The only adverse criticism I have heard is to the effect that after all the Chinese as soldiers lack morale, that they serve in the army for dollars only, and thai on the outbreak of war there would be heavy desertions, which would demoralise the rest and render their training of no avail. this I do not agree. I think those who would build upon this supposition might receive a rude awakening. There is nothing so demo ralising as a consciousness that one is ignorant of the duties ont is expected to
