This reorganization scheme is at the present stage so far advanced that in Chi-Li three Chinese divisions and a strong mixed brigade of Manchus, both of the Active- Ariny, have already been formed, while similar steps are being taken in Shantung, Hou, and Shansi. In other provinces, of the West and South, the same work is being pushed forward, in spite of the groat difficulty in China, abero all countries, of mattituting a new for an old system of things.

Seven years ago, during the Boxer troubles, only a very all number were turned out by the Military School at Tientsin, founded by Bi-Hung-Chang, and similar embryonic establishments at Nanking, Canton, Wu- chang, Ningpo, and in Manchuria, Tho greater part had no toilitary value what- prer. Opium, smokes to a man, grossly ignorant, and bully paid, they misappro priated the pay of the scldiers, could not rido, and rarely over vontured on the drill ground, leaving "ku a few juniors, who had been trained on the German model, the task of teaching the inon certain automatic wovoments of little fighting value. In short, the Chinese army, although possess ing magnificent raw material, was useless for war, because, except a fow captains and lieutenanto, its oflicers were utterly deti. cient both nanerically and professionally.
