It is interesting to note in this connexion that the old style of establishing the chief provincial military authority in a city dif. ferent from where the civil head is resident is being reintroduced. For instance, in Kiangeu p-evince the Military Governor will have his headquarters at king, the Capital, while the Governor will be established at Soochow; in Anhui province the Civil Governor will function at Luchowfu, while the Military Governor will remain in the capital, Anking; in Chihli province the Civil Governor will go to Paotingfu, while the Military Governor will remain at Tientsin. This system obtained in the time of the Ching Dynasty, and while it is being revived in some provinces it is not being adopted in all, local conditions determining the exceptions.
