An entire town has recently been

days of heavy taxation, would be
happy if such a state of things pre-
vailed in this country.

FIVE MILLION MEN.
That Is the Number Which China
Could Put in the Field,
Why Veteran European Command
ers Shake Their Heads Over tho
Question Of Invading the
Interior Of the Empire.

The stiff fight put up by the Chinese
forces about Picking and Tientsin,
whether by Boxers or the regular
troops, has opened the eyes of En-
ropean and American writer's, who, re-
Numbering the ease with which Chi
nese Gordon" marched across the en-
pire. with less than 10000 men, had i'm
agined that the allied armies would
have an equally easy time. We are
now awakening to the fact that since
the Gordon invasion German, Japan
csc and Russian officers, who have
been timely employed drilling the ma
tives have made good fighters out. of
the fanatics-always easy to do if you
know the trick. In consequence of
this the veteran commanders in
charge of the various contingents Of
the powers on the scene are moving
with great caution. If the few be-
leaguered foreigners in the coast cities
can be saved, they will consider them
selves exceedingly fortunate, while as
to the proposal Of an invasion of the
Interior the generals are obviously
shaking their heads.
The subjugation of the Chinese en-
pire is not a matter of a moment even
If the powers come to any certain
agreement as to apportionment and
action. The empire will put up a good
fight, and is Overwhelmingly the
stronger in point of numbers. 6uppos-
ing that the Chinese empire armed in
the same proportion as do other states,
