In tho Contemporary tlcvlcw (or Jiinu
try, under tho tltlo of "Tho Chinese Wolf
nd tho European Lamb," Mr. B. J. Dillon
presents In harrowing details an uccotiiit
of tho massacres of tho Chlncso by the so-
called allied European soldiery. This Is
the description of u scerw nt the bar of tho
Tnku, toward the mouth of the Pel Ho:
"Dead bodies of Chlnamon were lloatlng
seaward) some with eyes ngape and aghast,
others with brnlnlosu skulls and eyeless
sockets, and nearly all of them wearing
their blue blouses, buggy trousers ami
black glossy pigtails. Many of them looked
ns If they were merely swimming on their
backs. Hovering over each was a dense
cloud of files, and higher still, in trie not
heavy air, unclean birds of prey wheeling
round and round, but never once uesconu
Sng. They had long been battening on
shore, nnd had grown squeamish. Tho sky
-as stagnate with heat; tho nir quicKenou
to lire, and quivered till Its vibrations wore
visible to tho eye; thcro was not n breath
of wind to stir tho leafage of tho willows
on tho distant banks. Awny out in the
oiling one could descry tho heads of men
swaying from sldo to sldo with a motion
very different from drifting. On drawing
nearer nnd looking through tho glasses, I
became nwaro that scores of Chinamen
ccnttcred over tho spnee. of many miles
wero up to tholr ncekM In water. Ench nnd
rvcry ono of theso tollers of tho sea was
ulaiiding upon stilts Hailing for boIoh, and
holding n not which ho worked with both
hands. Their heads were Imperfectly
nhlelded from tho sun's blistering rays by
tho colls of their plaited hair, and their
bodies, up to their necks, had been soaking
thus In brlno sltico early morning. These
men wero working for tho surviving mem
bers of their families. Kar as they wero
from each other, they wero still more dls-
tant from the shore, the nearest stretch of
which was some threo miles off. Now, none
of theso busy fishermen cvor moved nwny
from the bodies of their townsmen, which
kept lloatlng slowly past, each accompanied
by lis black cloud of lllcs, nnd Infecting the
sir for many a rood around. Thoso
wretched helots who thus left tho dead to
bury their deail had little of tho magic
power that excites fellow feeling. Ami It
would have stood them In poor atend If they
had possessed It. Vol they sorely needed
nolnco; for their souls wero as completely
Mr-cued In misery ns their bodies were In
svnter. 'Funny fellows, tho Chinese; heart
less brutes,' wns the only comment I heard
is wo sailed post nnd other scenes gr.ulu
illy unrolled themselves to our eager gaze.
After having loft Tien Tain Mr. Dillon
Kent by river Into the, neighboring country
llnviiKt-n "f I'M re itml .Snrd.
"Fire nnd sword bad put their marks
upon this entire country. The untrampled
corn was rotting In tho fields, tho pastures
wero herdlcss, rootless thu ruins of houses
tho humlets devoid of Inhabitants. In all
the villages we panned tho desolation was
tho same. Day after day, hour after hour,
sometimes minutes after minutes, bloated
corpses, pillowed on tho crass ooze, drifted
down tho current, now getting entangled
In thn ropes, nqw caught by an oh.stac.lo
near tho short). Three livid corp'sos were
thus held fast on a llttlo Islet In midstream
nnd thu shallows around kept mo a few
yards to tho lco of them for not less than
six hours of n scorchlngly hot day. Hard
by a spot named Koh So. I saw two bodies
on a low-lying ledgo of tho Bhorc. Ac
customed by this tlmo to behold In tho
broad light of day some of tho horrors
which tho soil of thu graveyard hides from
all living things but tho worm, I should
have glided carelessly past them but for
tho pathos of tholr story, which needed no
nrttculato volco to tell. A father nnd his
boy of 8 bad been shot down in tho
name of civilization whllo holding each
other's hands nnd prnylng for mercy. And
thcro they lay, hand still holding hand,
whllo n brown dog was slowly eating ono
of tho arms of tho father. To Europeans
nt homo Btich n night would appeal with
forco; to Chinamen It is the embodiment of
spiritual as well ns physical misery, for tho
son who should have kept his father's
memory alive In this world, nnd been help
ful to htm In tho world to come, hud been
cut down ns well as himself. It wns like
killing a man In his sins so ns to Insure his
eternal damnation, which was ono of tho
many forma of nsBasslnntlon In mediaeval
Italy. 1 looked at tho fares of tho llttlo boy
and his father, and I can see them still,
ns clearly nnd nlmost as concretely as I
Haw them on tho day. Truly It Is not
'sickly sentimentality' that marks the at
titude of Kuropean culture-bearers toward
China."
