TIBET AND TURKESTAN

CHAPTER I

RUSSIAN TURKESTAN — ACROSS BLACK SANDS —
FROM KRASNOVODSK TO ANDIJAN

SERIOUS changes, of international importance,
are about to be made in Central Asia, where
conditions are known but vaguely, except to certain
officials who can speak only in accord with the poli-
cies they serve, and to a few travellers. Concern-
ing the actualities in Turkestan and Tibet, there is
an English administration point of view—which is
loudly proclaimed; a Russian administration point
of view—which is imperfectly known to Western
Europe; a Chinese administration point of view,
which cannot be frankly expressed by the Peking
Government; a Tibetan point of view, which is
vainly uttered to the unresponsive snows; and an
independent point of view, which I endeavour here
to set forth. When one observes the activities of
three great empires, four great religions, and a dozen
races, interacting among conditions whose simplicity
permits sharp definition, he may perchance see things
that are somewhat hidden in the larger, overwhelm-
ing world to which we belong.
