Raemaekers' Cartoon History of the War, Volume 1: The First Twelve Months of War
World War, 1914-1918 -- Caricatures and cartoons; World War, 1914-1918 -- Humor
Everything else we must forget from this moment, and remember only this:
to be _Italians_, to love all Italy with the same faith and fervor. The
forces of all must be cemented into one single heart; only one single
will must guide all toward the wished for end; and force, and art, and
will must find their expression one, alive, and heroic in the army and
navy of Italy and in the august leader who conducts them toward the
destiny of the new history.
ANTONIO SALANDRA.
_President of the Ministerial Council._
_Rome. May 20, 1915._

_GOTT STRAFE ITALIEN_
Neither Serbia nor Russia, despite a long and costly war, is hated.
Italy, however, or rather those Italian would be politicians and
business men who offer violence to the majority of peaceful Italian
people, are so unutterably hated with the most profound honesty that
this war can produce.
_The Frankfurter Zeitung, May 25, 1915._

_THE LATIN SISTERS_
_Italy: "Indeed she is my sister"_
Giuseppe Garibaldi with a corps of Italian soldiers went to the defense
of the French Republic in the war of 1870 against the Prussians,
performing heroic deeds at Dijon worthy of an epopee.
Ricciotti Garibaldi, living son of the Hero, with a corps of Italian
volunteers went to the defense of Greece against Turkey in 1897,
performing heroic deeds worthy of an epopee at Domokos.
Peppino Garibaldi, living son of Ricciotti, with a corps of Italian
volunteers went to the defense of the French Republic in the present war
against Germany, performing heroic deeds worthy of an epopee in the
Argonne.
_From "Why Italy entered the Great War."_

_THE ZEPPELIN TRIUMPH_
"_But Mother had done nothing wrong, had she, Daddy?_"
The first Zeppelin attack on London was made on the evening of the last
day of May, 1915. Zeppelins passed over Colchester at 10 o'clock, and at
twenty-three minutes past ten the people in one of the poorest and most
crowded quarters of East End were startled to find bomb after bomb,
mainly of incendiary type, dropping among them. A large number of
civilians including many women and children were killed.
By shell from sea, by bomb from air,
Our greeting shall be sped,
Making each English homestead
A mansion of the dead.
And even Grey will tremble
As falls each iron word;
"God punish England, brother?
Yea! Punish her, O Lord!"
_A Hymn of Hate by_ HERR HOCHSTETTER.
_Translated by_
CAPT. G. VALENTINE WILLIAMS.

_MY SON, GO AND FIGHT FOR YOUR MOTHERLAND_
IS YOUR CONSCIENCE CLEAR?
Ask your conscience why you are staying comfortably at home instead of
doing _your_ share for your King and Country.
1. Are you too old?
The only man who is too old is the man who is over 38.