The terrlblo conditions In Tung Tschau
are thus described:
"I apeak as nn oyo witness when I say,
for example, that ovor and over again tho
gutters of the city of Tung Tschnu ran red
with blood, and I Homellmes found It Im
possible, to go my way without getting my
boots bespattered with human gore. There
wero few shops, private houses and court
yards without deud bodies and pools of
dark blood. Amid n natlvo population whose
very souls quaked with fear at sight of a
rifle, rovolvcr or military uniform, n reign
of red terror was Inaugurated for which
there Beems no adequate motive. Kven If
nil the Chinese within tho city walls hud
risen In revolt against the foreigners, tho
latter would hnvo quelled It almost without
an effort. Yet they were kept with a
Damocles' sword lontlmmlly falling on their
heads. No native's life or property was
safe for an hour. Men 1 had boon speaking
to before lunch were In their graves before
sundown, and no mortal will over know tho
reason why. Tho thirst of blood had made
men mod. The pettiest and most despica
ble whipper-snapper who happened to have
seen tho light of day In Europe or Japan
had uncon'trollublo power over the life and
limbs, tho body nnd soul, of tho most
highly-cultivated Chinaman In the city.
From his decision thcro was no appeal.
A Chinaman never knew what might betide
lilm nn hour hence. It the Kuropean lost hU
temper. Ho might lie down to rest after
having worked like a beast of burden for
twolvo or fourteen hours only to be sud
denly nwakened out of his sleep, marched a
few paces from his hard couch, and shot
dead. He was never told, nnd probably
seldom guessed, tho reason why. 1 saw an
old man and woman who wero thus hur
riedly hustled nut of existence. Their day's
work dono they wero walking home, when a
flro broke out on n llttlo barge nn the r'er.
They wero tho only living beings founfi out
of bed at tho time, and In tho pockets of
the woman a candle and somo matches wero
stowed away. Nobody, not even the boat
watchman, bad seen them on or near the
uoat. Tliey wero pounccu upon, lasen iu
Itolloro
Asthma,
Bronchitis,
C'uro
Coughs,
Sore Throat,
Catarrh.
Hoarseness.
Nothing excels this simple remedy,
the rlver'8 edge, shot nnd burled. It was
tho work of fifteen minutes or less. Short
shrift was given to any native. Europeans
had their own business to nttend to, nnd
adjudicating mnttcrs of this kind could bo
but an Interlude. Executions wero too fre
quent to have much precious time wasted
on tho preliminaries. No fire over broko
out to my knowledge without a number of
Chinamen being Immolated next day on the
nltar of Justice or vengeance. The Chinese
were treated as Christiana were In the
reign of Nero."
Treatment of Women.
If at tho beginning there may havo been
somo Isolated cases of Japanese cruelty,
Mr. Dillon writes, "tho Japanese generals
very sternly set their faces against this
species of deviltry, visiting the offenders
brought beforo them with such terrlblo
punishment that among their troops tho
practlco died suddenly out, nnd tho Japs
succeeded In sotting an example of political
wisdom to all tho foreign allies." A fur
ther compliment Is paid to tho Japanese:
"In battle fearless and fierce, they were
wont to sparo tho lives of harmless people
In all towns nnd cities, nnd to post up no
tices on the dcors within which such pro
tected citizens dwelt, calling upon all their
allied to sparo and 'not to molest tho In
mates, who nro good, loyal people.' In
worldly wisdom, as In their .commissariat
ami hcspltal organization, tho Japs were
considerably ahead of the best of the Chris
tian allies."
