 L: Hung Chang fought his way Up in the face of the bitterest opposition, and as he forced his way ID he forced China up with him, compelling her to adopt improvements that have given the country her present standing among progressive nations.
 Romantic literature doesn't furnish q stronger story than that which covers the rise of Li Hung Chang from ob. scurity to fame He was born Febru~ ary II, 1922, and lis biographers have failed to find any great names in his pedigree.
 When twenty-five years old he was locally known for his erudition, and was appointed to a small office. It was in 1861, when 39 ye IFS old, that he dem- onstrated what kiad of metal was in him. He had reached the position of taotai, or prefect, of the district of Xii angsu, which was then h0tbed of re-. volt. His success in putting down the rebellion there was so remarkable that a year later he was appointed acting general of the forces about Shanghai and Sung Kiang. There is where his masterfuI knowledge of European af- fairs showed itself He was the one man in China who recognized the in feriority of the Chinese arms and the inconY eteney of its military code.
 He engaged European generals and made the army learn the tactics of modern warfare. It was during that period that Chinese" Gordon, after- wards killed in khartoum by Fl Maf- his troops while defending the British garrison there, was engaged. So also were the French ganefals, Bungoveine and Giguei. This was what is known as the Tai-Ping rebellion, perhaps the largest and bloodlest of Chinese his- tory. More than half the entire coun- try had risen, the purpose being to restore the Ming dynasty, which the Tartars had turned out.
 It is on record that 27,000,0O0 persons were killed during this rebellion. But It was put down fnally by the directing arm of Li Hung ChaLg, and in recog- hilton of that invaluable service he was made governor Of Kiargsu, impe- rial commissioner for foreign trade, general of all the Chinese forces, and supreme adviser to the throne
