During these months we have
seen a widespread revolt in China
with utter disorganization of the en-

pectedly break out between Italy
and Turkey In China there has
doubtless been much excuse for
the revolt because of tyranny and
misgovernment and this tyranny and
disagreement have been greater
than in any really civilized nation,
and have an army very much less
efficient than that of any other
civilized power.
