The Authorization of China.

It is evident that the militarization Of
China has begun in earnest. Naturally,
the first step on large scale is taken in
the northern provinces, in order to pro-
vide for the protection of the capital,
which has always been the objective of
foreign invasion from the sea.
1t is reported from Pekin that the
committee on the reorganization of tho
Chinese Army has laid before the Gov
eminent plan for the introduction Of
universal military service in the empire
the period of service being twelve years
OF these, three would be passed in the
regular army, three in the first reserve,
three in the second and the last three
years in the landwehr The pay would
be about 81 month, and the family
of the conscript would benefit by
exemption from certain taxes or the
dminution of them
The project is for tho provinces to be-
gin by enrolling only thousand men
in each, selected for their aptitude and
intelligence. to form corps of instruc-
tors and the staff OF the future battalions.
The training will it is said, be modelled
partly on the German and partly on the
Japanese systems, the Chinese COM
mission believing that the latter pro-
duces the best results in field service
For the protection of the capital and
the guarding OF the northern frontier,
it is proposed to have a separate and
distinct army, the organization of
which has been confided TO YUAN
sHI-K4I, the Governor General OF the
province of Pechili. This functionary.
who is one of the ablest and most pro-
gressive among the public men OF China,
has received orders TO proceed at once
to the formation of an army of 252 coo
men. organized in forly-two infantry di-
visions, composed of twelve battalons
Of 600 men each, the cavalry and ar
tillery to be organized being additional
The importance Of this action OF the
Chinese Government is manifest. II is
meant, in the FIRST instance. To preclude
a repetition of 1900, when the troops of
coalition Of foreign Powers marched on
the capital practically unopposed and
compelled the hight OF the dynasty ana
in the second place. 10 keep down popu-
lar risings menacng the foreign repre-
sentatives, such a. brought about the
foreign coalition Of that year
The altered conditions for China which
will be brought about by the conclusion
OF the war between Japan and Russia
necessitate the possession Of "A strong
army on the northern border for years
TO come. until the equilibrium thai was
upset by the war Of 1894, and has been
still more disturbed by the present war,
is replaced by something more stable
For the world at large the military or
ganizaton Of population OF 400 100000
OF people hitherto quiescent and sub
missive is a portent for good or evil, as
il may result while for Asia it is the
dawnng of new era.
