Walker cartoon about Russians being scared by Chinese pigtails (CROPPED)
Summary
A group of Russian soldiers are out on patrol when they think they see several rifle barrels pointing at them from behind a rock. The Russians think that the rifles belong to soldiers of the Japanese Imperial Army, and flee in terror; however, the "barrels" are actually the queues of a group of Chinese men, who are hiding in terror from the Russians.
This cartoon was originally published with the three panels in a staggered format; this version has the panels aligned and the extraneous text removed.
