JN CAMP AT HAICHENQ, August 0,
1901. (Correspondence of New York JleraU
and The Omaha Bee.) War. as It clows In '
the perfcrvld imaginings of those who sit
at ease, takes many and gallant shapes.
It Is a swlft-movlnB panorama of reckless
charges, wild riders, arlm-vlsaRfd Infantry,
saen acalnst a background of rolling smoke; j
a chorus of brave cheers henrd when t ho I
awful din slackens and atops for n:i In-
slant
Ail of which Is only true In part nd I
such a small part! There are those who
will tell you and their words are to be
heeded, for they have seen that vir mtjni
to them heat and cold, rain and mud,
now and slush, and, through all ihrf
changes of roads and seasons, the endless
forward plodding of weary men and the
long, dust-clouded line of carts that strains
behind them. They will say that It Is not
alona or always the soldier who wins but
tles, but the draught horse, the pack mule
and th patient bullock-or, In these days,
the swift, uncaring railway. If you add to
this Hat the Chinese coolie you will have a
finger on each of the keys that In this war
make the chord Of Japan's successful move
ment. Laad Ihani Paw Woaada. .
For many daya wa rode the line of
main, advance and wondered that the pas
sage of a great army should not have left
mora wounds uyoq the face of tba land.
Everywhere the roads are slashed with
wheel ruts, but when In dirty, disrupted
China was thia not soTThe uneven tracks
run by fresh, untrodden fields, between walls
of tall kowltang (the long stalked corn grass
that will hide a troop of cavalry) and over
plains of a fertility nothing less than as
tonlBhjng. Thousands of men have gone
that way, and theelog-slog of innumerable
boots has left no more mark than does the
hand cs it swings In the circle of the clock
face. The Strong soil has heaved beneath
the footprint and thrown up a harvest.
Behind the boots come the wheels, heavy
nnil-stuudcd wliee.s of bullock wagons,
lighter iron tired wheel of horse drawn
commissariat curts, and those others,
Kmaller still, which circle forward aa the
sweating men haul between the shafts.
Thus moves the food, lacking which an
army becomes a mob thus, but also, to be
exact, by the railway.
Think of the Japanese occupation of the
peninsula as something quick and sentient,
and the mind lenpa to the knowledge that
this railway track, running directly north
and suuth, is a great vein the pulsing of
which meana life and strength. On either
hand the faint tracings, aa of capillaries,
run where the carts move through the
Melds, touching the tittle hamlets whera
Chlneise have crowded aside to make room
for the scattered troops.
Ruasla'a Line Helps Japan.
Think bIbo for a moment of how In the
matter of this railway Russia has helped
Japan. From Dalny to Halcheng the line
Is Intact. Here and there you will find a
bridge wrested from its supports, sagging
in drunken fashion from the line, while to
the side of It a temporary structure carries
the rails past the break to the track again.
Dynamite, you will think, and so thinking
err. Months back, before the war, there
came great floods to this land, doing dam
age of which the most permanent was the
unsettling of these same bridges. As the
waters left them they remain, and the
temporary., supports of heavy wood over
which run the diverted rails are Russian
made.
Russia has left to her enemy thia work
of her hands without ao much as lifting a
finger to spoil its usefulness. Her men
have fled, taking with them all the loco
motives, it is true, and much of the freight
bearing stock but of this last not all. Day
by day behind ua wa have heard the rumble
of trains, and have turned to see a great
line of rice-heaped cars I have counted aa
many aa twenty-two slowly hauled along
the line by coolie power. Great box cars,
with the queer topsy turvy Russian letters
marking their class, and the staring white
number by which they are known in the
shops, running end to end with long, lean
open trucks, the rank and file of a railway
army.
Cars Hauled by Coolies.
Behind no urgent pufr of steam they
move, but slowly, bound about with the
straw rope harness of the line of dawdling
coolies who pull them over the flat and up
the gentle grades, to leap clattering on
board when the downward slope of the line
gives them rest. You may see twenty-five
or thirty men to a big car, and sixteen or
eighteen to its smaller neighbor, tolling for
ward, while a Japanese, at ease on, the
heaped load, vilifies the loiterers In the
little of their language ha has learned, or,
mora rarely, belabors a pair of buy shoul
ders with a long gross stalk.
Enthroned upon the rice-piled truck, you
may see and hear to right and left of the
line the slow, thudding passage of the
carts, hitting the high places of the trail.
Between the shafts a great bullock or a
sturdy, big-headed Chinese pony, on either
flank of which goes a mule. Here let It ba
said that the mules of this country art
nothing less than splendid, and the bettel
In class the further north you go. They
and the loads they pull give way to army
trannport, harnessed to which are the
wtedy horses which know Japan for home.
At first we were Inclined to sneer at them,
not knowing that, despite spindle legs, nar
row chests and weak quarters, they could
yet drag great weights over the long miles
of many weary days and fight among them-
aelves with vicious Joy at the end of the
Journey. And last, the men three to each
of the bund carts that bear blankets, vt'ji
bottles, rice pans, cooking uteiulle and the
llke Some in boots, some in the Btraw
sandals (or warajl) which are the footgear
of the lower classes in Japan, others bound
In cloths from' the knee down, they sweat
under the sua and fling themselves down
In any shade when the word to rest is
given.
Army Mores oa Its Stomach.
There Is In this none of the romance of
war, as it la dreamed by them that sit at
ease. Raina may make of the road a
nover ending Slough of Despond and swell
the stream fords breast high, but the carti
must move on. Always ahead of them li
that great brown cloud of men, who can
not fight without food. Remember, too,
that If the white man takes more feeding
he can stand more starving than the Ori
ental, whose meal is of rice, a little a very
little canned beef and some pickled vege
tables. Napoleon'a order of half ratloni
and full ammunition pouches would be
madness here.

OBJECTS OF' AJLOCAL SOCIETY
Preamble of the Omaha Philosophical
Society Sets Forth its Uopes
and Alms,
At Its last regular meeting, held at the
Royal Achates ball, .Seventeenth and Doug
las streets, Sunday, October 9, the Omaha
Philosophical society voted to request the
Omaha newspapets to publish the preamble
of the society, so the alms and purposes of
the organisation may be more widely
known. The preamble Is as follows:
Believing that all rational human beings
are entitled to the enjoyment of their own
opinions on every subject, and that they
should have the right to properly express
such opinions at all suitable times and
places and believing thut the object of this
life should be the happiness of the human
race in this world thut mere pleasure do.'S
not constliuto happiness that there can be
no real happiness when either the mind or
the body Is enslaved by huinun laws or
creeds that happiness Is the result of doing
right and living according to the laws of
our nature, physically, intellectually and
morally that we should not live for our
selves alone, but be of service to our kin
ana Kina to mutually asuist i nch other In
finding out what Is right, and doing what
is riant, we orKanlso ourselves into a so
ciety to be known as the Omaha Philoso
phical society which society we propose
shall be perpetual. It shall be the province
of this society to combat Ignorance, Im
morality and superstition; to foster scien
tific investigation, mentul liberty and social
ethics. .
During the fall, winter and spring months
the society meets each Sunday afternoon
at 2:90 o'clock. 'Die subject for next Sun
duy is "The Doors Are Open for the Public."
