PLANNING TO REMODEL
ENTIRE CHINESE ARMY
Soldiers Will Be Equipped With
Uniform Weapons.

Peking.-China's military forces are
to be remodeled from top to bottom.
AS first step arms of the line regi-
ments are to be unified.
A most important conferenc" has just
been held at the Winter palace, the
residence Of Yuan Shih Kai. There
were present, in addition to the presi-
dent and his cabinet and the highest
ranking military and naval officers.
several of the most influential Chinese
not officially connected with the gov
ernment.
Problems of national defense were
touched upon in a brief speech by the
president, who made it clear that he
regards war as the greatest among
apparently necessary evils. His words
made a deep impression upon those
present, and in the discussion which
followed there was absolutely single
mindedness in indorsing Yuan's posi-
ton. The conference decided that new
docks were absolutely necessary; that
the arsenals must be modernized and
expanded; that service in the army
must be popularized and adequately
compensated; that coast defenses must
be established and, where obsolete or
inadequate, reconstructed, and that ma
val bases must be provided for north
and south China.
The principal decision, however, was
that of providing for the unification of
Chinese armaments. The six army di-
visions, investigation has proved, use
ten or more different types of guns. It
is proposed to replace these with one
style which will possess the best fea-
lures of the best modern weapon.
