Some criticisms have been made on the dress and appearance of our soldiers when off duty as compared with the soldiers of other armies. Some of these criticisms are just and some are not, and all leave out of view important considerations. The Ninth and the Fourteenth Infantry and some of the marines had been serving in the Philippines. There were but few old soldiers in these organizations, probably not 10 per cent. Nearly all of them were young, some very young men, who had been in the service less than eighteen months and in the Philippines less than a year. They were at once sent out to the front, where there was little or no opportunity for drill and disciplinary exercises. They were dressed for tropical service. They were hurried off to China to meet an emergency; they were sent there for business, not for show; they were dressed and equipped accordingly. They went to China and brilliantly accomplished the object for which they were sent. When the campaign was over, their clothing was necessarily in bad condition. They had clean clothes stored at Tientsin, but there was no transportation for them. Necessities must always have the right of way in war. Duties were very burdensome for several weeks after the campaign was over, and left no time for disciplinary measures. But after awhile duties became less exacting, clothing arrived, drills began, and in a short time the men made a new and creditable appearance. October 3d a review of American troops was tendered to Minister Conger, when many foreign officers were present. Sir Claud McDonald, British minister, was present, and afterwards wrote the following letter: "british Legation, Thursday Evening. "Dear Mr. Conger: "I have been so busy all day I haven't had time to write and tell...

Download or read book From Peking to Mandalay A Journey from North China to Burma through Tibetan Ssuch uan and Yunnan written by Sir Reginald Fleming Johnston and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journey of which an account is given in the following pages was not undertaken in the special interests of geographical or other science nor in the service of any Government. My chief object was to gratify a long-felt desire to visit those portions of the Chinese Empire which are least known to Europeans, and to acquire some knowledge of the various tribes subject to China that inhabit the wild regions of Chinese Tibet and north-western Yunnan. Though nearly every part of the Eighteen Provinces has in recent years been visited and described by European travellers, my route between Tachienlu and Li-chiang was one which—so far as I am aware—no British subject had ever traversed before me, and of which no description in book-form has hitherto appeared in any European language. From the ethnological point of view the Chinese Far West—to which the greater part of this book is devoted—is one of the most interesting regions in the world, and presents problems the solution of which would settle many of the vexed questions relating to the origin and inter-relations of the Asiatic peoples. As for its geographical interest, it may be sufficient to say here that the principalities of Chala and Muli contain what are probably the highest spots inhabited by man on the face of the globe, and that several of the passes crossed by my little caravan are loftier than the highest of the passes existing along the route traversed by the British expedition to Lhasa. My own contributions to geographical and ethnological lore are of the slenderest; but if I can persuade some of my readers that Tibetan Ssuch'uan and western Yunnan are worth visiting, be it only for the glory of their mountain scenery, I shall consider that my book has fulfilled the most useful purpose to which it aspires. For those who are seized by a craving to revert for a time to something like the nomadic life of our remote forefathers, or to pass like the old Hindu ascetics into "the homeless state," there can be no country in the world more full of charm than some of the wilder and less-peopled regions of the Chinese Empire. There are enormous areas in that country covered with primeval forests in which man's foot has never trod, lofty mountains whose peaks are crowned with sparkling diadems of eternal snow, grand and savage gorges in which Nature has carved for herself in indelible letters the story of the world's youth, and gloomy chasms through which rush the mighty rivers that carry to the Indian Ocean and the Pacific snows that melted on the white roof of the world. And amid all this magnificence and desolation there are lovely valleys and stretches of garden-land that might have been chosen as the Edens of a hundred mythologies, and which in historic times have been the homes of religious recluses and poets, who, like others of their kind in Western lands, found in silence and solitude a refuge from the bitterness and pain of the world, or a hermitage in which, amid scenes of perennial beauty, they could weave their flowers of thought into immortal garlands of human words.
