There are many supernumeraries in China called bannermen, who come out on state eccasions with rusty swords and spears and give themselves airs, and are reminded that they placed the present dynasty on the throne. They draw large pay for doing nothing, demoralising the army much as the French army was demoralised before the war of 1870. The regulars, on the other hand, are numerous and well dis- ciplined. They carry little baggage, move quickly, are excellent in a harassing war fare, and, if armed with breech-loaders, might prove as obstinate a fee as the Turks at Plevna, For these reasons France cannot proceed too warily. She is smitten with the manla of colonisation.