To tho lust for blood was added tho horrl
bio treatment of tho women. Mr. Dillon
writes;
"So far ns I have been able to make out,
and I havo boon at some pains to Investi
gate tho subject, no otllccrs or soldiers of
Kngllsh or Gcrmnn-spcaklng nationalities
havo been guilty of theso abominations
against defenseless women. And tho crimes
of this nature which wero committed In tho
cities, towns and villages In which I was
staying wero numerous. It cannot bo galn
snld, nnd should be openly ulllrmcd, that
after a tlmo severo measures wero pro
claimed against offenders, nnd I remember
thai on September t a Russian soldier was
arrested by somo Indian troops lu the act
of violating a woman, nnd wns duty handed
over to hlb military superiors for punish
ment. Hut It would be unfair to pass over
In stlenco tho fact that only two days pre
viously n Sikh had been pounced upon by
the Russians nnd delivered up to tho Ilrlt
lsh for condign punishment for u similar
offense; and, two days earlier still, two
other Indians hail been shot dead by Ameri
can soldiers tor violating a Chinawoman.
To compnro nationalities In respect of the
guilt of their representatives would bp at
once misleading to the. historian and preju
dtelnl to tho lauso of humanity. It Is
enough to know that outrages against fe
male honor were heinous nnd many; to
gether with the taking of unprotected lives
(ind property, they wero tho crimes rriost
frequently committed by tho nllled troops."
As to tho Ho.xors, nt first utter exter
mination Bcemu to hnvo been tho rulo of
action.
"Down to tho beginning of November
tho llrltlsh wero the only troops which, to
my knowledge, gave quarter to Boxers,
taking the wounded members Into hospitals
nnd caring for them ns for their own men.
Tl ey also refused, more than once, to shoot
In cold blood Chinamen who had fought
against them hi buttle, but wero takeu
weeks later without arms In their bands,
On tho other hand, the Jnpancso, who,
throughout tho Invasion of China, have
been on their Sunday behavior, were tho
only power nmong the allies who under
stood the natives, gained their confidence,
restored perfect order, and re-established
the reign of law. The Japanese districts of
Tien Tsin and 1'ekln, for Instance, wero
model cities quite, npart from all others.
They wero crowded with Chinamen who had
returned nnd were going about their ordi
nary business without fear for life or prop
erty. Markets wero held hero every day,
and victuals bought and sold at tho tlmo
that all the other wards of these cities
wero In a state of chaos und without vegetn
bios or meat. The Japanese wero nnlmatcd
by u desire to show Kuropo that If a thor
ough reorganization of China be desirable
they, and they alone, can effect It. And
this they hnvo gone far toward proving to
Kuropo and tho world In tho most con
vincing way. Looting was first put down
lu tho Jnpaneso wards of I'ckln."
The Hint of Loot.
Looting may bo said to have been gen
eral. The richest harvest was that gleaned
by the Japanese. They holped themselves
freely to tho silver In tho mint nnd treas
ury at lcktn. The Russians showed the
creatcst ability In plundering. "Tho law
less looting which the rules of war against
barbarlutiB wero said to warrant was con
tinued until there was nothing left worth
carrying off." Ah to the plundering of tho
nnartmentB In tho Forbidden City, Mr. DII
Inn declares there wub n satanlc humor

Hvervbodv wanted n "souvenir.
