The Newchwaug correspondent Of the
China Times, writing on the 11th ait,
says:
The fact that a refuge for wounded
and homeless Chinese had been est1b.
lished i'm Liaoyang has been known
for some time. Could the walls of that
refuge speak. what a tale they would
unfold! Writing on the 3Oth August
DR.. Westwater tells of wounded men
and women, who having been kindly
bandaged by the Russians, cr8wled in-
to the city. the name of whose refuge
and hospice had gone abroad. In the
refuge the womens room was a sight
TO behold, with infants and little
BARNS. "I have forty babies on my
hands" wrote the doctor: ana he add
ed, "What I shall do tomorrow I don't
know" I am not surprised at the re-
mark,
The state Of the wounded was too
horrible for words as covered with
blood and SCOT and debris of the kans
they focked into the compound. Since
then this stream of wounded humanity
has continued to pour in. on the 18TH
September the refuge had overlooked
it's walls and numbered among it's i'm
mates $3.50 women and children, while
i'm the hospital 27O wounded We're being
tended.
on Saturday. September 10th, Cen
aral Fullushima called on DR.. West
water and accompanied him to the
hospital and refuge. He was deeply
interested and thanked him cordially
for all he had done, and expressed his
regret that so much distress had been
caused to the Chinese during the re-
cent operations. He along with his
Surgeon General carefully inspected
both institutions and offered any as
sistance in his power The following
day he repeated his visit, enquiring
for the wounded in the name of the
Commander Chief, and also convey
ing from him a donation of $1,000 to-
wards the hospital funds. This gift
was announced to the patients, with
the kindly greeting that accompanied
! it.
Leaving the hospital the General
went with Dr. Westwater to the re-
fuge. It's inmates were assembled in
| the compound, and the General eX-
pressed his own and his chiefs sympa-
| thy with their homeless condition, and
presented $1,000 to this branch of the
work also.
1T was a wonderful sight" writes
| the doctor, "tO see the women and
BARNS bowling and kowtowing their
thanks and begging the Genral to ar
range for their speedy return home!'
In the East as in the West it would
seem that home is best, and such a
touch of nature makes the whole
world kin" The generosity of the
Commanier-in-C Chief of the Japanese
Army and his great anxiety for the
welfare Of the Chinese deserve to be
publicly acknowledged.
Order has now been completely res
| tored at Dalny. All the streets have
been renamed according to the names
of distinguished soldiers at the front in
token of their services. The city can
not yet be freely visited by other per-
sons than those employed in military
| service The Chinese are quietly car
rying on business and are much patron
lied by the Japanese. There are sew
eral Chinese hotels open.
