foers were among the killed hwy sV' ~
venge by ls'ng along the Chinese trenches
and cheerfully popping of all the wounded
lying there.
II was all over by $50 o'clock, and by 10 all
the troops had come up even with the Chinese
oamp aboye PeIt-sanQ and halted. The Chi
nese had left In such hurry that they had
not destroyed their very excellent pontoon
bridge. The Generals decided to camp for
tho nlght. and Gen Gascleo sent the Bengal
| Lancers on this afternoon 10 spy out the land
toward Yangtsun.
| started this out on the mud wall waiting for
the Tucker cart When IL came there was
brief season Of rest and rcfreshment just
now, in camp under the trees whore the Chinese
had their headquarters. we hear the Americans
sinRing hymns In their Y. NJ. G. A. prayer meet
ing. away up at one end Of the camp. Down at
the other end Russian band Is playing the
"Marsolllaise" and all the French are Joining In
The Russians gave up the plan of going up
| the left bank OF the river because there was TOO
much water. and all crossed behind the rest OF
US. That left the Chinese unmolested In their
| strong position between the river and the rail-
road; but whea the japanese had chased them
out on this side Of the river their left wing ran
fast enough without waiting 10 try conclusions
| with such an enemy squarely on their ilank.
So ends the first day orthe march TO Pefih.
