Picking, Dec. 16.-Reasons why the
Chinese army, altho it numbers half a
million men on paper, can not be en-
ployed to defend the republic against
an aggression, are set forth openly in
an official explanation by President
Yuan Shi-kai.
He says, in effect, that altho the
military expense is the largest item in
the governmental bills, the evil prac-
tice of declaring false numbers Of
troops continues to the detriment OF
the republics defensive power.
