. Review of reviews and world's work. JAPAN AND MANCHURIA. While minister of war, General Kuropatkinmade a prolonged visit to the far East, goingfirst to Japan and afterward to Port Arthur andManchuria. He was preceded by Minister deWitte, who has written at length and admirablyof Manchuria, but it is not certain that thememoirs of Kuropatkin have seen the light. Hewas in Japan in the spring of 1903, and wasfeted and dined by the court, the ministers, andthe generals.

It was, from the first, aquestion of incompatible ambitions, only to bedecided by armed force. General Kuropatkins task has been immenselymore difficult than his critics at first understood.The troops in the field were largely Siberianregiments, containing many Asiatic
