BY ID. NJ. EDWARDS.

Washington, Aug. 15.-China, with
potentially the greatest army in the
world, is now the kaiser's enemy and
China has the greatest manpower in
the world.
She can muster into service within
ately a hardened, well trained, well
equipped army conservativeIy esti-
mated at 100000
She can must into service within
five years 100000 men if the allies
can furnish her so vast an amount of
equipment.
She has been training ten years I'M
der French, German, Norwegian and
Japanese instruction.
She has everything but the money;
that she will ask of the United States.
She will request conferences with
allied representatives soon. She is
anxious to know at once what size
of an army she will be looked to to
furnish and where she will be called
upon to throw her enormous weight.
Human lives are of such small con-
sideration in China that numbers of
men for an army are inconsequential.
If the allies provide the equipment
China will furnish the men.
Men by Millions
An allied military attache who has
just recently returned from several
years in China summed up the Mon
golian value thus:
Men who can sleep on the road
side, live on rice, drink dirty ditch
water, wheel a Chinese wheelbarrow
for thirty miles day and whose phys
ical condition is such that his wounds
heal more quickly than those of any
other nationality, is the prospective
world conqueror.
To illustrate just how dependable
the Chinese soldier is, in 1872 Cen
eral Sand F'o took seventy thousand
against the Gur1as, the best fighting
men of Asia. They marched 500
miles, then 400 miles over the noun
tains at elevations of not less than
10000 feet, beat the Gurkas and then
marched back again. Xenophen's re-
treat was nothing in comp rison
Has $50 Million Men.
China has something like $4,000
| 600 to draw upon. She can provide
25,000,O00 men of military service
ability. She can put forth as many
and as fast as the allies can equip
her. She loses millions of men with
out any apparent effect on her man
power. In the Boxer rebellion 4,00O,-
| 600 men were lost. In the Toia Ping
rebellion 100000 men were killed
I'm the floods and famines millions
are taken away and still China car

Seven of the ten men whose eXemp-

the appeal board were denied eXemp-

vice 1t was a rough beginning for
the farmers. Nine of the ten men
claimed exemption because of agri-
cultural responsibilities. Only two OF
the men made sufficient showing to
win exemptions.
Investigation by the district board
showed that the farm life claims of
seven of the nine exemption claim
ants were not of sufficient merit to
relieve them of army service. On the
showing today 20 per cent of the APP
peaIs would be denied. Only ten
cases were considered during the first
session and of course the showing is
not a clear indication of the record
which will be made in the district.
Appeals from Leavenworth, Marion,
Nemaha. Usage and Wabaunsee coun-
ties were considered.
Vincent s. keranS was exempted
from army service because of a show
ing of physical disability before the

action on the case, however, and had
checked the matter up TO the board.

Members of the draft appeal board

day began active hearings on appeals.
The board held its first hearing this
morning and will report to the press
it's decisions at the end of each ses-
sion. Claimants and lawyers are
barred from the hearing and oral
testimony will not be accepted.
Nearly 800 appeal cases were before
the board this morning. Hundreds OF
other appeals will be perfected in the
next few days and it is believed that
between 1000 and 5000 appeals will
come before the district board as a
result of the first examinations under
the draft act. Shawnee county reg

when the board opened its sessions
today. That was the case of Russell
