William II, the German Emperor, wearing a crown and a regal robe with a ribbon that states “Sons of Cold Water,” sits at a table with other military figures. Count Leo von Caprivi pours a glass of “Ice Water” for William to drink. The others are drinking wine or champagne. Caption: His actions are praiseworthy, but his speeches at banquets indicate his great need of a strict adherence to cold water when he dines out.
