interesting III this connection is the
statement, lacked up by several inter
views. that the colonial officers who
have served in the South African war
find themselves so much more effective
than the imperial officers that they have
lost all the awe which they once hau
for the latter, and now regard them
with a mixture of amusement and con-
tempt. The colonial is n good soldier
for precisely the same reason that the
American and the Boer are good fight
ing men-because he and his father and
grandfather have been more or less ac-
customed to fighting on their own ac-
count. The Canadian ard the Aus
tralian troops have been doing more or
less police duty ever since they came
into being. and before that there was
time when every man must be his own
policeman If he did not wish to ma ms
house and farm devastated and ms
family killed. some fine evening. on
the other hand, Mr.. Archibald tells
story of a regiment of Edinburgh men
who called themselves the Edinburgh
Sharpshooters" because they thought II
was a pretty name, but none of whom,
with a very few exceptions, had ever
handled a rifle, If any of that regiment
came into contact with the wiry Cana
dian or the long-limbed trooper from
New South Wales, the colloquy must
have been interesting.
1t is a mistake to believe that any
business can be run on traditional in
stead of practical lines. and the bust
ness of warfare is perhaps less adapted
to such methods than any other bust
ness in the world. If the lives of few
thousand men depend on their ability to
dig trenches in hurry, they should not
be taught to depend for their trenches
upon the more or less certain arrival of
another set of men whose business is to
dig and do nothing else. They should
be taught to raise a shelter for them
selves with a tin plate or the top of
mess tin if they have to. If the health
of an army is affected by having to
camp out in the mud without proper
shelter, the men should, when possible,
be provided with shelter tents or rub
Der blankets. An army of tramps in
Coxey uniforms, who can shoot and live
on scanty rations and endure fatigue,
would be better than a crack regiment
in beautiful uniforms, without rife
practice or endurance. These are prin-
ciples which the civilized world is be-
ginning TO discover, with the aid of
foes who are not civilized and do not
always play the game according to rule

Circulation Statement.
Germany I'm China.

The Washington Government appar-
entity is not the only one that wishes
itself well out of the Chinese muddle
Germany, too, If we may believe press
reports. would gladly be clear OF the
business; but it is not one as easily
liuuidated as could be wished There Is
vet trouble to be anticipated in connec-
ton with the indemnity question, and
the situation may not be mended by the
announced intention of France to with
draw eight thousand of her troops al
once.
The consequences which may attend
a rapid diminution of the foreign mill
tary forces inychinp are not easy 10 ar
rive at. The Ministers in Pekin appear
to think that no damage will result
but those of them who are moving fol
the summer to the western hills rev
miles distant are taking strong guards
along, showing that they do not consid-
or Europeans safe outside of the city
walls. If that be true of the environs
of the capital, where the allied soldiers
are in force, it must be equally If not
more so elsewhere.
The Berlin Government doubtless rec
ognizes possible embarrassment IN be-
ing left to do most of the protection
duty and most of the fighting when
France and Russia are out of China,
and would be extremely glad to end the
situation. The Chinese adventure,
promising as it may have seemed at the
start. and necessary to German dignity
and honor as ii undoubtedly was, has
not failed to give rise to domestic OPP
position and grumbling. This, COM
bined with the implacable attitude of
the powerful German asrarian party,
on the subject of the Emperor's canal
programme, is giving the executive at
Berlin a hard task. In this connection,
it is as well for Americans to remember
that it is the Agraria.ns who are respon-
sible for the war on American food
products, and not the Kaiser. They
have forced the hand of the imperial
Government on more than one occasion
in matters of fiscal policy and legisla-
ton, and they are still able to exert a
huge influence upon German politics
and economics, as they are composed
of the large landholders-the territorial
nobility. The agrarian power in Ger
many answers in rlany respects, and
very much in results, to that of the
trusts and monopolies in the United
States. They are all difficult if not i'm
possible of control, and are selfish, dis
tinctly oppressive, and obnoxious. But
that fact does not seem to help much
toward their reform from without. OF
their reform from within, apparently,
there is no hope.

EXPECTS TO RETURN TO CHINA.
Mr.. Conger Says Little About Affairs
in the Far East.

