nese and Americans confirm this view. Ihe
comment is made that European officers are too
attached to book theories utilize the resources
Of the country. and that they would rather

General Dorward. Of the British forces, and
other high officers take optimistic view OF
conditions at Peking saying that they think the
legations will manage to hold out.
On the surface the best OF feeling prevails
among officers and soldiers of the several ma
tions represented here. All are fraternizng, but
the lack of organization and a supreme COM
mander handicaps progress. While people at
Tien-Tsin entirely ignorant Of diplomatic
negotiations abroad concerning Chinese affairs
the lack of harmony here among the representa-
tives Of the Powers hinders vigorous action
The Japanese are giving a splendid exhibition
of organization. Their whole machine moves
like clockwork There have been forwarded
from Japan small boats or lighters for moving
troops and stores, and every regiment is landed
quickly and without confusion and started for
Tien-Tsin within a few hours after the trans
port has anchored in the harbor. The manage
ment of the Japanese army and the bravery
spirit and intelligence of the Japanese troops
are revelations which command the respect and
admiration Of all foreign officers.
The heat is intense. The temperature aver

it was 104 degrees
The disregard of all sanitary regulations oy
certain troops is a serious menace. The streets

compares unfavorably with the American order

On Thursday morning, De.

spirit OF Arthur Woody took
it's flight to the 'land elys

only five davs.
He was born in Ashe coun.

was visiting his brother and

Arthur was a faithful friend
a true, kind brother and an
ardent and affprtinnate son
Fe was lovedhva!l who knew
him, and his circle of friends
was large. Hence his death
brought Il pail of SORROW mp.
on the whole community.
He was ambitious to he
something in the world and
to accomplish something. rs
is evidenced by The beautiful
cbararte" h. Lad formed and
by his efforts to acquire an
education and the success he
had achieved.
He was preparing himself
for 4 teacher. and, without
doubt, would have made an
eminent success in that pro.
fnssiOn. His first school would
have commenced with the
New Year.
He will be sOrel,y missed Ivy

he was so bright n light.
Before he died he asked the
friends gathered around his
bed side to sing a sacred
song. TO day he is "singing
with the angels" His praV Y,

doeth all things wel!.'
Farewell, dear Arthur, "un

His remains were carried to
his home for burial to await
the glorious resurrection.
