CARDINAL MERCIER REPLIES

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF KULTUR

Fritz: "We must see if there is any money or jewelry in these coffins before we retire."

CANADA ON VIMY RIDGE William: I wonder how long my dear friend and Ally will be able to stand this. William: "Here's luck, Hindenburg." Hindenburg: "Where?" The Old Frenchman: "Our guns come nearer." TANKS THE SLAYING OF THE FIERY DRAGONS

Two airships fell victims to the enemy's defensive of London.

King Tino at Athens to his brother-in-law William at Potsdam: "Please return me my runaway Army Corps. I want it to shoot my constitutional subjects." Mr. Lloyd George to Neutrals: "Don't stand in our way to victory." THE CROWN PRINCE PREACHES TO AMERICA "I am 'operating' at, but not inside your gate; tomorrow I come inside with a letter from the Kaiser." THE SUPER ANARCHIST Fritz: "This is no longer civilized war—they are stronger than we." HOUP LA!! BROTHERS IN ARMS "PERHAPS THIS ONE WILL KILL MY BOY ON THE YSER" Tirpitz: "Because we have sunk 30 or 40 of your merchantmen you dare to refuse our U-Boats entrance to your harbours. That is an unneutral and unfriendly act against Germany." SLAVE TRANSPORT FROM GHENT THE NEW KINGDOM OF POLAND Belgian civilians are deported by the army in occupation to the munition works in Germany to prevent their moral decay.

THE PEACE MOVE (II)

BERLIN, DECEMBER 14, 1916

HURRAH! "WAR ON ALL NEUTRALS AT LAST" THE CONVICTS' STRIPES

America and China: "You order us to paint convicts' stripes on our ships. We will not. Wear them yourselves."

"GO ON, WILLIAM! A TRUE HOHENZOLLERN NEVER GETS ENOUGH BLOOD" Germany: "Till now you have left the fighting to me and kept splendidly neutral—don't part from that splendid attitude!" THE REBIRTH OF RUSSIA

(A new and powerful Russia rises like a Phoenix from the ashes of the old reactionary regime.)

"WE BOMBARDED THE FORT OF LONDON" William to Japan: "I will never again make drawings about 'The Yellow Peril' if you will help me against 'The American Peril.'" THE PRESIDENT'S HANDICAP

President Wilson, who wishes to take measures to safeguard his country's interests and honor against Hun piracy and intrigue, finds his hands tied and his appeals flouted by German Americans, pacifists, and professors of "friendly diplomacy."

Germany: "We have turned the richest lands of France into a gigantic region of Death." Christ: "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me." Attila: "You have burned and plundered the villages and poisoned the wells. What a hero you are, William!" FOR HOLY RUSSIA AND HUMANITY!

Russian patriotism tramples on the traitorous pro-German dragon whose breath has paralyzed Russia in the field and at home. The kaiser sees and slinks away.

Germany: "I destroy!" America: "I create!"

William to General von Fleck: "We must save these beautiful things from destruction and fire." Uncle Sam: "So we are only a dollar making people, are we?" In the Office of a German Newspaper in America

"My tear vellow, as long as you not forget to wave now and again a leedle American flag, you can safely go on committing high treason in the interest of our Vaterland."

Austria: "Why won't you trust me, Little Red Riding Hood?" KULTUR V. CIVILISATION American Soldier: "Remember we have plenty of lamp-posts for traitors." THE SOCIALIST BAIT FOR RUSSIA ON LAND AND WATER

The End of the Hindenburg Line?

"A POISON-GAS ATTACK ON NEW RUSSIA" A FOOL'S PARADISE THE UNITED STATES FOR CONSCRIPTION

William: "Do you mean to say that you are really going to do something?"

John Bull: "A hearty welcome! Come in, Mate." Tommy: "Look here, Bill, here's a bit of old Hindenburg's line." A GOOD START THE DECISION OF THE SEAMEN'S AND FIREMEN'S UNION

"Don't think, my beauty, that we are going to ship you to those German friends of yours at Stockholm."

GERMANY'S PEACE AGENTS CAUGHT IN THEIR OWN TRAP

THE GRIMM EPISODE

"For Liberty, Humanity, and Justice we are coming, 10,000,000 of us."

YOU DARED TO FIND US OUT!

Baron Von Rautenfels (Diplomatic Messenger from Berlin to Norway): "Not how the bombs came here, but that you dared to open my luggage, is all that matters to Germany."

FRATERNIZING ON THE GALICIAN FRONT AS GENERAL BRUSILOFF UNDERSTANDS IT THE FALL OF THE CHILD SLAYER AT THE WORLD'S JUDGMENT SEAT "WE'LL GIVE THESE YANKEES A TASTE OF OUR STEEL" "We are willing now to make peace so that you may enjoy still more the blessings of our Kultur."

President Wilson to the impudent arch-Hun: "Guess I'll soon find a way to get at him!"

"UNRESTRICTED" PIRACY

William: "Now we will give England the death-stroke."

William: "I say, Capelle, are you sure we have taken the right road?" A GOOD JOKE

The Hun Barbarian to the Hollander: "I gave you my word—did you really expect me to keep it?"

"I hope, dear Holland, this explanation is all you want." Holland: "Yes, thank you, it is quite sufficient." President Wilson: "Say! you are using false cards." William: "Yes, but only as a precaution." THE BERLIN-BAGDAD SNAKE

"Alas! poor dear snake is dead."

HELPING HINDENBURG HOME Uncle Sam: "So you are going to sink my ships on sight, are you?" Tirpitz: "I ... I ... don't think!" POISONED WELLS THE OUTCAST "STILL THEY COME" Tommy: "You'll soon see the Stars and Stripes." Fritz: "Just seen some." William to Herr Scheidemann: "The Turks believe I am a Mahomedan, try to make the Russian socialists believe I am a Democrat." GERMANY'S WAR AIMS

Bethmann-Hollweg to Anti-Annexationist and Pro-Annexationist: "I cannot disclose details, but I perfectly agree with both of you."

The Ober-Hof-Socialist: "Yes! we must make a peace without annexations." "No war or at the worst only a sham war was all that America could do, was it?" AIR RAID ON LONDON

German Airman: "One for the babies!"

Ferdinand: "I am much too popular to be treated like Tino or Nicholas." REPRISALS

The Only Answer

A DISGUISE THAT WAS TOO THIN

Bethmann-Hollweg: "That Socialist's disguise is no good, All Highest. Let's try another clerical peace trick."

Dr. Michaelis: "The concentration of the Russian Army compelled Germany to seize the sword. There was no choice left to us." THE NEW ST. GEORGE

"Give us the means and we will slay this German dragon that threatens our towns, our women, and children."
