PEKING, November, 21. Do you know who is a chinese warlord? Warlord is a commander of a personal army, ruling a territory, and acting more or less independently. Some warlords controll only a small district or two, but the most powerful warlords rule over two or three provinces.

Generally men of narrow vision and weak abilities, the warlords exploite the people to get rich. Once wealthy, they would give up their warlord positions, retire to the safety of the foreign concessions in the treaty-ports, and enjoy life with their ill-gotten money.
Within his region, the warlord rules like a dictator. It is true that some warlords carry out limited social reforms and even pay attention to national problems. But for the most part they govern with terror and exploit the people by all kinds of taxation and corruption.
For more territory and power, the warlords always fight with one another. Most of these wars are short-lived and small in scale. Alliances with other warlords are often made and changed. The most powerful warlords would become protectors of smaller warlords. But the internal governments of these smaller warlords are seldom interfered with, since military victories of one warlord over another are often short and limited.
Because warlord armies are kept together by individual officers rather than a military system, the elimination of a single military commander by murder could greatly weaken a rival warlord's military strength. As a result, there are many political assassinations . Also, money and bribes (known as "silver bullets") are often offered to buy over the officers of a rival warlord.
