Rebel Judgment and Poise.

This has had a good effect. and no for
eigner has suffered, although there is a
distinct feeling here that time may come
when, somewhere, mobs may get beyond
control This attitude toward foreigners
shows that at the bottom OF all this there
are good judgment and poisc, for injury to
foreigners would mean foreign interference
and blasted revolutionary hopes
Another evidence of organization. scarce
ly less important than the foregoing is to
be seen in the aptitude and readiness Of
the rebels TO take advantage OF a situa-
tion. Twice within the last six weeks events
embarrassing to the government have oc-
Cured, and i'm each instance the rebels
have made the most OF it. The earlier trou-
bles in Sze-Chuen province were not at
first revolutionary, but they soon became
so. The first riots grew out of an agi-
tation against the governments policy for
the naturalization Of the railways, which
the people themselves wished TO build. The

FRENCH ARMY EFFICIENT
Never So Well Prepared, Military
Spirit Never So Intense.
tBy Gable to The Tribune. ]

Paris. Sept. 16.-Military critics re-
turned from the grand manpuvres near
Villersexel are unanimous in declaring
that the French army has never shown
so high a degree Of preparation for war
nor such intense military spirit as dur
ing the difficult and complicated opera
tions Of n week ago around Belfort,
which they describe as being the most
successful that have ever taken place
in France.
A distinguished foreign artillery officer
tells your correspondent that he was as
founded at the rapidity Of movement OF
the French field batteries. He says the
French 75-millimetre cannon is unques-
tionably the best in Europe. This gun
discharges from twenty to twenty-five
shots g. minute and each piece is pro-
vided, when in action, with three thou
sand rounds of ammunition.
The same high military authority IS
enthusiastic in praise of the French in
fantry, and expresses the opinion that
the readiness OF the French army for a
compaign In midwinter Is absolutely
complete which is not the case, accord /.
ing to my informant, with the German
army.
French commanders remember that
Marshal Turenne's brilliant campaign in
Alsace was undertaken in the depth Of
an unusually cold winter, that Auster-
litz was won on December and that
Eylau was fought in the midst Of a
! snowstoTm.

retention of German reservists with the
colors because of the Moroccan situation
were set at rest to-day by an official state
ment that all Of these, in accordance witf
orders issued last March, were being dis
missed within three days following theil
return from the manpuvres.
Reports that Great Britain, Holland anC
