<JOURNEY TO CHINA>: (19) CHINESE WARRIORS: All Chinese men have the right, from six to eight times a year, to carry a rifle, a cartridge-pouch, and even to wear a fur cap; then they apply themselves, more or less voluntarily to night patrols which have as their goal the maintenance of public peace. Only it happens quite often that the chief named KA-PO-RAL takes infinite trouble to prevent his warriors singing at the tops of their voices "mother GO-DI-CHON" or other Chinese ballads, and it is by waking with a start that the good citizens learn that their rest is being watched over.
