They were anxious and eager to know if I could inform them if Russia had any interest in the Canton-Hankow railway that was about to be constructed, they said, with French capital. They also asked if the Chinese had yet granted the Russians Concession in Shanghai, as many rumours were current in Japan to that effect.

Looking at this, an English officer, of high rank and many experiences, summed it all up in the one word "Pathetic."
PERHAPS USELESS. And so it is. None of us who have watched
these amamuvres with keen and appreciative Interest so far can doubt for a moment that the French soldier would go to his sacrifice with all the courage, dash, and hemic.devotion of old days. Troops that can endure fatigue and hardships as these men do, pulling them- selves together alter long marches to swing through a town or village with steps that show no trace of weariness, are not likely to be baulk- ed by bullets when the rapture of battle is on them. But it would be a sacrifice all the same, and perhaps useless,
No troops in that formation could assault a position under fire from modern weapons, with out terrible losses, which brave men might sustain once or twice, and yet win their way to victory; but none could stand the ordeal often. And it isfcertain that, reckless exposure as we see it in these manoeuvres repeatedly could end in nothing but disaster.
The rank and file are obviously taught to despise cover. At any rate they never take advantage of it, boldly advance to within two hundred yards of their enemies or teas, and there stand bolt upright, the two lines blazing at each other, until one is ordered to retire.

STRAIGHT Even the artilery, which, as a rule, is handled with scientific ability, will attempt to stay the advance of infantry by galloping to a position close enough for case shot to be effective, and there unlimbering under a fire that must have swept every gunner away. On the assumption that infantry shoot straight, such-tactics must mean inevitable disaster.
In manoeuvres, however, very few of the French line regiments show that they can shoot straight. I have watched a company, firing as fast as they could, reload with their rifles at all angles; not one man in twenty taking "aim,
