These words, written though they were by one who possesses an unrivalled knowledge of Chin and its people, doubtless aroused considerabla spepticizm in 1900. But it must be admit ted that the signs of the limes in China at present suggest the possibility that, to some extent at least, Sir Robert Hart's pro- phocles may one day be fulfilled. Perhaps the most striking features of the ferment, which is making staalf in China just now, are the growth of patriollo and military fooling and the efforts | davoted to the creation of a modera type of Widely ส floreat opinione have been

But the success with which some of the divisions here, been maintained and equipped suggests that more honest and effent methods aro being in troduced. Up to the present, some eight or mine d ́visions have been already raised, mainly in the north, through the energy of the late Viceroy of Chibli province, Yuan Sbi-Ki, while a number of brigades and other smaller bodies: exist in other parts of the Empire. It is, of Conyse, necessary to avoid exaggerating the nxtent of progress already offanted the value of the forces now in existence, and the angoase likely to be achieved in the fature. Provincial -feeling and jealousy is still strong, the training is defective in many respects; part of the armament is somewhat old, and lacking in uniformity; there is diffealty in finding money

to

support the present troops, so list the intention of raising thirty six divisions is hardly likely to be fulfilled just ret. Abwe all, there is serious lack of capable officers. And in view of the absence of military traditions and the diedsin long filt for the

Holdier's calling, t the morale of the now troops may be of doubtful quality. On the other haud. ampe eat observers have been impressed with the worth of Chinese troops when well discip Ied and le, and there is undoubt that in past cofuries the Chinese nation under rigorous rulers, extended their conquests for across Asia, Compared to European or Japaasas troops, the new Chinese Army must sem of little acount, but compared with the Chinees forces of eve eight years ago it marke a striking improvement, and, if the present rate of progress.be maintained, it some possible that Chins may in the future become a strong military Power. -Times.
