PREFATORY NOTE

These drawings are selections from Cartoons published, for the most part, in a daily newspaper. They represent the emotions evoked by the news from day to day, and make no pretense to a philosophic viewpoint. They do seek to express, however, a deep conviction that Germany is chiefly to blame for the war.

Boardman Robinson.

April, 1915.
