New York, July q. Competent judges
believe that campaigning in North China
by European and American troops will in
volve greater hardships than occidental
troops have ever been called upon to en-
dure.
The early part OF the summer about
Pekin is usually dry and hot, and the
last eight or ten weeks have proved no
exception to the general rule. But, begio-
ming about the middle of July, torrential
rains, which flood the entire plain about
China's capital and all but stop the traf-
fic across it, morally prevail for a short
season. This period of heavy rains is &C
companied by high winds, which, some
tines, are very destructive, while along
the coast dense fogs are the rule, the at
mosphere being heavily charged with hui