"Tho clvlllzers hurst Into tho imperial

the mandarins present, but it was only, for
sooth, to havo n look or tako n photograph
Then they handled tho furniture, but merely
In order to nscertnlu tho nature, or tho
mctnls and the hardness of tho wood. Then
drawers wero pulled out nnd cases opened
Just that thoy might glance nt and ndmlro
the barbaric splendor or tlio Chinese court
And then thero was n pause, during which
the Intruders looked less nt tho valuables
and moro at each other. Ono man would
lltt up a costly Jade ornament or n flno
piece or sllverwork, study It, glance fur
lively around, ro-oxamlne It with a blush
lay It down In a half-sbamcfaced, half
regretful way and movo on to another
drawer. Then he would return to tho first
and begin theso rites over ngaln. Ono
gentleman had only Just turned his back
for a second on a most artistic nnd ancient
piece of Jadowork nnd was coming back to
ndmlro It once more, when ho saw it dls
appear In tho sldo pocket of another, who
remarked with a diplomatist's euphemism-
One cannot got without a souvenir.' That
word souvenir wns tho formula which every
ono had been seeking for. Once found, thuy
nil brenthed and plundered freely. Kach
ono wnnted n souvenir, and, as thero was
llttlo tlmo to pick and choose, ho took n
number of articles homo for Inspection,
Tho full tide of looting had now set In and
could no longer bo stemmed, even by tho
sturdiest of thoso who wero wont to bo
honest In tho daylight nnd virtuous In tho
presence of u crowd.' An olllcer or high
rank, coining In. shook his hoad sadly, but
exclaimed hopefully enough: 'Gentlemen,
no looting, please. Kach one may tako a
llttlo souvenir, but nothing more.' Hut
coolies cnrrylng coals to stenmors In Hong
Kong could not be moro expeditious than
was this respectable gathering of military
and civil oflliials In stowing nway tho moat
unwieldy vessels, tmngos nnd ornaments
between their conts and their skins. It was
very conilcnl to boo self-respecting Indi
viduals, their features serious and solemn,
whllo their bodies wero no monstrously mis
shappeu that oven ns gargoyles they would
havo been Impossible. Ono otticer left with
what many fancied rau3t bo a lady's tour
nure. expanded by the1 heat to nlnrmlng
dimensions. Ills frleuds explained after
ward that the protuberance was caused by
n magnificent vessel of old china, which ho
In somo mysterious way secreted on his
person."
Tho peculiar horrors, of this war the au
thor certainly does not exaggerate. U
may be questioned, howevor, whether ho
does not see the Manchu dynasty und tho
Chinese In n more amiable light than they
descrvo. Tho matter resolves Itsolf Into
this; If China does not respect tho lives
of tho foreign representatives or of tho
Americans or Europeans who dwell within
her confines, she must be made to do bo.
This general rule holds good for Dahomey
or China. The conclusion of this remark
able article Is as follows;
"China has never meddled In European
affairs, never given tho powers any Just
cnuso of complaint. In fact, her chief sin
consists In her obstinate refusal to put her
self In a state to do cither. She Is not en
croaching upon the territory of others, al
though her population hns become too nu
merous for her own. Her only desire Is to
be left, as she leaves others, lu peace. She
has a right to this Isolation. Russia allows
no foreign missionaries to convert her peo
ple. To tnduco n Russian subject to aban
don his church for rrotestnntlsm or Cath
olicism Is a crime, punlshablo by law. Why
should a similar act not be similarly la
beled and treated In China? It Is, of course,
useless to expect the powers to change
their line of action, nut It Is hardly too
much to nsk that the press should modify
its language describing It. Why should
cultured and more or less truth-loving peo
ples persist In speaking of tho glorious
work of civilizing China, when It Is evident
that thoy are ruining her people nnd de
moralizing their own troops besides? Tho
futuro historian will nnd It dlfilcult to ex
plain how It camo about that tho freo
Christian peoples, whoso generous blood
boiled with Indignation against tho high
handed action of the Drltlsh in South
Africa, were at tho very same tlmo enthusi
astic In their praise of tha 'good work
dono' by the bravo troops In China.
"The nollcy of tho powers la a sowing
of tho wind, nnd the harvest reaped will
surely bo the whirlwind. Hut that belongs
to tho 'music of tho future.' "

EDUCATE YOUR BOWELS
Don't neglect the slightest sign of irregularity but
see that you have at least one natural, easy movement
a day. Pills, salts and black draughts arc dangerous
because they strain and weaken the bowels. What
you want is a mild but sure tonic laxative, that tones and
strengthens the bowels and stimulates their movements.
Such a laxative is CASCARETS, and when you
try them, you will find that it is the easiest thing in
the world to make and keep your bowels clean and
regular, strong and healthy. Sample box JOc, Month's

Into one-halt Inch dice, fry slightly, but
not lo a crisp; four thin slices of bacon.
