EACH
NO USE FOR CHINA
Returned Packer Tells Some
of His Experiences.
TAKU TO PEKIN ONE GRAVEYARD
American Horses More Serviceable
Tli an Any of the Others Japa
nese Soldiers' Friendship for
the Americans.
"China's no place for a -white man," Is
the verdict of Frank Earl, of Walla
Walla, who returned from the Orient
yesterday, after spending the Summer
packing ammunition for Uncle Sam along
the banks of the Pel Ho. He was with
the Ninth and Fourteenth Infantry on
their march of relief upon Pekln, and he
thinks the Chinese should hereafter be let
alone. "If our missionaries persist in
going over there to force those Chinese to
change their religion, they should be left
to their fate," he said, "as there is work
enough for missionaries to do at home.
Those Chinese have a religion of ihelr
own, and we would not like them to
come over here and try to make us
adopt it."
He pronounces that portion of China be
tween Taku on the coast and Pekln a
veritable graveyard, where rotting corpses
lie across the path in all directions, and
farming is carried on right in their midst.
"The Chinese," ho said, "bury their dead
on top of the ground, by enclosing them
in heavy wooden coffins, and heaping
the earth up around these. Tou meet
such mounds In the corn fields and along
the highways everywhere, and the Celes
tials are so used to the sight and smell
that they take no notice of it.
"In the Summer the heat is stifling,
and our mules would have to travel
through miles of tall cornstalks on the
hottest days, carrying loads of powder
and cartridges for the Infantry, marines
and artillery. "We had 50 mules in each
train, and 14 men detailed to care for
them. "We packers had no arms and so
were forced to endure the fire of the
enemy quite frequently without being able
to reply. However, we soon got used to
being fired at without shooting back. "We
esked for firearms whenever we had the
chpnee, but they were never granted us."
He thinks the American soldiers were
superior to those of any other nation In
the advance on Pekln.
"The Japanese were better drilled and
equipped than those of the English,
Prench or Russians, the last-named being
particularly Inferior. -There was some In
dication of trouble between the Japs and
Russians at one' time In September," he
said, "and If it came to a show-down the
Japs would have 'walked Russia's log for
her In a hurry."
He has great respect for the Japs and
thinks they were the only friends the
American soldiers had In the campaign,
end that the little fellows showed their
friendship on every available occasion.
'The Japs are the coming nation of
Asia." he said, "and they show progress
In their military camps and in their
cities. The Chinese, though, are not able
to keep up with the march of progress,
and will have to take a back seat.
"American horses and mules showed
themselves superior to all others on the
line of march, both in regard to endur
ance and strength. "While we lost com
paratively few animals in the advance on
Pekln. the British were losing many of
their best Arabian horses, about which so
much had been written. The Oregon
horses were the" best in the American
camps, and I would put them against
those of any other part of the wqrld
when it comes to standing up to hard
work In a hot climate and on little fod
der. Sunstroke caused the death of most
of the horses lost on the march.
"The men had pretty hard fare on the
march, too. A can of preserved beef
about four inches deep would be allowed
to a mes of eight men. and a can of
pork and beans of about the same size
would accompany this, with a few hard
biscuits. "When we got to Pekln we found
the white refugees grumbling because
they had neither milk nor eggs for sev
eral days, but these people little thought
of the suffering the troops encountered
in their march through slush and filth
irom Taku."
It will take a long time, he thinks, to
reconstruct the railroad to Pekln, as the
tails had all been torn up and carried oft
to. distance of one to five miles. Very lit
U can be accomplished in the Winter, as
that region freezes up solid, and so re
construction, if it begins at all, will have
to be postponed until the thaw next year.
He is glad to get back home and would
not take the job again for $100 and board.
The present pay is $G0 and board. He
wants no more of any part of China, and
will carry tho disgust of Pekin with him
aB long as he lives. "The streets of Pekin
can discount the dirtiest alley In Amer
ica," he said, "and the whole populace
are worse than hogs."
ON HIS ROAD HOME.
F. "W. Vallle en Route to Portia 4 'by
"Way of Europe.
Tho many Portland friends of P. W.
"Vallle, formerly in charge of the railway
mall service here, and of late Director
General of Ports for the Philippine Isl
ands, will be pleased to learn that he Is
likely to visit this city before long.
He applied to be relieved some time ago,
and received a favorable response from
the department, but his departure was
delayed on account of the illness of his
assistant. He writes to a friend here
under date of Manila, October 31, that,
outside of some ear trouble, his health Is
now all right. He is coming home by
way of Europe, not being able, so he
says, to resist the temptation to make a
globe-trotter out of himself, and expect
ed to be In the United States by the time
his letter reached here. The prospect
of landing In New Tork in midwinter in
hie white Philippine suit gives him the
shivers, but he states that be has writ
ten to a friend to meet him at the wharf
with an ulster. He hopes to be in Port
land at an early date, but fears It will not
be his good fortune to be again stationed
here.
Matters in the Philippines, Mr. "Vallle
thinks, will soon straighten out. He says:
"There is no question as to the fact that
the hope of Bryan's election has kept up
most of the fighting. The well-to-do Fili
pinos have not been able to decide what
the outcome would be. and, to protect
themselves In the event that the United
States withdraws its troops, have been
contributing to the so-called insurgent
element, which they can hardly be blamed
for doing, after reading some of the
American papers. If Bryan is elected, he
will find he has cot to do exactly as
McKinley has been doing. This policy
cannot be changed for the better, except
by dealing more harshly with the robber
leaders."
