William Jennings Bryan attempts to tear down American flags in Cuba and the Philippines. The spirit of General Henry Ware Lawton, who was killed in the Philippines, orders Bryan to “Halt!” The stripes on the American flag in the Philippines are labeled “Honor, Patriotism, Commercial Progress, National Dignity, Glory, Duty to Humanity, [and] National Self-Respect.” A headstone on the bottom right reads, “The American Soldier, who died for his country after planting this flag.”

Puck had been a proponent of the war, and supported American expansionism.
