Frenzylogical chart
World War I cartoon drawing is a phrenological chart of for the German brain.
Herford represents
Humanity with the sinking of the Lusitania,
Veneration by an image of a burning church,
Love of nature by a soldier chopping down a tree,
Modesty with the motto "Ich und Gott,"
Imagination with the German eagle standing on top of a globe with the motto
"Deutschland uber alles,"
Generosity with a German soldier poisoning a Dutch girl with tainted candy,
Compassion with the destruction of Red Cross wagons and the death of nurses,
Sympathy with an crocodile shedding tears for France,
Chivalry with a firing squad aiming its rifles at a nurse,
Integrity with the shredding of a treaty, and finally
Love of children with a soldier holding up his bayonet onto which he has speared an infant.
This cartoon appeared in Life as the atrocities of war mounted but
before the United States entered World War I.
