The outlaws are nearly all form- [ ct soldiers who have deserted or I been disbanded from the Chinese ! armies. These men. many of them aimed, refuse to go back to work on the farms .from which they! came, and they now rove the coun- ■ tryside and make their living by robbery, extortion, and kidnapping.
