Third Liberty HE WRTES FROM PEKiN, GHINA Tetfs of Many Things of Inter . eet Aboutthe Old City and Surrounding Country. Mr. ajd Mrs. L. J. Dyroo, who llro In Weat Springfield, received a lettor from their bob, Norman Byrno, who la a member of the marine band and atatlonod at Pekln, China. It was datod March 7th. The lottor follows: I find mysolf In a very peculiar po sition h'irb In Pokln. About tho mid dle of last April I left tho university for tho oxprcss purpose of going to Franco and bolng thus of Immodlatoi ii no In thla war. Yot aftor somo two months at Maro Inland, I found my self placed In tho marino band, and last fall, on my way to China, half way around tho world from Franco. Thoru aro aoir.s 130 marines ata tlonod In Pokln, comprising a com plete garrison of guards, artillery, cavalry and band, whoso duty Is, In caso of trouhlo, to protect Amcrlcdh Interests and prevent looting. - ' j Every nation of any. Import Is jro'p rosontod hero In a llko manner, b.clng j all grouped together In what Is known as tho "Legation Quarter,' which. Is, In reality, a fortlflod city within 'l'o 'kin. Among tho dlfforont guards tho marlnoB aro conceded to ho tho host npporalng, noatoat drossed, host paid In all, tho bent soldiers. 1 Pokln, although qulta old, Is tho soventh city In this alto, tho others having been destroyed at various times by earthquakes, flro and sand , storms. At prosont thoro aro two Sites, tho old "Chin Men" and tho ' Tartar city. Each is surrounded by a wall, tlio Tartar wall bolng such 'tho larger. This wall, although only ilxtoon miles long, Is almost twlco tho slro of tho groat wall, Thoro iro gntos In each sldo, and ovary night tlicso closo of old. Along tho top of tho wall ono may still boo tho stono bascB for tho old catapults. Ilunnlng straight through tho city 'rom tho tomplo of Hlomon (supposed )' tho Clilnoeo to bo tho center of tho earth) to the forbidden city, guarded by a dozen gates .surmounted ! by pagodas, la tho Imperial highway. No railroad 1b allowed to." cross this highway, which necessitates tho building of a road around the city, merely In order that wo. may cross, tho street. Tho forblddon city Is In tho center of tho Tnrtar city, surrounded by In numerable 'walls and gates. It Is ono grand docoptlon, for Insldo la only a fow govornment buildings. It Is next to lmposslblo to glvo'any ono an Idea' of-tho 'peoplo of China. Ono could wrlto columns and still bo far from It,, Thoy bayo to bo seen, ryct oven then It Is lmposslblo to .un derstand thomthoy aro so radically opposite ' .standards AYhon judged by westorn thoy aro crazy absolutely senseless. Perhaps thoy havo somo rodoomlng qualities, hut I confess that I've fallod to discover thorn as yet Thoro are half a dozon dlfforont kinds, of ChlnoHo hero In Pokln Mon grels, Tartars, Monchus, Southern Chlneao, otc, all dressing different, having different languagoa and cus toms. All over China It Is the Bamo, ovory'vlllago havlnp a dlfforont dla- lpct. In Shanghai tho peqplo on ono sldo of tho street can't understand thoso on tho othor. Tho most com mon dlaloct In Pekln Is tho Mandarin. Every marina knowB slmathing of this alaloot, Without It wa would bd lost outs'do tho barracks. It Is tho most complox simple thing wo could Imag ine. Although It 1b only fourth rato and coiiBlst mainly of towns and simple verbs, ovary word haa innu merable inflections moaning something oUo, Tho money systom Is tho "height of tha ridiculous," bolng a veritable.

Thoy say that a Chinaman is clover! Well A fow years ago a Marino sold tho battleship Brooklyn to tho Chlneso government. Again 80tno Marines painted blocks of wood with aluminum paint and soldHhom for tho truck blocks on tho garrison rifles. A coolie carries ovory thing in baskets sus pended from a polo on his shoulder, lie may bo clover perhaps ho has a "doop point," but I can't for tho Hfo of mo sco why ho carries two pieces, of leb in ono banket and puts a cobblo stono In tho other for a balance.
