been interviewed recently in Vienna. when
their remarks were as follows:
The work of Transforming the Chinese
army has made such good progress that it
may be expected to be finished within a
years time. 1t can easily be understood
that the army will not be brought all at
once up to the same level, and also that
In those districts of the empire in which
the work of reorganization has been be-
gun some time ago the results Of the pres
ent reform will be developed more quickly
than In other provinces.
1.-THE essential point is that the Chinese
forces. which hitherto have been divided
into various armies varying Very much
both in strength and yalor shall become
entirely uniform in respect to their superior
officers, their drill, equipment. bearing, and
In fact, In every detail. This unihcation
will be seen firstly in the suppression of the
former method OF calling the various armies
after particular provinces. and then by dis
tributing the entire army among army
corps. which will be numbered. The arms
are the same as those used In all modern
armies in the five branches of arms Fhe
old equipment Of arms has been replaced al
ready everywhere by modern material The
uniform OF every branch of arms and the
badges denoting rank, have been duly fixed
The drilling OF the troops throughout the
empire is exactly the same everywhere, and
all the regulations concerning the command.
rank, military monors and the like are now
uniform in the whole of China
Another point OF no less Importance IN
the reorganization Of the Chinese army is
the aD0utlOn or the OLD custom or civil
functionaries being allowed to hold mill
tary positions; such positions, which for
meriy were In the hands of civilians. -sfli

GERS OF the army.
'sThe length Of service has been fixed;
hitherto 1t has been entirely arbitrary;
henceforth it win consist of three years
with the coIors. three years In the reserve
and three years In the militia. The mill
tary authorities are working in the direc-
ton Of introducing conscription by making
1t obligatory on every province to furnish
certain number OF recruits. Thus. at the
end of 1905 China viii have an army OF
more than 100000 men. all regular troops.
and in ten years time 1t viii be able to
raise an army Of 100000 trained soldiers.
Under this new order Of things new
spirit has come over the Chinese army. The
sentiment OF duty. and q liking for mill
tary career have grown considerably among
the Chinese officers as body, while In ali
the ranks of the army there Is visible an
activity which permits us to hope that the
Transformation OF China's military forces
win be crowned with success and establish

The Mems Club OF the Mt Pleasant Con-

bers and guests were present, and the early
part of the evening was devoted to q re-
ception to Commissioners MacfRrland and

: The audience gave the closest attention
to the very interesting summary of the his
tory of the national capital and the ex-
PLANTATION of its relation to the general gov
eminent as given by Commissioner Mac
farland The latter said, in part:
THE national capital was founded by
George Washington, who planned the fed
eral city, which Congress named 1or MIN.
Last of his great deeds. this interested him
more than any other after the winning OF
the revolution and the making of the Con-
stftution Like the Constitution itself, lts
creation was closely related to the finances
of the infant republic. The vsry idea or q
federal district absolutely under natfonai
control for national capital was suggested
by the attempt of the unpaid revolut. onary
soldiers to collect arrears In 1913 by an at
tack With arms which frightened Congress

native washingtonian of talent and force
as its ruling spirit. In 1871 1t took up the
dust covered plans of George Washington
and began the general Improvement OF the
streets and avenues OF washington city.
The time was short and the work was done
hastily and roughly 1.-THE city was oniy
plowed up), but so thoroughly that 1t was
easier to complete 1t than to undo 1t, ana
all the subsequent development has come
from 1t.
''In June, 1875 the act which the United
States Supreme Court terms the constitu-
tion of the District Of Columbia was
passed, and since then the entire District
has been under the executive government
of the Commissioners, which Is actually
government by public opinion. as there Is
no partisan politics, no boss or machine
or partisan newspapers to confuse OF defeat
the voice of the people. Although there Is
general hope that some day Senator Hoar s
proposition to have the national govern
ment bear all the expenses Of the national
capital over and beyond what the District
residents contribute under reasonable av-
erage taxation, the .half-and-half plan Is
ditions preceding it that 1t has been
generally acceptable both in Congress
and in the District. Modern Washington
and it's suburban towns have practically
developed under the present form of gov
eminent. The progress made in twenty five
years Is the sure prophecy of the progress
to be made In the future. The national
capital now that 1t has been fully taken
into the life of the nation, must grow with
its growth-as the country desires. The
population of the District, numbering over
500, 600. with tax levy of about So 100000
under dollar and-a- half-a-thousand rate
and two-thirds assessment. is doing Its
full share for the present and for the flu
sture. AS 1t increases and spreads all over
the hills of the District. until the city of
Washington extends to the District line. it
will do It's part in making this more and
more the most beautiful capital In the
world
At the conclusion of the address the men
of the club joined heartily in singing

Refreshments were served IN the supper