Edwin H. Conger. United States Minis
ter to China, called at tie State Depart
ment yesterday and had a conference
with Acting Secretary Hill on matters re-
lating to China. He also. called on Third
Assistant Secretary Cridler.
MIR. Conger said he was here to obtain
official news from China and to learn the
situation since his departure from Pekin,
as shown by official dispatches from w.
w Rockhill. the Special Commissioner;
IL G. Squiers, Charge d'Affaires. and the
representatives of the United States. Mr.
Conger did not care to talk about his
conference with the Acting Secretary 9TH
er than to say it was satisfactory He
said he would return to Pekin at the ex-
piraron of his leave. which will be July
l. He will see the President, however.
before leaving for China
Mr.. COnger arrived here Wednesday
night. He is the guest OF his brother-in-
law. Captain Edwards, u. 5. A He will
probably leave for his home tomorrow
night.
Friends of Minister Cenger say that if
he can be assured of the nomination for
Governor of Iowa he will not return to
pekin, but will resign and begin active
preparation for the campaign. The Iowa
Republican State Convention meets in
august.
In his conversation with State Depart
ment officials Mr.. Coager expressed the
opinion that China would not be able 10
nav the indemnity demanded by ma
ioritv Of the Powers. which is in the
nsighhorhood of $3.50 cocoon. lie said that
il would he necessary for the Chinese
Government to issue bonds to raise the
money and il would be practically impos-
sible to have these guaranteed. He did
not say how much he believed China
would be able to pay.

AGAINST THE PREMIUM PLAN.
SecOnd-Class Mail Privileges May He
Denied Certain Publications.

What is believed to be an organized
circular effort to oppose the contem-
plated readjustment of second-class mail
matter by the Postoffice Department has
been brought to the attention of the au-
thorities by publishers who favor the
proposed adjustment. Several weeks ago
Edwin c. Madden, Third Assistant Post
master General, issued a circular letter
asking publishers of daily newspapers.
weekly newspapers, and magazines
whether a general rule excluding from
the privilege of second-class matter all
publications with subscription lists made
up by means of premium inducements
would operate to the advantage or disad-
vantage of legitimate publications. Sew
enty per cent of the replies have been
favorable.
Nearly every daily newspaper in the coun-
try. many of the weekly magazines, and
many monthly publications have replied
that such a limitation would more nearly
correct present abuses of the second class
privilege than any other plan so far pro-
posed. The saving to the department, il
is believed, would be well over $40 O00, 900
annually. Several of the publishers who
have since replied to this effect have sent
the department second letters apprising
the Postmaster General that circulars in
opposition to the plan are being circu-
copies of these circulars are being sent
many members of Congress. With so
general an endorsement from the great
body of publishers it is not believed this
method of opposing the change in the
service can succeed.

NO FURTHER EXTENSION.
The Appropriation for Rural Free
Delivery NearIy Exhnusted.

Computations made yesterday at the
postofiice Department disclose that the
generous allowance for rural free de-
livery during the next fiscal years., 500, =
000-is already nearly expended. In conse-
quence the de partment must cease planning
further extensions of the system until
either the appropriation for the fiscal
year beginning July ], 1902, shall become
available, or Congress shall vote an in
creased allowance for the year beginning
next July. There are now on file a suffi-
cient number of applications to exhaust
about s., O00,00 more than the appropria-
ton.
The whole number of rural routes now
in operation is about 1900, each of which
costs annually between 500 and $1,000. To
continue these routes next year will cost,
therefore, something over 100000. APP
proximately 500 routes are already ordered
established by July /, making an increase
in cost of maintenance of about $500, coo.
Additional clerical allowances in the de-
partment salaries for inspectors, and their
per diem allowances, the purchase of
equipment. and other expenses incidental
to the operation of so large a business
have already eaten a great hole in the
100000 balance above the items indi-
Gated. If half the petitions or.rural free
delivery now on file should be granted the
whole appropriation would be more than
exhausted.
No official statement to this effect has
been prepared and none is likely to he
made until the Postmaster General shall
have returned from his tour with the
President II is very likely Mr.. Smith
VIII issue general announcement that
the department cannot now contemplate

livery service with its present financial
