fording fewer men employment but
assuring steady work for those re-

American delegation which went into

army, would not interpose any objec-

AT the time of the settlement of the
Boxer difficulties many years ago, one
of the conditions imposed upon China
by the powers was that further impor-
tation of firearms into China should
be prohibited. This provision, how
ever, is said to have been "more hon
