THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH WEDNESDAY, MAY 28, 1902.

"There is a "closer" connection than might. appear at first sight, says the Englishman, between the statement to be inferred from recent Reuter's telegram that the home authorities have finally decided on a new rifle. and the report, published in a Hombay paper, that a Russian steamer has succeeded in dis posing of 60.000 rifles at Buuder Abbas. The curious, may often have wondered what he comes of the rifles which are discarded when a nation adopts a new weapon. We believe the English are about the only nation in the world who can find a legitimate use for out of date In India they are handed on to the weapons. Volunteers, and subsequently to the police. The Volunteers now have the Martini-Henri, tribal levies have the Snider, land policemen elcorting treasure may to this day be seen strutting about with the oldf Brown Bess over their shoulders. When the arms are absolutely ubeless they are broken up, to prevent them from getting into the hands of

arms by auction, but it has to be remembered that rifles are made for the anny in thousands by private companies. When model so made is discarded for the troops, the companies are not so foolish as to set aside the expensive machinery they had erected. They continue making the same rifle at a lower price for export. There is a tremendous demand among savage peoples particularly in the region of the Persian Gulf and Red Sea for Martini-Henris.as and engineer. Later on we may expect the same demand for Lee-Metfords. Again when the armies of other nations are rearmed the old weapons are sold in the market for what they will fetch. The rifles are bought up in thousands by speculators for a few shillings each, and shipped abroad for sale. It follows, therefore, that every development in fire-anns is followed by an. increase in the armed strength of savage peoples who are foes of civiliscation,

The bearing of the above facts on Persian politics is obvious. The

A ENORMOUS: QUANTITY OF ARMS in the country has surprised every traveller, As we have pointed out before many politicians are in the habit of talking and writing as if the fature of Persia was to be settled by some European power without reference to the wishes of the Persians themselves.

CORRUPTION IN THE ARMY, which is badly paid, but corruption in the army does not in Mussalman countries, as the Turks have again and again shown, necessarily con- note military inefficiency, Lord Curzon in his work on Persia makes some very severe remarks about the Persian army, but he expresses ad miration for the material of which the army is composed. He quotes with approval Sir Henry Rawlinson who once said that Persia would be turned to account some day as a nursery for soldiers." The Persian, considered as a mere animal, is so very superior to any other Asiatic, to an Indian, or Turk or even Russian, that it is impossible to avoid foreseeing that, as any European war becomes developed in the East, the military resources of Persia must be called into action. There is no reason why Persia should not use her resources on behalf of herself
