WASHINGTON. Aug, 17. The Navy de

Colonel Itobert Meade and Ma.'or L. W. T.
Waller of the United States Marine corps
on the battle of Tlcn Tsln. They give not
only a graphic account of this Initial en
gagement In the Chinese campaign, but
furnish the Information with official exact
ness. Colonel Meade's report Is dated nt
Tien Tsln, July 16. After telling of the
situation around Tien Tln and of the de
cision reached on July 12 at a conference,
held at the Kngllsh general's headquarters
to attack the city ubout daybreak-the next
day, Colonel Meade's report, In describing
the early fighting In which the marines and
Ninth Infantry took such a gallant part,
lays:
Wo reached the advanced poxltlon about
R ii. m. I took ISO rounds per mnn with
me-100 rounds In tho bolts and eighty In
tho hnversnck.1, This Is not Hiiftlclent for
np. nil-day fight, nnd us It grow toward
night I begun to be upprehenslve of being
loft In the iidvnnce position In u tight
w,nere no prisoners were tiilten on either
side with only the bayonet to light with
On the tiring line the union was especially
not nnd the enemy's tire rspcclnly rapid
and ncrurnte, nnd about S:l!0 n. m. tho
enemy appeared In largo numbers upon our
eft, nmnng the crave mounds of the Held
In which we were, with the evident Intnn
tlon of flanklnc us. I made u turning
movement to the left and rear nnd we
drove them nwiiy Later In the day, about
2 p. m., they iignln made u flanking effort,
, but nt this time the Infantry mippnrl of the
artillery company was on the mud wall of
the city and aided us bv n crossfire Til's
company was rommnmled by t'liptaln ('. (S
Long. The effort of the enemy proved a
failure and we drove them In.
Wo remained In the trenches until about
s p. m . when we received an order from
the brigadier general commanding to with
draw, which was probably the most dlrtlciilt
action of the day, since the enemy Had ho
well covered our pofdtlon that their nhom
struck the erests of the trenches and
threw dirt In our faces, many being hit.
General Dorward ordered that the troop
should sleep upon their srms that night
nnd on the following morning to enter tit
city. The south gute had to be blown til
by guncnttnn. The troops had had nothing
whatever to eat on the 13th save thp HMiall
luncheon (if It may be so called), which
each man curried In his haversack It vn
not expected when we started that th na
tion would prove ko long, but Oenernl Dor
ward, knowing the situation, kindly nrnt
to tho reservation for food and Other neces
saries, nnd the bivouac proved a Hiitci'.H,
und the men, although very fatigued, woio
ready for duty.
On tho nth Inst, the south gatn having
been Mown In, wo moved Into the walled
city about fi o'clock n m.
- found tho city tilled with dead -"hli.a.
men and animals. No resistance was made
to our occupation In the walled ritv I'mif,
but nn Infantry tire was kept up bv the
Japanese Infantry upon the enemy, niio re

