n YEXT Thursday will be observed
N by the War Department and
VI the Army as the thirtieth an
4 niversary of the rescue by
allied forces, including units of
the American Regular Army, OF the
colony of diplomats, legation guards,
missionaries and merchants besieged
within the walled City OF Peking by
Chinese Boxer rebels. Gen. Charles P.
Summerall, former chief of staff of
the Army, and other high-ranking COM
manders who were junior officers, took
part in the engagement and received
citations for gallantry.
The Boxer uprising was directed at
first against both the reigning Manchu
dynasty and the activities of all for
eigners, but with the landing Of troops
of the United States, Great Britain.
France, Japan and Russia to protect
their respective nationals, the Chinese
government was committed to actual
war against the powers, and it was
over the opposition OF both the Boxers
and the Chinese imperial forces that
Tientsin was captured and Peking re-
lieved.
The allied forces began operations
on June II and took Tientsin, 30 miles
from Picking, on July Is. After several
small encounters Tung Chow was
reached on August IL and Peking lay
within the relieving army's grasp.
Americans Caught in City.
Caught in the maelstrom of the
Boxer outbreak, American and Euro
pean nationals-men. women and chill
dren-with large numbers of Chinese
Christians, had held out for two
months in the legations within the
City of Peking, which had not sub
mitted to an enemy for 400 years. The
principal group was in the legation
quarter, but far inside, under the
shadow of the walls of the Forbidden
City, small band of French sailors
and Italian marines fought heroically
to protect the priests and nuns and
Chinese children under their care in
the grounds Of the Catholic cathedral.
Many messengers braved death to
carry word of the plight of the two
groups, but not a word mad filtered
back to the beleaguered until the
booming of the allies guns on August
IA told them that the long-awaited
help was at hand. 1t was only few
hours until British column, covered
by fire from American infantry and
artillery. marched through . water

For one thing, he Is quite the most

ANILA.-Dwight F. Davis, who
MI is already known as the ex-
WI ploring Governor General of
1 Y n the Philippines, has not only
out-traveled any other Amer
lean executive in the islands during his
short stay here. but has established
system of provincial visitation on the
part Of the executive branch which will
doubtless be adopted by succeeding ad-
ministrations.
At a discussion of executive affairs
with representatives of American news
papers Gov. Davis said that his ex-
tensive travels, which have already in
cluded AZ out of the 40 provinces-a
record not approached by any previous
governor general-have been part OF
plan to bring the executive branch OF
the government into direct touch with
local conditions throughout the ISLANDS.
In this way Gov. Davis hopes to be
able to remedy conditions which are
usually lost in the maze Of cacique
politics before any report on them ever
reaches his ONCE.
Parties Hand Picked"
For the first time 1t was revealed
that the many pleasure cruises" OF the
gubernatorial yacht Apo are strictly
business.
Il may as well confess" SAID the
! Governor General, that the personnel
OF our parties on each of these little
| trips has been hand-picked. In each
case we have taken with us a repre-
sentative of the health service, repre-
sentative of the judicial department and
some person vitality interested In the
progress of public works.
This is the way We proceed. We
pull the Apo In to some remote harbor,
where, perhaps, there has never been
an 'official' visitation. We send no no
tice in advance of our arrival and take
pains to emphasize that our call. is
strictly informal. Then We get busy.
/ The doctor in the party makes a quick
survey of sanitary conditions. The
| LAWYER makes discreet inquiry into the
condition of the courts dockets. The
engineer takes a look at bridges, cul-
verts and public buildings. We adopt
| no pose as investigators or mentors
| We are simply busy looking around and
having an agreeable time.
| That night we get together on the
Apo for an hours conference. Each
man reports on his particular specially

1t up TO the grandest heights of
