Kuropatkin’s life in the field: the general’s Manchurian headquarters. Kuropatkin’s successor and commander: general Linievitch, appointed to the command of the Manchurian forces. The Hornets of the Russian retreat: the Japanese cavalry. The creation of a Russian Committee of National Defence: the president. Serving a gun in rough weather on board a Japanese battle-ship. Captive in Japan’s triumph: Russia’s vanquished admiral. The great awakening in China. An official reception in China: varieties and diplomacy. Bulgaria’s preparations for war against Turkey. Warring against the heavens: seeking to scare a comet. The Dalai Lama holding the ashes of his first embodiment. A cricket match: tickling crickets with rats' whiskers to encourage them to fight.
