...Chinese as a people in this insolent and irresponsible manner. That the army of China, with its obsolete arms and want of training, proved to be inefficient and inferior to its opponents in her recent wars is a fact, but to attribute this without any ground to the reason that the Chinese are "cowardly" can not but be construed as an act of wanton insult of national character. If the Chinese are given the best of equipment and training, as the people are in this country, the question whether they are cowardly can then be decided on the battlefield...

Such a spirit, only too rare in our land of gigantic uniformities, and almost non-existent in our colleges, gave one hope that here at least a leaven was working which would ultimately transform American...
...will be continued on duty as long as possible. This means that the Government feels unable to pay for subsistence or to supply additional instructors. The first of these things is the more serious because it is likely to prevent many good men from service in the corps by reason of the cost of board. Additional instructors are not necessary since the arrival of the French officers. With their aid, and the instructors already here, the Corps will enjoy better teaching than any training corps has ever had in this country, and instruction in modern warfare more perfected by recent...
