Mr. Wolfe added that he was The Brst to arm the Chinese Police. He presumed that pre- viously they had not been thought competent or trustworthy enough to be given arms. His reason for arming the Chinese Police was because armed robbers had taken to carrying pistols. Up to the middle of the War, he explained, armed robbers only carried knives, and other weapons were rarely used.
