PEKING, Dec. 11.—China’s gigan
tic war panorama, developed on a
scale comparable to nothing that has
occurred in China since the Manchu
invasion of 250 years ago, has been
described by B. Lenox Simpson, pro
prietor of the Far Eastern Times, as
he saw it from the Great Wall near
Shan Haikwan.
Mr. Simpson has just returned to
Peking on the first train to get thru
after interruption of traffic Septem
ber 13. “No ground selected by the
most skilled producer of scenic ef
fects could be better than this long,
narrow plain which, skirting the sea,
runs for hundreds of miles north, for
it was the roadway into China during
hundreds of years of warfare, and is
crowded with the remains of inedei
val fortifications. *
“The villages for miles around have
been combed for able-bodied men of
the peasant class for enforced serv
ice in the digging of trenches be
tween the mountains and the beach,
a distance of ten miles. As the num
ber of troops increased more and
more villages were taken over for bil
leting and the luckless inhabitants
driven out regardless of their future
welfare. Gullies and hollows were
crowded with ponies and mules of
the transport service, the carts being
drawn up in squares much as the old
American pioneers used to assemble
their wagons at night for protection

against the Indians.
“From the early morning, trudging
along the beach the fleeing peasantry
passed from the war zone to what
safety was to be found far to the west
and south, women and children most
ly mounted on diminutive donkeys or
dragging themselves along in the last
stages of exhaustion.
The mobilization accomplished in
a ten-day period up to September 23,
on a one-track railway, Mr. Simpson
describes as a feat pnparalled in the
railway history of China. Although
the railway staff were at first in de
spair at the heresies committed by
the military, trhins being run with
out crews and drawn revolvers taking
the place of orders, they accepted the
situation as it developed and worked
manfully to keep things moving.
At one point on the line the writer
saw five trains coupled together,
making a single train over two miles
long, carrying 4000 men and count
less horses and oxen. They compris
ed the flower of China’s troops.
Orange colored tents were rigged
over the open cars. At intervals came

LAURA JEAN LIBBY’S
POPULARITY IS GONE,
SAYS LIBRARY HEAD
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Dec. 11.—The
books of Laura Jean Libby, author
of countless love and romance stor
ies, whose death occurred recently,
will know no return to popularity,
according to Dr. Paul Paine, librarian
of the Syracuse Public Library and
literary authority.
“Laura Jean Libby’s stories are
of the wishy-washy type,” Dr. Paine
said, “with very little in them of the
lasting degree of material. Despite
the fact they bordered on the friv
olous, her tales could not be classl
ed as vicious. They are absolutely
clean.
