CHINA FINDS IT HARD
TO DISBAND ITS ARMY
Soldiers Love Their Job, and II Not

Peking.-China's toughest problem
now is how to disband the army raised
during the revolution. The government,
hard pressed for money, will have to
raise at least $3O,O0O,OO0 to pay off the
100000 men under arms, and unpaid
soldiers are always a menace In China.
Coolies regard military service as a
very desirable occupation. Once en-
listed 1t is difficult to persuade them to
retire. They riot and become extreme
ly troublesome If an attempt be made
to disband them without liberal pay
ment The commanding officers are
frequently as mercenary as the sol
diers. When the government fails to
give Its soldiers what they regard as
adequate pay the troops frequently be-
come bandits and loot.
Each province has its own military
governor and distinct military organ