lha flenrral Ofllcer Commanding Hrltlsh
Forces In China to the Otllcer Commanding
the rutted Stntes Forces: Sir I desire to
express the high appreciation of the Hrltlsh
troops of the honor done them In serving
alongside their comrades of the American
army during the long und hard lighting of
the 13th and tho subsequent capture of Tlon
Tsln city, and of my own appreciation of
tho high honor accorded to mo by having
them under my command
Tho American troops formed part of the
front linn of the Hrltlsh uttnek and so had
moro thun tluir share of the lighting that
took place. Tho ready and willing sidrlt
of tho officers and men will always make
their command easy nnd pleasant, and
when one adds to that the steady gallantry
and power of holding on to exposed posi
tions which they displayed on the 13th Inst,
the result Is soldiers of the highest cluss.
Wo nil deeply symputhlzo with you In thi
heavy losses you have suffered, especially
with the Ninth regiment In tho loss of their
gallant colonel, R H. Llscum. while at the
head of his men, and with tho First regi
ment of murines In the death of Captain
Davis, who met a soldier's death In tho
very front of the tight.
I blamo myself for the mlstnke made In
tho taking up of their position by the
Ninth regiment, not remembering that
troops wholly freBli to tho scone of action
and hurried forward In the excitement of
battle were likely to lose their way. Still,
the position they took up nnd gallantly
stuck to nil day undoubtedly prevented h
largo body of the enemy from turning the
right of tho attacking party and Inflicting
serious loss on the Fronch nnd Jnpanese.
Among many Instances) of personal brav
ery In the action I propose especially to
bring to notice In dispatches tno conduct
of First Lieutenant Smcndlcy D. Hutlcr,
I'nlted States marine corps, In bringing a
wounded man from tho front under heavy
nnd accurate tire. Lieutenant Hutler wns
wounded while so doing, but, 1 am glad to
learn, not seriously. Tho regtmentul adju
tant. First Lieutenant Henry Leonard, as
Lieutenant Hutler was suffering severely,
volunteered to carry him out of tho tiring
Hi. .
I.roniiril'n finllnnt I'enl.
This gallant feat ho successfully accom
plished, but, I regxot to suy, was very dan
gerously wounded In so doing. The Ninth
regiment wns lighting somewhat outstdo
my sphere of action, so I uni to bring for
wurd only one instance of personal gal
lantry In thnt regiment, although clicum
stanccd us they were, fighting fcr about
twelve hours almost alone and unsupported
and never giving back a foot ut ground
until directed to retire under cover of the
night, and the tiro of the naval guns, such
Instances must have been very numerous.
The one I would refer to Is tho bringing
back to me by the acting regimental ad
jutant, CHptnln Lawton, of tho account of
the position of the regiment across a wide
and tire-swept space anil returning with
reinforcements to guide them to his regi
ment, when he was severely wounded.
Tho withdrawn! of the regiment was a
delicate military operation tlnallv carried
out, on which I congratulate Lieutenant
Colonel Coolldge nnd the officers and men
under his command.
I havo the honor to be, sir. vour obedient
servant, A. It. F. DOUWAIU).

June 28. and says in part:
At 2 in the morning, June 19, the Russian
colonel Informed me thut ho would push
on with his 400 men and attempt to get Into
Tien Tsln nnd aid In the defense of the
city. I objected, but wus overruled In coun
cil, Mv reason told me thut thore was a
slim chance for passing the Chinese force
with only K!0 men and no guns, the threfc
Inch ride proving defective, I disabled It
and rolled It Into the river and followed the
Russians in the twelve-mile march on Tien
Tsln. The Russian column was In advance
too strong, with my 6-mm gun in their
front under the command of Lieutenant
Powell. The advance continued until 7 a.
m. without opposition, when we renched a
point opposite the Imperial arsenal.
There we met n small flank tire, which
was quickly silenced by our sharpshooters.
About ten minutes later wo met a very
henvy front and flank tire from 1.500 or 2,000
men Intrenched. We deployed nnd my line,
feeling the flank tire, turned to the left und
rear, confronting the flank movement, our
line at thut time having its front advanced.
Tho support of the Colt gun having
dwindled to two men und the gun having
Jammed several times, all the crew being
shot down but one, Lieutenant Powell ver
properly decided to abandon It, which he
did ufter disabling the gun,

