CARICATURE. 



Oh, wad some Power the giftie gie us 

 To see ourselves as ithers see us. — Bums. 



Tlie nimble pencils of the cartoonists 

 of the world have been chiefl}' occupied 

 with the Balkan War, or rather, with the 

 comj^lications m Europe which result 

 from it. Jugend, a clever paper pub- 

 lished in the Bavarian capital, neatly hits 

 off the reason whv Servia must have a 

 free port for her pigs, which are her 

 chief product, and about which trouble 

 with .\ustna — called the pig wars — -is 

 everlasting. The fact that neither Turks 

 nor Allies are realh' free to conclude 

 peace as the\' like is indicated by the 

 Times in New York in " The Turk Bar- 

 gains," and bv the Kidcndo of Turin, 

 which shows how the Peace Conference 

 was really controlled by the Ambassa- 

 dorial meeting in London. 



The evident dissension amongst the 

 Allies, especiall)- between Bulgaria and 

 Greece, over the possession of captured 

 territor\- is brought out by the Daily 



y'etr York Sun.l 



Uncle Sam to Oiicanised Labour : " You are all 

 right, my f-iend, but who is that behind your

arisen, the Labour dail\' in London. 

 The clever artist of the Jo/mud, of Min- 

 neapolis emphasises the impotence of the 

 Powers, and the determination of the 

 Allies to keep what the\' have won. He 

 also shows how the danger of a general 

 European war is ever present, in " On 

 the Anxious Seat." The Polish jour- 

 nal Marcholt has recentl}- been publish- 

 iner some of the cleverest cartoons on 

 the situation. The artist emjMiasises — 

 as is natural m a Pole — the way in which 

 /Austria is torn this way and that by the 

 medley of races which go to make u|- 

 her Empire. He also i)ays tribute to the 

 Kaiser as the real controller of Europe 

 to-day. Curiously, man)- caricaturists 

 have seized upon ^so]Vs fable of the 

 wolf and the lamb to illustrate the atti 

 tude of Austria to the Balkan League