Cut the bacon luto small pieces nud mix
them with tlio potnto dice; mid nlso threo
small cucumber pickles cut Into dice; sen
son with pepper nnd mix thoroughly. Stirvu
on endive leaves nnd pour over tho wholo
a hot dressing mndo of tlio melted bacon
fat niado qulto sour with vinegar. It seems
qulto probable thnt the settlers of Now
Amsterdam would bo unnblu to recognize
this modern version, but without doubt
thoy would rippreclnto the dlsb, ns they
were ever known ns lovers of good cookery.
A snlad uhlch seems well lilted for a
winter luncheon tilth Is a Creole salad,
which Is prepared In this way: Hull ono
nnd ono-hnlf cups of rlco In salted water;
drain well nnd season with salt, whlto
pepper uud cayenne. Cut three green pep
pers nnd three boiled beets Into dice nbout
thu size of the rice grulns. Chop one onion
very flno nnd ndd with the peppers
nud beets to the rice; mix and
season with three teaspoonfuls of vine
gar nnd six teaspoonfuls of oil. Chill thor
oughly and servo In green peppers from
which tho IdbIiIu pulp has been removed.
Pile tho salad high over tlio tops of the
peppers. The whlto rice, brilliant red ot
thn beets and the deep, rich green of tho
peppers make a charming color combina
tion. Tlio winter luncheon Is thu most sultnblo
plnco for tho heavier meat snlnds which
should not bo served lu hot weather nnd
nro too heavy for dinner salads. Served
here, a salad of this description may well
form tho plecq do resistance of tho meal.
They have, too, their economical side, for
left-overs may bn utilized. A salad mude
from cold pork chops or roast pork, com
bluod with celery, olives, lettuce and muj
nnnulso dressing, Is dollclous und Is some
times mistaken for chlckcu salad. Cold
veal may bo used In tho sumo way.
In small families tho roasted fowl some
times hnngs on for days, and after a fow
appearances thn members of tho family
nro npt to compnro It to tho phoenix, tho
bird of resurrection. This Is especially
truo of tho Christmas or Thanksgiving tur
key. One way of disguising this family
friend Is by making Into salad. Cold duck
makes an especially flno salad combined
with fruits.
Ono cup of cold duck meat cut Into small
cubes, ono orango cut Into small pieces,
with tho while part rejected, nnd ono npplo
cut Into dice. Doll one-half cup walnuts
for threo minutes In meat stock, to whlcli
has been added ono bay leaf, two allspice,
two cloves and two peppcrcorus. Drain
wulnuts, cut Into small pieces and mix
with tho other Ingredients. Squeeze ovor
nil the Julco of one-fourth of n lemon.
Servo on Icttuco leaves or young celery
tips. Onrnlsh with wnlnuts nud orango
sections after mixing salad with nioyou
nalso dressing.
Another hot salad may be made of potato,
nnd, If desired, may be made at tha table
In the clmllng dish. To muku this, ono
pint of boiled potato cubes are required,
Chop together one teiispnonful ench of
onion anil of pickled cucumbers or green
tomatoes. In the chaflug dish heal two
tiiblespoonfulB of butter or salAd oil, ndd
tho chopped onion and plcklo nnd cook until
tho onion Is of a light yellow color.
Sprinkle ono teaspoonful of salt and oue
snltspoonful of popper over tho potato
cubes. To tho pickle und onion lu tha dish
ndd n level teaspoonful of flour, cook a
minute, then add tho potatoes nnd toss
about until nil molsturn Is absorbed; then
add threo tablespuonfuls of vinegar und
two beaten eggs; mix well. Sprinkle wholo
with parsley, chopped lino, nnd cook tho
eggs quickly over tho hot water pan.
With theso salads grilled bread, bread or
cheeso sticks may bo served. Thin bread
and butter sandwiches aro good, or sand
wiches in ado piquant by tho addition of n
llttlo chopped Canton ginger and tho rich
syrup with it. Water crnckers, not tho
hard kind, spread with n layer of cream
cheese, nnd over that n layor of guara or
crnbnpplo Jelly, aro much ued with salads.
Olives stuffed with anchovies nnd put up
In oil or olives stuffed with sweet peppers
nro suitable snlad adjuncts. Caviar sand
