ing from 7001 bto 10001 b. The Japanese had pack-horses, and light, onehorse carts; and the Russians twowheeled carts, drawn by Manchurian ponies. The French, Italians, and Ausfcrians bad so transport, except what they picked up in the country, The Germans were in much the same fix, till they got a number of baggage waggons, which are described as much inferior to the American carts. The British mule transport and the carts sent from India were fairly good, but not, of course, up to the American. Regarding equipment, tbe British, Japs, and Russians marched very light, while the French and Italians had very heavy packs. In camp the Americans and Germans paid most attention to sanitation. The British kept their camps tolerably clean, but seemed to do the work spasmodically. The Japs had clean enough quarters, but were not particular as to their surroundings. The worst of the lot, in this respect, were the Russians and fVench, whose camps were ' plainly perceptible by the olfactory nerves, even at Borne distance.' The report concludes with some retaariss on tUe feeling existing between the Allies. Tbe Russians kept to themselven, as did the Germans and the French. The Japs were polite to all, and iv evidence in all the camps, especially the British and American. The two last-named were very friendly, and exchanged frequent visits. It would be interesting to read the reports of the other Powers on this phase of the Chinese difficulty.
