The reorganization of the National Government in Nanking, the appointment of heads of Departments and all the other evidences of progress seem to have had little effect on the condition of the country at large. The Chinese press is largely taken up with reports of the terrible scourge of banditry in widespread area. A few items from one day's news will illustrate this point. The Chine Times has a letter Trom its correspondant in Pengpu, the large military centre where the Peking-Tientsin railway crosses the

The Land Is Desolate, "On the twentieth day of the present month (October) the Honan bandit, Li Lao Moh, broke into our midst. He was even ferver than his predecessors.

The most fiendish of his cruelties is to bind children te each other with a wire, pierced through the palms of their hands, then to heap straw around them and set it on fire for the amuse- ment of his men. Quite recently. three companies of General Fan's men have joined them and they grow bolder in consequence and have advanced on the district city. The city itself is in danger and there are men within its walls, wearing the uniform of soldiers and armed with maga- ziuc rides, who are in league with the robbers outside.
