Chinese Rules of War.

The Chinese “Rules of War," as carried out by the Imj erial armies now in the field against Japan, are 3,000 years old. They must be very nice rtiles if we may judge of them from the specimens given ny an English writer who has seen them. Perhaps the nicest of them, for the assailed party, is the one that goes thus: “Spread In the camns of the enemy voluptuous musical airs so as to soften their heart.” This military maneuver was held in especial esteem 3,000 years ago b/ its author, Sun-tse, who is still regarded as the highest authority on the art of war.— New York Sun.
