At no time of the year is a trip over
the road from Tien-tsiu to lacking a
pleasant one. The distance is about
Su miles if one follows the groat high
way which skirts the banks of the Pei-
Ho. 'J'he railroad is another means of
communication and, of course, the
quickest and easiest, but unfortunately
the Chinese would not allow the allied
powers to send their armies to Peking
by rail. For only a short distance
above Tien tsin is the Pel-110 navigable
to" any but the most shallow river boats,
and the stream which circles to the
west is uo better.
It is true that troops might have been
marched along the elevated embank
ment of ttie railroad, but this route was
the one tried in Juno by Admiral Sey
mour, who was compelled to turn back.
So the highway seemed to present the
most practical route to Peking from
the sea. and it is along this path that
General Chaffee has been fighting bis
way in company with the English,
French, German, Russian and Japan
ese forces.
There are several which
the country between Tien tsin* and
Peking may present. These •auditions
depend upon the season of t*he year.
They are sill unattractive conditions.
During the early summer or dry season
the roads lie many inches deep
fine dust which powders everything in
sight and which would be disturbed
Bite a clicking cloud by an army m the
march.
About the middle of July the dry
season ends and the wet one begins.
Then come tile torrential rains. These
last for six weeks or so, and they
change the dusty roads into streams of
mud, while the adjacent plains are con
verted into marshes through which
flood, fed rivers cut their turbulent wajt
to the sea. Along in October winter sets
In with surprising promptness. The
marshes freeze over; snow falls
icy winds sweep the plains.
Just at this time of the year the road
to Peking is a muddy one. When the
soldiers get out of the mud they ;-At
into the water. In addition to the
floods, it is possible for the Chinese
to open the dikes on the banks of the
I’ei-110 and produce a thorough inunda
tion of tlic country. According to re
cent accounts they have done ibis, and
the only paths left open to the allied
forces were the great highway and the
railroad embankment.
The relief force under Admiral Sey
mour made tho characteristic British
mistake of taking the hardest way.
The country west of the I’ei-110 is full
of swift and treacherous streams, and
the whole plain is a big swamp. It
would he almost impossible to march
across it without opposition, yet the re
lief force started out across it over the
railroad whose destruction was known
to bo one of the main objectives of the
hostiles.
It was preposterous to suppose that
2,000 men cqukL, protect 80 miles of
railroad running tlYlougli anmnf.iciidiv
population of so
when the relief forces ■ Liang
Fang, half way between Peking and
Tien-tsin, they found the railroad
destroyed ahead of them, tlieir' com
munication cut In tlieir rear and them
selves literally smothered in the mass
of people about them.
The Chinese cart road from Tien
tsin to Peking follows the western;
,|iunk of the Pei-110 until a short dis-f
tauce below Tung-ebow, where it turns' 1
west to the capital. The proper route
for the relief force to have taken w<§
to go by bents up the river to Tuni
chow. Disembarking there, they wouSi \
only have hail to march 12 mfite i
west over easy ground to reach PekilK.!
If, however, the opposition was
strong or the fighting too severe^^
f IHE BRUNSWICK TIMES-CALL, AUGUST *l, I9to.
make the attempt in boats, then the
forces should have marched up the east
bank of the river, along which a low
hut continuous watershed runs; thus
for the whole march they would have
had the river between them and the
Boxers, who were busy tearing up the
railroad. „
A high embankment runs along both
sides of the river from Tien-tsin to
Chan-chia-wan. This embankment was
constructed to prevent the inundation
of the country during the rainy sea
sons, and as far as Yang-tsun the road
passes along this embankment. Up to
Matow the surrounding country is a
nearly level plain, witli rare hillocks to
break its momnony. Beyond Chan
chia-wan. becomes more
and more undPUng as the hills are
approached, forking up to the high
land to the wbst and north of the capi
tal. Beyond Chan-chia-wau and up to
Peking the country is cut by deep
ditches ajid hollow roads which are
Hounded-ou each side by steep banks,
the height of the 'banks increasing
with the amount of traffic over the
roads.
lu many cases the roads are Jrom 0
to IS feet deep and are generally im
passable in wet weather and-would he
dangerous lurking places for amftus
cades during tlie drier seasons. The
embanked roads up to Chan-eliia-wan,
likewise, form natural breastworks of
a formidable and extended nature.
At this season of the year, with tho
Pei-110 and its tributaries filled by the
freshets, it lias been no difficult task
for t lie Chinese to break through tlie
guarding embankments and to. flood
much of the surrounding county up to
Matow. To do away with the danger
of sueli places tho Chinese have main*
tained a system of sanity valves in the
way of overflows in several places
along tlie eastern bank of the Pei-Ho,
and through them the water is allowed
to flow iu great volumes into the coun
try beyond the right bank ascending.
These plages can ho closed readily, and
the outletmmde info tho territory over
which tl*e allied forces are marching
on tlieir way to Peking.
Official indifference to tho flooding
of the lands to tho eastward—on the'
other side of tlie Pei-Ho—has annually
led to destitution of the
populace iff this region. With the well
known Chinese official value of native
life, the extensioyof the misery and
loss in the name of defense would be
only too easily ju^fiable.
not lie t%gottea that it is
to plant the waterways wjit
just as it is possible to miiWi
Iff i- rjKl. over which the allied army
must make its way. This mining of
the road might not harmonize with tho
stricter ethics of modern warfare, hut
agrees perfectly with the Chinese no
tion of how things should he done.
Mining was actually so practiced dur
ing tlie war with Japan, especially
around the approaches to Peking.
The road, between Hose won and Ma
tow drop and had even in dry
weather, The rain only burning the
deep dust into so much mud. Were the
country Wpll wooded, it miuld not he
a hard task to build mil'iu4P roads,Juit
it is low and sandy and dorulil of any
thing generally but scrub.
Tliis limitation of route of advance
naturally narrows tlie front which the
allied army can .present to the enemy
'and exposes It to the higher danger
of being flanked by tho lighter eifuip
ped Chinese and (heir Tartar cavalry,
mounted on those speedy, enduring
little-Mongolian ponies.
Po it will he seen that die road to
Peking, besides being muddy, Is a very
‘difficult one. and I! is not to be won
dered at that the progress of tlie allied
forces has been slow.

Yes, August Fiower still has ' the

mothers never thought of using any
thing else for indigestion or bilious

seldom heard of apendieitis, nervous

used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of undi
gested food, regulate the- action of the

all they took when feeling dull and bad
