CHINA is DISRANDING
ITS TREMENDOUS ARMY
There Are 100000 Soldiers Under
Arms in the Various Provinces.

Pekin, Dec. S-China's greatest
problem at present is how to disband
the tremendous army which has come
into existence during the revolution
now drawing to a close. The latest fig
ures compiled by the government indi-
cate that there are 500 900 soldiers
under arms in the various provinces.
AT least thirty million dollars silver
will be required to pay off these SOL
diers and secure their peaceful return
to their regular occupation.
Unpaid soldiers are always a men
ace in China Each province has it's
own military governor and a distinct
military organization, presumably I'M
der control of the Picking authorities,
but actually quite independent in most
cases. Consequently. the Picking gov
eminent is forced to deal very diplo-
matically with the military organiza-
tons in the provinces, particularly in
the remote provinces which lack ade-
quate means for speedy communica-
ton.
Chilli province, in which Picking is
located. has a greater number of SOL
diers than any other. At present there
are ia, 1000 men under arms in this
province. Kwangtung province, of
which Canton is the capital. comes
second with $4,000 troops. This prov
ince has been in constant state of tur-
MOL for six months. but General Lung
has finally consented to retire from
the military. governorship. and take
most of his soldiers with him to the
island Of Hainan. This will make it
possible for General Lu, the newly ap-
pointed military governor, to take
charge Of affairs in Canton and bring
the revolutionary movement in
Kwangtung province to a close.
Chinese coolies regard military SER
vice as a very desirable billet. Once
they are enlisted in the army. it is
very difficult to persuade them to re-
tire. Consequently. they riot and be-
come extremely troublesome If an at
tempt be made to disband them with
out liberal payment. The command
ing officers are frequently as mercen-
airy as the soldiers. and civilians have
a great dread of disgruntIed troops.
When the government fails to give it's
soldiers what they regard as adequate
pay, the troops frequently become
bandits and loot until they have gain
ed the reward they feel they should
have from the government.

by the court was much more danger
Gus than the basis of the Danbury
case.
The complaints in the coal mine
suits, in the words OF the Wall Street
Journal, ''set forth the attempts Of
the United Nine Workers to prevent
the operation Of open shop mines in
the States OF Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginia and Colorado, and allege that
these attempts were part of a general
scheme to monopolize interstate trade
for union coal, and to further prevent
the operation Of open shop mines;
that in furtherance of this scheme the
defendants determined to destroy the
competition of open shop mines by
preventing the operation of these
mines"
If this decision stands, any union
that calls a strike will be liable for
any damage the employer may meet
as a result of that strike. II tho strike
prevents the sale of commodities and
causes the loss Of market the union
must meet the damages.

ANALYSES AND ASSAYS OF ROCKS
What the Geological Survey Can Do
With Your Specimens.

The question Is frequently asked Of
the United States Geological Survey,
Department of the Interior, what is
the difference between an assay, an
analysis, and an expert examination
Of a specimen Of rock or mineral
such a specimen as may be sent to the
Geological Survey by anyone who has
found or thinks he has found a valu-
able mfneral?" Most of the SURVEYS
correspondents ask for assays of their
specimens, others ask for analyses,
and few appear to distinguish be-
tween the two. The Geological Sur
vey can make neither an assay nor an
analysis for private parties; it can
however, make a visual inspection of
a specimen, or 1t can make simple
the specimen contains a commercial
amount of some valuable mineral,
such as potash. Ninety-nine out of
every hundred specimens submitted to
the Survey are found to be CONNER
c1ally valueless. Such an inspection,
or tests, however, is widely different
from an analysis. A complete analy-
sis of a rock that is composed of many
different minerals may require the
more or less Continual attention of a
chemist for a month or six weeks, and
such work is done by the Survey only
in connection with it's own scientific
Investigations An assay, on the
other hand, is usually a fire test
made to determine the exact metal
content of an ore specimen, The
Geological Survey makes no ASSAYS,
for private parties.

its Bulletin 422, by w. F. Hillebrand,
entitled "The Analysis Of Silicate and
Carbonate Rocks. This is a revision
of Bulletin 3G5, which avas so highly
valued in Germany that it was there

Clayton law as reason why they
should not be prosecuted under the
antitrust law.
The court paid no attention to this
clause but ruled that labor organiza-
lions can be sued and held RESPONSE
BILE to the same extent as individuals
and corporations.
Moreover, the court referred tc that
section of the decision in the Dam
bury hatters' case which held that the
members of labor unions are liable
for whatever is done by their union
through it's officers within their dele
gated authority.
This Is the very thing against
which unions have been fighting from
the day Of their formation. 1t was
not until this provision of the COM
mon law was removed in England and
in the United States that Unions were
possible, except as secret conspira-
