The last five days marching was the
worst. 1t was a terrible Strain. The Their
mometer kept near 100. and was sometimes
above that figure. The country was deep
with sand. and the route lay through
shadeless fields Of TALL thin corn. The Jap
anese possessed the greater endurance and
being provided with the best transport,
they made the pace. The Russians held sec
ond place most of the time. The Americans
and English were pushed to the utmost to
keep up.
General Fukishima said the Japanese
might have reached Picking two days be-
fore. He probably spoke the truth. They
seemed never to rest. Their cavalry and
scouting parties were threshing the coun-
try ahead and on their TANKS and their
outposts kept in constant contact with the
enemy, pressing the latter so closely that
they threw away their pots. sleeping mats
and clothing.
Several hundred Americans dropped out
from the heat each day and came stray
Cling into camp this evening. Even the
native Indian troops suffered almost as
much. The army could be detracked by
dead horses. The soldiers drank contin-
ually from muddy rivers and wells by the
wayside. with the result that an epidemic
of dysentery set in. The Americans
marched during the hottest hours of the
day, causing great dissatisfaction among
the officers and men. who wished to move
in the cool of the morning and evening,
like the japanese and Russians But with
four armies following a single road, the
more enterprising got the right of way
and the others had to follow when they
could.
