The body of “Spain” is surrounded by figures representing the United States, England, France, Russia, Austria, and Italy. On the ground next to the body is a bloody razor labeled “Stupidity.” On the wall is a sign reading, “What Killed Spain? Inquest Now Going On.” Caption: The coroner’s jury will undoubtedly find that the deceased committed suicide.
