ADVERTISING DEPARTMENT.
THE CHINESE ARMY,
The approaching autuma manœuvres are sore to draw the attention of the Eastern world, and to a less extent, of the great world outside, to the Chinese army, What is the truth about it? Is it the negligible quantity that it was at any time during the last century, or has there been a real new birih ?' The ques- tion is important and opportune, and the first part of the spswer to it is-that there is a Chinese army, observes a correspondent in the N. C. D. News.
This is not a quibble. It is a fact of much weight and more military importance. There
are two Viceregat armies, the pet schemes of two progressive Viceroys, and there are other contingents, more or less useless, of other satraps, but of a really national army such as, the term covers elsewhere, there is none. There is therefore, none of the strength which comes from union. That has yet to be achieved,
ИБ
Many were the encomiums last year after the conclusion of the maneuvres up north, attachés and correspondents vied with each other in their praises of the troops and skilful manner in which they had been handled. Old China hands rubbed their eyes, and asked : Can the leopard indeed change his spots? They were sceptical, notwithstanding the unanimity of the chorus. Subsequent investiga. tion has shown
that much of this exaggerated eulogy was due to the excep tionally hospitable treatment which one and all received from the hands of his Excellency Yuan. There was what the late Poet Laureato calls "a vinous mist" between the onlookers and the most delicate of the manœuvres, and it is difficult to see clearly through such a me- dium. It was allowed on all sides that great strategy was shown on the occasion, and that it had its full effect on the correspondents waS evident from their reports. It is, moreover,, conceded that there is, in the breezy autumn atmosphere of the northera provinces, an exbi- Falutation which can only be likened to the effect
of dry champagne.

It is not intended to deny that there has been. progress in the two armies referred to. Im- provement there has been without question. But as yet it is but the promise of what may be, if there is perseverance in well doing, and by wall doing is meant honest effort of every description, Chinn bas always had the raw material of a good army, Bhe now has some- thing of equal importance, if it lasts; an altered outlook for the soldier, especially for the officer. Up to the present time the literati, who give the tone to native opinion, have looked down upon the fighting man. It is question- able whether they do not still. But for a while at any rate they have agreed to sink their con sempt for the soldier, and some at least have ac- tually joined the ranks. It is none the less true, however, that men of real influence in "* the army are rare. And the proportion which has any real knowledge of military scienca. is still smaller. Yuan Yuen-tai, the son of the great Viceroy, has served abroad. But he at the moment is hunting down Hunghuize.
That the sceptical were right last year cannot be doubted when it is remembered that the creation of an army is a matter of many years. A single glance through such a book as Wol. seley's Soldier's Pocket Book" is sufficient to show the most ignorant that successful army organization is no easy matter. In the first place there are needed solid foundations. A. fighting instinct is one of these. Have the Chinese got it? Absolute integrity in the handling of funds and supplies is another. Can China look the world in the face and say, We have that.", Whispers of peculation are rife from various sources even in the north where efforts, it is believed, have really been made to deal with that evil. The old squeeze have taken new forms but are still there. Desertion is rampant, and the punishment for it vindictive. It has recently been seen that the authorities in Peking have a tender spot in their constitutions somewhere or they would not be so anxious for the ikins of lawbreaker in Shanghai. But there is no such effeminacy up north where deserters are concerned, The man who leaves the army, if caught, is soon incapable of leaving that or anything else, for he is rendered at once unable either to stand or sit, such is the correction he receives. His comrades, who remain with the colours, are daily put through their parade movements which are admirably performed, but if last year's manoeuvres are a criterion there is none too much intelligence put into the training. The precision, which some of the correspond, ents, praised so highly, was secured by carefal beforehand of every movement planned to a nicety, each side being given strict orders what. to do and what not to do. Had one of them developed the least originality the whole "show" would have been ruined. There were in short no manœuvres such as we understand by the -term in European training.
Space prevents an examination in detail of many other things which must of necessity be done before China can think that she has an army fit to meet a European or Japanese force, She is giving her men some training in the elements of firs; aid, but the material is of the poorest for such a purpose owing to lack of preliminary education and as yet she has, no Army Medical Corps without which-with literati in the ranks--she could bardly think of entering on a campaign. Her armament is still faulty, for to this day out-of-date weapons are palmed off on corrupt mandarins who find greater profit in such dealings than they would in really efficiant material. Her cavalry hardly exists. In short the latest information at the public disposal icads one to believe that the true lesson of Russia's defent has been utterly lost on the majority of China's rolers, for the corruption which brought the Colossus of the North to her knees in stil!· rampant in the Celestial Empire,
