Chinese who have obtained military
education in Europe and in the United
States.
There will be. however. a steadily in
cressing number of officers educated in
China. Already the great Oriental re-
public has several first class military
schools, with Japanese, British. and
French instructors. Only the sons OF
the mobiles and gentry Of the realm are
admitted TO these academies.
Recruits Well Trained.
Recruits for the army are arduously
and thoroughly Trained In 1907 the
then-existing Imperial government ji-
rected that military instruction shOu d

quick to learn. and. when hardened h.
training is able to undergo a vast deal
OF fatigue. He never complains OF

portant. his veneration for authority

Chinese Can Fight.

regarded rs a Joke. II is not because he
cannot fight. but for the reason that =

are commonly denied admission to

song entitled Il Did Not Raise Nv Boy

popularity. We are a good deal more

agine-at all events. in our point Of
view as regards military affairs.

Chinese soldiers could do when prop

during the great TAPPING rebellion,
which lasted 1S years from 1852 to
1861. and cost 50.000.000 lives. Entire
