The seas run very high and| ms cannot remain there during storme. It te at uu that t Med troops have landed and marched om” to Tlentein, hoping to contin thelr route onward to Peking. The recent news of the ierrtble defea: of the allied troops by the Chinese shows only one of the difficulties of a further advance, and but little an be realized of wha; !t means to transport an army across the seas and land tt on foreign soll in a condition and with supplies to fight successfully a nation many times more populous and maddened by the fever of brutal victories, Why mot send a large fore nce and punish the Chinese? ts asked by all sides [1 te easy to suggest but not so easy arry out suggestions. If Unele Sam had an army of 30,000 well armed and equipped and disciplined men ready to send, and transports all ready to take them, what dimeultt are in the way of their marching to the reitef of Tientsin and further victorious progress to Peking? An average brigude of 5,000 men wil! take up @ mile in length !f marching In column of fours on 004 road and ranks kept closed. But this latter ts possibility, es all soldiers of experience know, and what ts technically termed “lengthening out" takes place, of a stretching out of the celumn of fours from one-fifth to one-tbird tts original length. It wuld be folly to attempt in a country like China to land troope without the supplies of food, clothing and munition from home proper and sufficient to sup- port them for at least three months. An average ration weighs three pounds at least, and lasts @ soltier one day. Five thousand rations will last the brigade one day. To jast ninety days would require 40,00 pounds, or 25 tons of food. An army wagon holde a ton and a palf of food, hence to carry these rations would require at least 1 wagons, Each wagon is drawn by six mules, and each animal must have his food. A mintmum caleulation for food alone requires 400 wagons, and these with thelr teams would stretch out on @ road a little over four mil Add to this the clothing, medical supplies, tents, ammunition, &c., and the column is doubled. Buch a column requires protection needed with tt, and these need still other supplies. Therefore in a country of good roads @ single brigade with all supplies for ninety days would require ten miles of rond. But in a country like China, where there are no roads, the diMculties are intensified and frniarsed greatly. The Chinese iow country Is cut up y innumerable narrow canal* and streame, and the) means of transport are shallow junks drawing but a few inches of water and taking days to set! from one potnt to another. Between the flooded rice fields and canals are narrow dikes with a single narrow foot- path, along which the Chinese coolie carries his pack on his back, unttl the highlands are reached. There are no roads in China, To transport wagons and artillery along such roads Is impossible. ‘This matier of transportation Is the first and main AiMeulty tn the way of a successful campaign: Ac- cording to the best reports the difficulties of trane portation are vastly Increased beyond Tientsin by the cutting of canals and destruction of the few bridges across the rivers by the Boxers. In sush a country at the best time of the year the progress made by Admiral Seymour's small force at ite best did not exceed ten miles a day. A brigade of 5,00 men, how- ever, would be but @ bait to the army of Chinamen hence more troops are THE SALARIES OF RULERS.
