Footnotes:
[1] While this is being written, our authorities are again placarding our walls with indifferent posters showing the advantages of life in the Army as compared with the “disadvantages” of civil life, and embodying an undignified appeal to Britons to join the Army for the sake of playing cricket and football and seeing the world for nothing!
[2] It is worth noting that, after Germany had set a value on Raemaeker’s head, her authorities did not disdain to employ his genius, when it suited their purpose, borrowing his famous cartoon “The Dance of Death” for denunciation of Berlin’s mad craze for gaiety, with the words “Sein Tanzer ist Tod.”
