor explained, as he has done oft before, that Uncle Sain moved out more than a year ago nmi the city of Atlanta moved in; that the former postoffice is now city hall, and the i-al postoffice is a block up the street in a large marble building. ■ » Taverage about three a day,” . said Mt . Taylor afterward. "They come in looking for Judge Newman, wanting to se> the postmaster, anxious to pur chase iimney orders. A foreigner with diamonds all over him blew in a day or two ago and wanted to to be natural ized 1 told him we could vaccinate him ' or give him a dog license, but neither these ecmed to suit and he went away peeved," CHINESE TROOPS' UNIFORM 0. S. UNOEomn Atlantan, Just Returned From the Orient, Tells Interesting Story of New Republic. Two regiments of Chinese soldiers, garbed in uniforms composed entirely of American-made suits of underwear, were among the strange sights seen recently by D. H. Kirkland, of the J. K. Orr Shoe Company, who has returned to Atlanta from a visit to the Orient. The soldiers were patrolling the streets of old Canton to preserve order, and while their uni form may have been humorous to Ameri can eyes there wasn't anything funny about the methods of the soldiery. Mr. Kirkland, the first Atlantan to re turn from China since the fall of the Manchu dynasty and the establishment of the republic, tells an interesting story of affairs there. "When we arrived at Hong Kong," said Mr. Kirkland, "we were advised by both the American and British consuls there not to attempt to go into the interior of China, or even to Canton, which is about 150 miles up the Pearl river from that port, and a night's ride by boat. We were assured, however, by the friendly attitude of the Chinese and made the trip. Much to our surprise, everywhere we were treated with the greatest considera tion, and even the provisional governor of Canton dined with us and afterward made a talk of welcome, paying a fine tribute to the United States, which he termed ‘China's friend.' Wild With Enthusiasm. “There was plenty of evidence of war, and the governor gave us a detachment of soldiers to show us about the city. The city was wild with enthusiasm for the new republic, Canton having been one of the first cities to surrender to the revo lutionaries. The real fighting while we were there was in the north, where the soldiers were pushing their way toward Peking. "There were two regiments of Chinese at Canton, dressed exclusively in Ameri can suits of underwear. The climate, however, is warm, and they don't suf fer. These regiments are bomb regiments, using only explosive bombs In their fight ing. They were armed with sticks in pa trolling the city to keep order. "There tvere no queues in evidence, for all had been shorn by the natives as an evidence of their loyalty to the revolution; in fact, the appearance of a Chinaman with a queue was sufficient invitation for his murder without scruple. “We also were advised before leaving Hong Kong that pirates infest the river, and that execution of pirates is almost a daily occurrence. In fact, it was hinted that by judicious 'seeing' of certain of ficials, an execution of one of the poor wretches awaiting death in jail, might be arranged for the pleasure of our party. It so happened, however, that there were no pirates in jail when we arrived, due. no doubt, to the war troubles of the country. China Friendly to U. S. "China Is a great nation, and with her friendly feeling for this country, should eventually prove a mignificent market for our merchandise. "You don’t need to worry about Japan going to war with us. The country is miserably poor, because of the burden of taxation. The income tax over there ranges from 15% on SSO to 25% on $12,000 and upward on incomes. It is true that the Japs, who get very low wages in their native country, look with envious eyes upon the wages of $2 to $2.50 a day for common labor on the Pacific coast, and they are anxious to come over here and earn some of it. This, of course, makes a lot of bad feeling against us for our ex clusion laws, but it is not going to run into a war. "While in Yokohama I met M. W. Mc- Ivor, who was the Chinese protectorate during the Chino-Japanese war. "He has a very prosperous law practice there and is also engaged in other lines of business. He says that Japan offers big opportunities for American trade.” Mr. Kirkland ate his Thanksgiving din ner on a steamer on the Ganges river in India, where he visited the holy city of Benares, saw the Taj Mahal at Agra, India, and attended the Durbar at Delhi, India. Durbar Wonderful Spectacle. It was in early December Mr. Kirkland reached India, of which he says: "I visited Delhi, which was then tha city of tents and known officially as tha coronation Durbar camp, with its beauti ful boulevards and its architectural won ders. Only a few months previous this ephemeral town, then occupied by- the camps, was cultivated agricultural land, converted into miles and miles of well bordered roads with picturesque groups of pavilions and tents, neatly laid out parks, magnificent triumphal arches and carved gateways. Nothing like it ever could have existed anywhere in the world. The Cur zon Durbar, I have been told, was merely a sort of dress rehearsal for it. The in ternal organization governing the life of the community inhabiting that wonderful city of a few weeks was perfect, so ad mirably designed and carried out. The postal service was as complete and rapid as one could wish in any modern, civil ized city. There were postoffices, tele graph offices and telephones in every quarter Each camp had its own inquiry office and bureau of information and rail ways. The guests in the official camps were all provided with motor /‘ars. "On the way through the/.ava seas a Mrs. Hull, of Grand Rapids, Jaich., a pas senger on my steamer, committed suicide by leaping overboard. A young man. Mar cus Jordan, of Washington, D. C., leaped overboard after her, but the woi»an drowned before she was rescued. The passengers presented Jordan with a gold watch for his heroism."