A PUNGENT T00D DRINK. ,
Willi the Tnntr of t'offpp.
"Perhaps no ono has suffered more from
tho use of roffeo of failed oftencr in the
attempt to leave it off, than I have. Al
though I never drank more thun half a cup
at a time. It oven then gave mo sour stom
ach nnd a wholo catalogue of misery. This
kept up for a long period and time and
again I have resolved that I positively
would drink no more coffee, but alas, tho
rest of the family used It, and, like the re
formed drunkard who smells whiskey and
falls again, when I smclled coffee, I could
not resist It.
"Finally wo ramo to try Postum Food
Coffoo and my trouble was over at once.
Thcro I had my favorite boverage, a crisp,
dark brown, rich colfco, with a line pungent
coffeo taste, nnd yot with no sour stomach
or nervous ttoubles after It. On the con
trary, I have gained grudually In strength
and sturdy health. All who have spoken
to me about Postum agree, and we have
found It so. that tho directions for making
must bo followed, and It raUBt be boiled at
least fifteen minutes, or more, and it also
requires the addition of good cream. We
havo tried boiling It a few minutes when In
a special hurry, but found it insipid and un
satisfactory: whereas by proper boiling, It
Is dark and rich, with a delightful flavor.
"Dr. McMillan of Sunbeam, III., sahl he
had used Postum and found It to be Just
ns good as coffee, and more healthful. He
Is an M. D. of fine standing. Mr. David
Strang und sister havo left off coffee swl
are using Postum. They find It much moro
healthful. Rev. W. T. Campbell, paBtor of
tho Second United Presbyterian Church of
this city, says: 'You muy suy anything
good that you wlBh, about Postum Food
Coffee and I will substantiate It.' He was
n vory great lover of coffee and yet found
It very Injurious to his health. He now
drinks Postum three times a day and tho
old troubles have disappeared.
"I shrink from having my name appear
In public. The statement I havo given you
Is truthful, and 1 hope will aid some people
to discover that coffee is the cause of their
aches and ails, and they are In a way to
get rid of their troubles by leaving otf cof
fee and taking up Postum Food Coffey"

FORESTRY AS A PROFESSION
Several Universities and the Natiopal Gov
ernment Encourage in tho Study.
NOT A ROAD TO WEALTH ALWAYS

