Excerpt from The Second Revolution in China, 1913: My Adventures of the Fighting Around Shanghai, the Arsenal, Woosung Forts My descriptions may perhaps contain facts which will not probably appeal to all of my readers who may not have been soldiers, as being connected with the work of a newspaper man, but when one has worn the coat of H. M. the Emperor Francis Joseph I. of Austria's army as I have, it will be easily understood I took no account of the risks, and went as far as I could when collecting the news during the fighting. Desiring to serve the public with as authentic and as real a report about the last episode in China's history, I have tried my best to fulfil my duty as a newspaper man, and now submit my labours to an indulgent public.
