The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1900-11-04

there was such a scattering "a Hosiwu
never saw before or will see again. The Chinese
had been In . q Desperate hurry with their work.
but they were 10 a more desperate one TO get
away from II. and went 30 quickly and unani-
mously that very few were left behind and only
four or five fell into The hands OF the advance
guard. OF those left dead on the workings It
did not seem that any had been killed by the
japanese fire. but rather that they were all
coolies VINO had been killed by the Chinese
themselves because they did not work ra-, or
willingly enough,
orR TROOPS SOMEWHAT STALE.
just considered as a day this was q pretty
nne ono. The skv WINS clear. the sun was bright
and there was a fairly good breeze. But It was
hot As long as the road held to the top Of the
oL mud well there was some chance Tor the men
20 get a breath Of fresh air occasionally. but
when II dropped down into the cornfelds there
was no charc, OF any sort OF relief. II WAS Just
peg along in tie dust and frightful heat with
no telling when there would he water or rest.
Away in front the Japs were keeping up their
hdefatigable chase OF the Chinese. and all the
othors must keep M 70 their places. no matter
what the suffering. The Americans seem to BE-
especially lcbili'ated from thor long service in
the Philippines. somehow they haven't the old
time siav- with-'t that used TO distinguish their
work. II isn't a lack OF heart. for these are the
same men W. have seen d. all kinds II things
that required plenty OF that admirable quality.
II Is lust that they wear ont quickly. thev are
old and stale and can't endure as they oould a
year or 40 ago.