The young mnn who Is starting out to
make a place for himself today, says the
Now York Sun, has the chance to enter
ouu field which, but a few years ago In this
country, was practically unknown, tt is n
field In which he can assure hlnuclf of a re
spectable and' permanent livelihood without
tho "taint of commercialism," In which he
may enjoy the dignity nnd freedom of a pro
fession without the rigorou routine of
tncdlclno or the dry us dust work of tho
law. In It he can combine tho pleasures
and profits of city life with the Joys of
life In the Held, he can keep his brain from
rusting und at the same tlmo acquire tho
ruggedness of nn aborigine. Most Important
of nil he can enter upon a work which will
bo Interesting, pleasant and healthful und
nt tho sanir time one Important enough to
make him lespect It and willing to give to
It tho best that Is In him. This Hold, which
has but very recently taken n hold on the
public Interest, Is the profession of for
estry. The forestry of today Is Interested In the
protection of trees, but It has for Its chief
end tho utilization of mature trees to ob
tain their maximum commercial value and
tho maintenance of forests for the purposes
of income-earning Investments. Indirectly
tho preservation of tbo trees Is Included
because to get lumber you must first have
your trees, but the essential object ahead
of tho modern forester Is tho acquirement
of wealth where there was heretofore
waste and such assistance of nature that
sho may do her work with the maximum
amount of effectiveness. Tho work before
tho modern forester, then, Is the study of
the conditions of forest growth, of the pe
culiarities of various trees and the ways
ot best assisting their growth nnd most
effectually destroying their enemies. The
forester must therefore have tho knowl
edge of a scientist combined with that of
n business man; he must know how to
make forests grow and at the same tlmo
understand the dangers to navigation,
water supply and public health Involved
In cutting them down. Mineralogy, ge
ology, zoology, mathematics, physics and
chemistry are as useful to him as a knowl
edge of the laws of taxation, economics and
trade.
To make n success of forestry ns a pro
fession n young man should expect to
spend- about three years In preparation.
The first year should bo given to the study
of botany, surveying, political economy,
law and to some extent mathematlcA. chem
istry, physics nnd geology. In short, a
course should be taken in a regular school
of forestry, such ns two of the universities
now provide. Most college graduates
would, or course, have already prepared
themselves in such subjects. The second
year should bo devoted to the study of for
estry under tho guidance of n veteran for
ester, and experience relatively comparablo
to that which a young medical student gets
In n clinic or hospital. Tho third year
should bo spent In lumber camps and lum
ber mills, with, If possible, a trip abroad,
whero tho sllvlcultural principles of Ger
many or France may he studied. The
United .States Department of Agriculture
o'fTers to a few well qualified mD Just the
sort of experience that s suggested for
the second year. A certain number .of men
who havo been properly recommended aro
now taken out Into the field each summer
and paid a salary of 125 a month, In addi
tion to their expenses while in the field.
Some 232 applications for these appoint
ments wore resolved this year by the di
vision of forestry, most of them from the
mere Important colleges. From Yale nnd
Harvnrd alone 100 wero received, while
seventy-seven more were scattered over
different parts of tho Atlantic states. Of
the remainder sixteen are from California,
where sevoral students from Ilcrkoley nnd
Loland Stanford had appointments last
summer, and n somewhat larger number
from tho states of the middle west In which
forests ex!t A few weru from tho tree
less region, f all sixty-one applicants
havo been appointed and are now beginning
work. They arc divided up among the field
experts who aro making Investigations and
forest surveys ns follows: In tho stftto of
Washington, seven; In California, thirteen;
In the nlack Hills, nine; In the middle
west, five; In Arkansas, ten; In the Ap
palachian region, two; in the Adlrondacks,
fifteen.
Hxprrlpncp liy ItnnRliInK '
Equipped with the usual camping para
phernalia expected when a party Is going
to "rough it," these young men aro taken
nut among tho forests of Oregon or the
red woods of California or wherever tho
squad to which they happen to belong Is
assigned and they spend tho summer In
collecting tho measurements of trees and
making surveys, from which the foresters
of tbo division can next winter draw con
clusions nnd tabulate results.
As tho students work In squads under a
trained forester, they are found to pick up
a pretty good notion of the significance of
what they are doing and the way In which
a forester does his work. One of tho sub
jects of amateurs Is the effect of forest fires
on the forests.
Gilford linchot, forester of tho Depart
ment of Agriculture, In a recent number of
tho Forester, writing of opportunities open
to the young forester, says: "Ho may
reasonably look for paying employment,
cither from prlvato owners of forest land,
such ns great companies or wealthy lumber
men from such states us New York or Penn
sylvania, or from tho government, cither In
the general land office, where tho national
forest reserves nre administered, or In tho
division of forestry, to which the general
progress of the science and art of forestry Is
assigned, together with all technical forest
work uud In which tho Interests of the vast
area of private forest lands nre considered.
At present the pay of tho foresters Is on
ubout tho samo plane as that ot tho Instruc
ors and professors in a university."
You don't go Into forestry, therefore, to
got rich. For him, however, who loves the
out-of-doors, who prefers tho wealth of
cheerfulness and henlth to that of glided
strcnuoslty, who does his work not so much
for what It brings him as for tho fun of do
ing It, forestry as a profession offers com
pensations most worthy of consideration,

MITCHELL. S. 1).. Aug. 17. (Special ) -
Fourteen homesteaders sprung a surprise
on tho official of the United States laud
olfiec In this city Wednesday afternoon
when th?y Mapped in nnd handed in their
filings for Eomo government land which It
hud been supposed was held by tho In
dians under allotment from the f,overn
nictit. This land, comprising fourteen
quarter sections, lies within a half mile
to n mile and a half of the town of Wagner
on tho Yankton reservation, nnd on ac
count of its close proximity to the town
is regnrded us being quite valuable us
reservation land goes. It has nlwayo bcon
I he supposition that this land wns held
by the Indians and was given them by
the government, but an Inves'lgatlon .ins
been going on of late, evidently by par
ties In Washington, and It has been dis
covered that while the land has been held
in severalty by the Indians there were no
Indians but such mimes on the reservation
and there was no evidence that the allot
ment had ever been transferred. This Is
tho contention of tho homestenders and
thoy expect to have no trouble to prove
their case before tho General Land office.
White the officials of the Land office in
cepted their filings they declined to tako
any money for the same, as It did not np
pear by tho government tracts that any
such land was open to filings. This action,
however, will give them a standing ie
fore tho department nt Washington, so
that they can proceed with the case.
