the ringmaster made his first announce

Shetland ponies entered the arena and

press agent Frank Gentry, was having a

GEN. ENGLISH, OF YANKTON,
STILL SHOWS ACTIVITY
An Associated Press Dispatch from
St. Paul, Mimi, Confirms the

The Journals exclusive story OF the effort
of the Chinese government to officer it's
army with American soldiers is again con-
firmed in the following Associated Press
dispatch from st. Paul, Mimi:
Evidence that the Chinese government
is recruiting officers for the Chinese i'm

equal to a commission for a second lieu

enrolled as an officer in the Chinese service
and that his grade would not be lower than
that of second lieutenant. a special to
the Dispatch from Yankton, S. D., says
that Mr. English admits he is securing re-
cruits for the Chinese army. but there is
nothing especially significant in the move
ment now, as the plan or securing Ameri-
can officers had its inception long before
the Russo-Japanese war begun. He says
the Chinese government, being DESTROYS of
improving the efficiency of it's military
service and after casting about among the
various governments for material for Off
GERS who would bring the imperial army
TO the desired standard of efficiency, de-
cided that American officers were the most
desirable because they would not expect
any special territorial concessions for serv-
ices rendered.
He is quoted as saying that owing to
the strict neutrality observed by the Amer
lean government in the present Russo
Japanese war. all accepting service with
the Chinese government will leave the
United States as individuals. They will
receive the same pay as officers OF equal
rank in the United States.
