Pekin, Dec. 8—China's greatest problem at present is how to disband the tremendous army which has_come into existence durigg the revolution now drawing to a close. The latest fig- ures compiled by the government indi- cate that there are 800,900 soldiers under arms in the various provinces. At least thirty million dollars silver will be required to pay off these sol- diers and secure their peaceful return to_their resular occupation. Unpaid_soldiers are always a men- ace in China. Each province has its own military governor and a distinct military organization, presumably un- der control of the Peking authoritie but actually quite independent in mo: cases. Consequently, the Peking gov- ernment Is forced to decal very diplo- natically with the military organiza- tions in the provinces, particularly in e remote provinc which lack ade- quate means for speedy communica- tion. Chihll province, in which Peking is located, has a greater number of sol diers than any other. are 114,000 men unde: province. Kwangtung province, of which Canton is the capital, comes second with 96,000 troops. This prov- ince has been in constant state of tur- moil for six months, but General Lung has finally consented to retire from the military governorship, and take most of his soldiers with him to the island of Hainan. This will make it possible for General Lu, the newly ap- pointed military sovernor, to take charge of affairs in Canton and bring the revolutionary movement in Kwangtung province to a close. Chinese coolies regard military ser- vice as .a very' desirable billet. Once they are enlisted in the arm: very difficuit to persuade them to re- tire. Consequently, they riot and be. come extremely troublesome If an at- tempt be made to disband them with- out liberal payment. The command- ing officers are frequently as mercen- ary as the soldiers, and civilians have a great dread of dissruntled troops. When the government fails to give its soldiers what they regard as adequate pay, the troops frequently become bandits and loot until they have gain- ed the reward they feel they should have from the government. ANALYSES AND ASSAYS OF ROCKS What the Geological Survey Can Do With Your Specimens. in this The question s frequently asked of the United ,States Ceological Survey, Department of the Interior, “What is the difference belween an assav, an analysis, and an expert examination of a specimen of rock or mineral— such a specimen as may be sent to the Geological Survey by anyone who has found or thinks he has found a valu- able mineral?” Most of the Survers correspondents ask for assays of their specimens, others ask for analyse: and few appear to distinguish _be tween the fwo. The Geological Sur- vey can make neither an assay nor an analysis for private parties; it can however, make a visual inspection of a specimen, or it can make a simple chemical test to determine whether the specimen contains a commercial amount of some valuable mineral, such as potash. Ninety-nine out of every hundred specimens submitted to the Survey are fonnd to be commer- clally valueless. Such an inspection, or tests, however, is widely different from an analysis. A complete analy- sis of a rock that is composcd of many different minerals may require the more or less cortinual attention of a chemist for a month or six weeks, and such work is dona by the Survey only in connection with its own sclentific Investigationsc An assay, on the other 'hand, s usually a fire test| made to determine the exact metal content of an ore specimen, The Geological Survey makes no assays| for private parties. The Survey has recently reprinted its Bulletin 422, by W. F. Hillebrand, entitled “The Amalysis of Silicate and Carbonate Rocks”. This is a revision of Bulletin 305, which avas so highly valued in Germony that it was there tranelated and republished. It con- tains a detailed description of the analytical methods employed in_the laboratory of the United States Geo- logical Survey and represents the ex- perience gained in thc analysis of more than a thousand igneous rocks alone.

This decision reverses a previous decision of a lower court and makes a union lable for three-fold damages under the Sherman anti-trust law._This is the exact point on which the Danbury hatters’ case was decided. Two cases are involved in this re- cent decision. The Bache-Denman Coal Company of Arkansas and the Pennsylvania Mining Company each brought suit againkt the United Mine Vorkers.

The complaints in the coal mine suits, in the words of the Wall Street Journali, “set forth the attempts of the United Mine Workers to prevent the operation of open shop_mines in the States of Pennsylvania, West Vir- ginia and Colorado, and allege that these attempts were part of a general scheme to monopolize interstate trade for union coal, and to further prevent the operation of open shop mines; that in furtherance of this echeme the defendants determined to destroy the competition. of open shop mines by preventing the operation of these mines.” If this decision stands, any union that calls a strike will be liable for any damage the empléyer may meet as a result of that strike. If tha strike prevents the sale of commodities and causes the loss of a market the union must meet the damages.
