Battle BEYOND GREAT VAIL
LIKE CARNAGE At GALLIPOLI
Wounded Scream, for Help That Cannot Come.
- Monkeys May Be Used to Test Wire
EntangIements and Gas.

kwan to relieve the suffering Of the
poor devils, whom I saw writhing in
their death agony. They were dying
of slow torture because none of the
stretcher bearers knew how to sue
cor them. They were being bundled
into filthy cars and the putrid dirt
therein was entering their wounds.
Like GaIlipoIi Battle.
THE carnage on the other side of
the great wall must have been awful.
1t was not a battlefield, but a
slaughter house. A friend of mine
who had gone through three wars
stated that the fighting at Shanhai-
kwan during he past few days would
make the battles OF the South African
War look silly. But IT reminded me
of my dreadful days in Gallipoli.
THE day before l left, Wu Pei Flu
had sent for a large number of mon
keys-for what purpose no one could
ascertain. Some said 1T was to try
out poison gas; others that they were
to be used to ascertain whether
Chang Tso Lin's wire entanglements
were electrified.
Refugees from the lines of the
Mukdenites f1ocked in and sat on the
wall or in the fields, looking with
awe on the scene. Little babies were
crying. Frantic fathers were trying
to secure food for them Attempts
were made to get them to go to the
seaside, where they would be safer,
but they preferred sitting where they
could see their houses rather than
seek safety All that they owned in
the world was there.
Long Trains of Wounded.
LAS ] boarded my train long trains
Of wounded were being brought in

with no one to care for them or even
to give them water. AS the train
steamed out an aeroplane came over
head and dropped q bomb 200 yards
from the train. 1t continued drop
ping bombs on the station for some
time. but we got away unhurt."
This description shows how heavy
has been the fighting on this front
and how terrible have been the cas-
ualties One of the most striking
things about the casualty lists has
been the number of officers killed and
wounded on both sides. Heretofore
Chinese officers have remained In
places of safety, but the present con-
f1ict proves that they are learning
their duty and fighting along modern
lines with bravery and detcrmina-
ton.
The determination of Chang Tso
Lin's attack, which resulted in his
defeating Wu Pei Fu's crack diyi-
sions, surprised foreigners and Chi
nese alike. The intense cold is caus-
ing great suffering to both sides, for
cold, piercing wind has been blow
ing from the north for three days and
the sky threatens snow. Chang Tso
Lin's men are the better prepared for
the cold. They have warm dugouts
and plenty of warm clothing and
food.
The railway between Shanhaikwan
and Tientsin is so congested and dis
organized. handling munitions and re-
Inducements, that Wu's wounded
cannot be removed to hospitals On
the other hand, Chang Tso Lin's por-
tion of the railway is working
smoothly.

Ing around Shanhaikwan was OBJ
tanned by the writer from H. v. Mil
lington, an Australian, who was the
last foreigner to leave Shanhaik
before it's occupation by the Mukden
troops:
"a terrific artillery match along the
whole Shanhaikwan front, from the
mountains to the sea, a distance of
nine miles. had ragged for 81 hours
without fntermission, when my train
steamed out Of the station for Ching
wantao. Aerial bombs narrowly
missed the train as we got under
way
Thousands Of reinforcements had
been rushed up to the firing line
under whitening fire of high ex-
plosive shrapnel. which the Mukden-
ties sent over the Great Wall along
the railway line, where WI Pei Fus
fresh troops must detrain to assist
their comrades at the front. The
casualties were very heavy. How
those In the front lines will ever be
evacuated, God alone knows. 1t was
plain to every one that the heavy
bombardment would compel the Chih-
lis to withdraw to their second line
II was informed that stand would
be. made at Chingwantao, with the
object Of saving as much as possible
of the huge quantities of supplies and
rolling stock which are congested at
that point.
Shells in City.
AT 4 am. on the day Of my de-
parelre the roar of the guns was
deafening and shells were dropping
into the city, demolishing houses and
wiping out whole families. The rail-
way platform was running red with
blood OF the wounded, who lay In
rows on the platform. which was
bombarded intermittently from the
air. --......
Many OF the wounded had bayonet
wounds. In 10 minutes I saw 200
wounded brought in. The day before
l saw scores Of railway trucks and
cars packed to the doors with hor-
ribly mutilated soldiers. But not a
single wounded Mukden soldier was
seen.
The suffering of the wounded was
awful. Many of those / saw yester-
day and today had dried hard blood
on their bodies, showing that they
had been wounded many hours before
and had not even received first aid
dressing. They were lying in the sta
tion in dirty trucks and on the plat
form. Many had their limbs shat
tered. Almost all were frightfully
mutilated.
10 Help for Wounded.
What is happening in no mans
land It is impossible to imagine
Medical attendance at Shanhaikwan
is deplorably lacking. The groans of
the wounded apparently fell on deaf
ears. The station is jammed with
troops, horses and cattle, and these
had to pass through the great wall
before the wounded could be evacu-
ated.
