The War in the East: Japan, China, and Corea

by Trumbull White

The image on page 186 is marked as 187 in the index.

The image appearing between pp. 170 and 171, captioned “Female Types and Costumes”, does not appear in the index of illustrations. An entry has been added, delimited in square brackets, as “facing p. 170”.

A sentence describing the activities of the Red Cross on p. 595 seems to be missing a verb. The word ‘was’ at [595.17] seems most likely to be intended.

It was judged that the word ‘contrabrand’, which appears twice on p. 465, is an error. The proper form appears once (p. [666]). The two erroneous instances were corrected.

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
