Captain Smith while in China obtained
permission from the Chinese government
to visit divisions of troops at Wuchang,

1.-TWO or three years ago a large num-

sent from China to Japan to complete
their educations, but within the last two
years there is reason to believe that
fewer are going, as the Chinese authori-

Captain Smith declares. when speaking
of the Japanese question: The Japanese
are undoubtedly responsible for portion

Captain Smith is of the opinion that

be the best guarantee of peace in the far
