This appears to be a political cartoon from Judge magazine (copyright 1918 by Ames Publishing Company). The image depicts a chaotic circus or carnival scene with anthropomorphized animals and caricatured human figures in military/political dress. The setting suggests wartime satire, likely related to World War I given the 1918 date and military uniforms visible. The cartoon seems to mock political or military leadership through exaggerated animal caricatures and circus imagery, suggesting incompetence or absurdity in governance. Without clearer identifying labels or the complete title visible (only "ROUGH RI" appears), I cannot definitively identify specific political figures being satirized. The overall tone suggests criticism of wartime management or political chaos.
