which accounts for many of the &C.

and the astral color russet brown.
These people have not given them

and they are apt to talk OF them

General Feng doesn't believe it is
efficient TO pass out the sort JOBS
at his disposal TO his friends and
relatives when better men are avail
able. Furthermore, he doesn't be-
lieve that it is any favor to friend
or relative to give him such a job.
Travellers quoted a recent procla-
nation OF the general when he as
sumed command of the province:
"I want TO find the best men for
the administration irrespective of
persons. There are competent men
everywhere; therefore it is abso-
lutely unnecessary that one should
make choice among his own friends
and relatives.
''The trouble with our province is
that there are too many men await
ing appointments. and yet it is very
difficult TO find among them any
man of real ability or experience.

ways leads to serious consequences
