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.
