was snnrred by the knowledge that the soldiers ct
other nations were to take part in the relief ex-
nedition and he wished the men of his own coun-
trv to show themselves worthy in the sight of the
men of other countries
They did show themselves worthy, and they re-
sponded to the call of their commander with an
alacrity that made the American leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with difficulties
and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war
fare.
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
believe that Gen. Chaffee did not sleep hour
during the march to Peking The soldiers who
made the march declare that the nights in China
are black; that it is impossible to anything at
all without the aid of artificial light, and these in
the bvouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for
precautionary reasons. There definite
knowledge of the forces that might be in the path
of the expedition, and no one knew what surprises
the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee his soldiers
say, constituted himself sentinel who refused to
be relieved from guard, and through the nights he
alert and watching, and through the days he
alert and marching.
There stories by the scores of men who are
supposed to bear charmed lives. The hero of the
book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds
rain and in the reading of it one finds it hard to
believe that any truth could be stranger than this
fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear a charmed
life he has the largest allowance of luck that has
fallen to any man.
Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for
bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to
him for gaantry in the civil war service, and two
for gaantry in battles with the Indians. He once
led cavalry charge over rough and precipitous
bluffs where cavalry charge thought to be
feat wel-nigh impossible
He rode at the head of his men straight into
body of armed Indians, scattering them, but not
until they had poured volley after voey into Chat
fees oncomlng command. That charge gave the

When the Spanish-Amercan war broke out

teers. He was in the very thick of the fighting
in front OF Santiago. Capt. Arthur Lee a British
army officer detailed by his government to watch
the held operations i'll Cuba attached himself to
the headquarters of Gen. Chaffee. Capt Lee wrote

powerful swimmer. On that night he swan the
entire distance around the bay, landing now and
then to get closer look at the enemy's water

sentinel. If discovery had come it meant almost
certain death to the swimmer. He back to
his starting point with full knowledge of the
strength of the Spaniards in heavy guns, and
when the time for the assault came, the infor-
nation was of priceless service.
Gen. Bell called while in the Philip
pines to end the war in Batangas. He ended it,
and in ending it he took the only course possible
"a course that the civilians at distance from
the fighting denounced altogether too severe
Bell was called a second Weyler and second
duke of Alva, but when full knowledge came of
his operations and of the craft and horrd cruelty
of the natives whom he fighting, criticism
died. OF his experience and of the criticism he
said in letter to friend
Knowing my disposition and kindly feeling
toward the natives full well, you will have no diff
fculty in understanding that the necessity for Sc
we're measures has been source of distress to
me. The only consolation l can derive is by
keeping my thoughts the end and object in
view. When has worked faithfully, consci-
entiously and unselfshly for his country four
years, without relaxation rest, it is somewhat
dscouraging, not to say distressing, to find that
even some of his own countrymen appear to have
no confidence in his motives, Judgment or nteg-
rity."
There is no in mincng words; Gen. Bell
is considered one of the most daring and dashing
officers in the American service He wears a
medal OF honor for charging "singlehanded and
alone, body OF armed Filipinos. He was shot
at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army

iect lesson doubtless has had some
influence in modifying the thought
which the orientals held that they
could whip the Americans out OF
hand. Gen. Chaffee was in command
of the expedition which went to the
relief of the beleaguered embassies
at Picking. Japanese officers and
men saw him there. The general
won fame in China which is not
confined to the American continent
The generals of Europe have Civ
en- testimony that Adna r. Chaffee
is a great soldier. Orders to take
command of the Chinese expedition
reached Gen. Chaffee while he was
at Nagasaki on board a steamer
which was to take him to the Phil
ippines. The order was unexpected,
and the general had practically no
chance for campaign preparations
He was to go into strange land, to
lead an expedition against strange
people, and not only was it expected
of him that he be successful, but
that success be won quickly, for the
lives of many Americans were in
danger within sight of the walls of
the "Forbidden City,"
The general arrived at Tien-tsin
too late to take part in the battle in
which the brave Maj. Liscum of the
Ninth infantry lost his life. Not

Straight into the village went Bell at the head
OF MS men. Dawn streaks were beginning to
show In the sky, but the warriors were asleep
past the ordinary waking, for were not the SEN
tlnels posted, ard were they not bound by every
tradition of tribal honor to be awake and watch
full?
Lieut.. Bell had given his men orders The vii
lage was cordoned with troops and there wasn't
mousehole of escape. Bell has whimsical
humor. In the very heart of the Tagalog village
was an old muzzle-loading brass cannon trophy
taken by the Tagalogs from the Spanards of an
other day, and which the natives were hoping to
use against the equally hated Americans. Bell
detailed loading party of three men, The three
became boys again, and they rammed the piece
full OF powder and grass wadding after the man
ner of loading Fourth of July cannon on the
village green in the home land.
The light of coming day was strong enough
for the conducting of operations A lanyard was
pulled and the brazen piece roaed out it's reveille
The sound of it shook the foundations of the Ia
galog huts; it reused the warrior sleepers as
would the cracking of doomsday. They came
armed but naked to the fray. The Tagaogs looked
on bayonet points and down gun barrels and sur
render came instanter.
