And Count Yamagata—he must be a cure!
No, no, friends, I very much fear
That in spite of the pictures, and portraits, and maps,
I can't make live heroes of Johnnies and Japs!
Transcriber's Note:
Throughout the dialogues, there were words used to mimic accents of the speakers. Those words were retained as-is.
The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up paragraphs and so that they are next to the text they illustrate.
Errors in punctuation and inconsistent hyphenation were not corrected unless otherwise noted.
On page 181, a period was added after "thou dost bless".
