John Bull: “There’s only one way to deal with a mad dog.”]

Dame Europa: “There’s nothing like a poultice or two for a swelled head, William.”]

Shade of Napoleon: “Have a care! Ambition was my downfall!”]

H.I.M.: “It’s just occurred to me that there’ll be trouble when he does discover the truth!”]

Kaiser Wilhelm: “That, Madame, is merely another ‘scrap of paper,’ as my friend Von Bethmann-Hollweg would say!”]

“The violation of Belgium, the attack on France, the defence against Russia, are only steps by the way. Germany’s real objective, as she has always told us, is England--England’s wealth, trade, and world-wide possessions.”--Mr. Rudyard Kipling, at Brighton.]

German Admiral: “It’s all very well to say ‘Come out and fight.’ But we’ve lost count of the mines.”]

Indignant Teuton: “‘British superiority,’ Bah!--Don’t tell me such things. Why, look at that placard!”]

The “Road-Hog of Europe”: “This looks all very well up to a certain point, but it doesn’t explain what to do in case of a breakdown.” (With acknowledgments to Mr. Harry Tate in “Motoring.”)]

German Eagle: “Excuse me, I suppose you haven’t seen my two-headed friend anywhere about, have you?”]

Cultured Skipper: “And in the morning there will be Another German victor-ee!”]
