Thinks Little Of chinese Army.

DR.. Morrison, the well-known CORE
spondent of the London Times at Pc
king, went to see the recent maneu-
vers Of the modernized Chinese army
in the neighborhood of Chang-te-fu.
He describes them as repetition of
the performance of 1905-a set piece
carefully prepared long beforehand by
number of Japanese advisers. The
inefficiency of the officers is still con
spicuous and the field training of the
men inadequate, but the material is
good. DR.. Morrison hints that with,
out Japanese officers to direct affairs
the contending armies would have
been little better than a rabble.
