Ward, a native Of Salem, Mass, who
as a soldier of fortune drifted into Chi
ma during the Tapping rebellion, when
1t seemed likely that the great empire
was in process of disintegration. He
threw himself into the breach not from
patriotic, but mercenary motives. He
offered TO take a city for so much mon
ey and the loot, and he drilled a rabble
of Chinese ruffians into one of the best
disciplined corps the world had seen.
When he came upon the scene. in
1859. the great rebellion had been rag
ing about ten years and seemed wholly
beyond the governments control. He
gave it the first real check, as city after
city fell before the onslaught of his SOL
diers, who were the offscourings of
Shanghai docks and Differed by de-
serters from the British navy. Chinese
Ward" became the most prominent
man in China at that time; he married
a mandarin's daughter, was created a
general of the imperial army, and be-
fore his death. from wounds received in
service, he was made a mandarin of

oraticns of the yellow jacket and dou-
bic peacock feather"

erected a temple in his honor. and "the
Yankee sailor was enshTined among
the protective deities of the Chinese
pantheon"
And well he might have been. for he
had done more for China in military
sense than all the gods they ever vor-
SHIPPED from the times Of the great Con-
fucius down TO the day OF his advent
He had taken q mob of sheeplike China
men and hammered it into that mag
nifcent corps which earned under him
the title Of the ever victorious army"

successor, Chinese Gordon" who. mere

TIE STRANGE ARMY OF CHINA

! is very much like that known In the
United States army as the Texas
grip"
The artilierymen differ from the in
fantry in one feature, and that is they
have no gongs, believing their guns
make sufficient noise to brighten away
the enemy. But, although powder is
said 10 be Chinese invention and
their use of cannon very ancient, the
Celestials seem TO have made no prog
ress since these were invented. During
the opium war, as it was called, their
English opponents nearly split their
sides laughing at the cannon balls that
came rolling out of their guns and
scarcely ever reached the mark they
aimed at, but dropped, spent, only a
few yards away
They still use that Anticipated piece OF
ordnance known as the ''jingal," which
is a small swivel rudely mounted, and
an English officer mentions one cannon
that he saw which had been split in fr-
ing and was still in service, being bound
up with strips of bamboo tied on with
strings. None of the Chinese cannon
has any sights, and even those sup
piled by Europeans were most of them
deprived Of such appliances. and the
consequence is that the artillery prac-
tice is extremely poor.
There is, however, one adjunct to the

The crux of this situation may be eX-
pressed in a single sentence: Down
with the n-kuwai'-down with the
white faced dog" This hatred of for
eigners is ingrained, and nothing on
earth seems likely to avail to remove
Ii so long as the millions who inhabit
China are STEPPED in ignorance and su-
perstition. Example and eXpostula-
ton are alike wasted upon these peo-
pie. The only argument they can IN
derstand is force. and the problem to
be solved by the powers is how to ap-
ply that force. for the Chinese. as indi-
viduals and collectively, are insensibie
to an ordinary chastisement; they have
been brought up on deeds Of cruelty
until torture and death have no terrors,
and neither threats of Acknowledgement
as nation nor of extinction as a peo-
pie can move them.
The strength of China lies in its
masses: its weakness in its army. Nj
merically strong. with its 400, 900 600
people compressed within comparative
" restricted boundaries. China is yet
strUctUrally weak, depending as it does
