What you’re looking at
This is primarily an **advertising and humor page** from Judge, a satirical weekly. The main content consists of four brief humorous anecdotes rather than political cartoons: 1. **"Hit"** — A story about a French colonel claiming American heritage through his wooden prosthetic leg (WWI-era humor about Franco-American relations). 2. **"Why He Was Apprehensive"** — Scottish dialect humor about a nervous factory worker reluctant to loop-the-loop in an airplane. 3. **"Knickerbocker Prerogatives"** — A child's innocent misunderstanding: a three-year-old in his first "grown-up" clothes asks if he can now call his father by his first name. 4. **"Retaliation Intended"** — Dark WWI hospital humor about an injured Irish soldier planning revenge on whoever wounded him. The page is dominated by **advertisements** for White Rock mineral water, Evans Ale, Remolke's press clipping service, Cortez cigars, and other products. No significant political satire is present—this is light entertainment mixed with period advertising.

A young French colonel, his breast gleaming with decorations, was called on to give us a speech. He rose, and, leaning on his st he began: “*Am I not entitled to address you on this splendid occasion? Haven't I cause to ad- dress you—Haven’t I cause to love you since I am part American myself?’ “* Hurray!’ we shouted. ‘Hurray! Bully!’ “And then a lady asked: “* American wife, perhaps?’ “The young colonel shook his head. “American sister-in-law?’ “But we were wrong once more. “*How, then, are you part American?’ an old banker wondered, and the colonel said: “By my wooden leg of excellent American manufacture!’ “He struck the handsome limb a resound- ing rap with his stick, and for two minutes the laughter and applause were so hearty that he could not go on.” —Exchange. said at Why He Was Apprehensive—Sandy McTavish was a highly-skilled workman in a n reraft factory.
