says the Atlanta Constitution is the
latest feat of men who are able to
take care of themselves.

sell their crops in the field at almost the
cost of the seeds. To-day Mr.. Miles I.

The Chinese Soldier.

The American troops, together
with those of the other foreign
powers involved in the Chinese
crisis, says the Chicago Record, are
facing for the first time o new sort
of army and new kind Of soldier.
The Chinese military system, it is
known, is incompetent and very
corrupt. But if the native officers
and the ordinance are inadequate,
the imam behind the gum remains
to be reckoned with. If the testi-
mony of some of the most careful
observers of Chinese conditions be
accepted, he is, man for man, wholly
outclassed by soldiers of western
nations, and the strength of the
Chinese resistance must depend not
upon soldierly qualities, but upon
sheer weight Of numbers.
Physically tho Chinese soldier ID

The rank and die Of the army show
an average stature much greater

Beyond this their list of soldIerly
attributes does not go. Lord Curzon
vlceroy of India, who made a spe-
cial study of China's military sys-
tenn, speaks of them as "rabble of
tramps." The element which is
known among occidental armies as
morale is utterly lacking, and there
is only semblance of true discip-
line. In some instances, as iudlcat-
ed in Yesterdays dispatches, they
have provided themselves with
modern guns Of large caliber and
with the best mouern small arms,
but whether they have learned to
use these implements any better
than they did at the time of the war
with Japan is doubtful. Side by
side with these modern rifles and
cannon in the Chinese army may
be seen a motley collection of
muzz!e,loading rifles, spears, tri-
dents, cutlasses and pixies.
Above all, the fighting efficiency
of the Chinese, however much he
may be willing to die in battle, is
weakened by the defects in the
military system and the corruption
and incompetence of his native Off
GERS. The military profession is of
but small account in China, even
officers are rated low in the social
scale. Until very recently, at least,
the Chinese "army Of the eight
banners as it is called, has num-
bered nominally between 100000
and 800, 900 men, comprising eight
corps each of MaLchus, Mongols
and Chinese. In addition there is
the Ying Ping, or national army,
with a nominal strength of from
$4,000 to 100000 men, who really
form o territorial militia. These,
with mercenaries and irregulars,
make up nominally force ofl 900.
600 men on a war footing, or of
100000 on a peace footing. The
figures look formidable, but they
give an exaggerated idea of the
strength of China, even supposing
that all divisions of the army in the
present case haYe joined hands with
the Boxers. Nor is it to be forgot
ten that the Chinese soldiery, ex'
cept in the case of few regiments
under European officers, and are
undrilIed. They are not taught to
.skirmish or to shoot. The sole re-
cruiting test is the ability to lift a
certain weight above the head.
1t may be significant that the
foreign troops in China have en-
countered their severest opposition
IN the district where is stationed
the Tien Tsin army corps, the best
paid and best organized corps in
China and one which has been train.
