A diminutive man labeled “Taxpayer” tugs on the coattails of a large man labeled “The World” with a globe-like head, who is leaning on the bar in a barroom, clutching a bottle labeled “Increased Armaments” and a wallet labeled “War Budget.” Behind the bar is the Roman deity Mars labeled “Barkeep Mars,” offering a bottle labeled “Airships.” On shelves and on the bar are bottles labeled “Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Fortifications, Battleships, Submarines, Munitions, Cruisers, [and] Ordinance.”
