Reading edition

THE BULL DOG BREED
TOO MUCH FOR THE LION.
AN INTERNATIONAL DANGER! John Bull: “There’s only one way to deal with a mad dog.”
THE CURE Dame Europa: “There’s nothing like a poultice or two for a swelled head, William.”
PRICKING THE BUBBLE.
A VOICE FROM THE PAST. Shade of Napoleon: “Have a care! Ambition was my downfall!”
THE WORM WILL TURN H.I.M.: “It’s just occurred to me that there’ll be trouble when he does discover the truth!”
THE MISFIT.
Austria: “That settles it! Now I shall be under the painful necessity of punishing you.”
EUROPE’S DANGER: THE “DISPOSITION” OF GERMANY.
“HE LAUGHS LONGEST WHO LAUGHS LAST.”
Europa: “You had better read this over again; you seem to have forgotten it!”
Kaiser Wilhelm: “That, Madame, is merely another ‘scrap of paper,’ as my friend Von Bethmann-Hollweg would say!”
THE STEPPING STONES “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.
THE KAISER’S DREAM: THE WORLD IN CHAINS.
THE HELIGOLAND “BIGHT.”
WONDERS WILL NEVER CEASE
“A TERRIBLE RESPONSIBILITY”
British Lion (on closer scrutiny): “Bless me!—I’ve been under the impression that you were an eagle!”
UNREASONABLE German Admiral: “It’s all very well to say ‘Come out and fight.’ But we’ve lost count of the mines.”
DIFFERENT IDEALS Indignant Teuton: “‘British superiority,’ Bah!—Don’t tell me such things. Why, look at that placard!”
THE UNEXPECTED 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.”)
THE RUSSIAN STEAM-ROLLER
A BARE POSSIBILITY German Eagle: “Excuse me, I suppose you haven’t seen my two-headed friend anywhere about, have you?”
THE TIRPITZ TOUCH Cultured Skipper: “And in the morning there will be Another German victor-ee!”
