Ballon Kuroiki.

The execution of the plan of campaign has been entrusted to General Kuroki, He is the first to take the field, and commands the first army, which is composed of the Imperial Guards, the Second Division, and the Twelfth Division. Kuroki is a famous fighting general, renowned through the East for courage, daring and energy. The blows he strikes will be swift and strong, and those who follow him will see much blood flow. Born in the province of Satsuma sixty-one years ago, Baron Kuroki springs from the warrior class, and was trained from infancy in lessons of courage and endurance and chivalry. In the revolution he fought for the Emperor, and in 1871 received his company. Six years later he marched to the relief of Kumamoto Castle, where the Imperial troops were besieged by his own Satsuma clan. When this Civil War ended he joined the staff, and in 1885 was promoted to the rank of major-general. During the war with China, the baron was at first engaged in the Work of mobilisation, but when the struggle developed, he went to the front as LieutenantGeneral, and led one of the divi--sions that took Wei-hai-Wei, after a desperate defence by the Chinese.
