What you’re looking at
This page uses **biting satire** to mock German militarism during World War I (America had entered in April 1917). **The "Technical Books for War Workers" section** satirizes German publications by inventing absurd fake book titles. Each purportedly teaches Americans something, but actually ridicules German aggression: "How and Why Prussia Expects to Get an Indemnity from America" mocks German war aims; "Hospitals and Orphan Asylums I Have Bombed" denounces German atrocities; and a cookbook humorously trivializes German deprivation. **"At the Bottom" joke** suggests Germans have demonstrated humanity's capacity for moral collapse—a common American propaganda trope depicting Germans as uniquely barbaric. The quip about someone enjoying summer pictures despite the war subtly criticizes civilian morale. **The right side** is primarily theater advertising, typical of Judge's commercial content. This exemplifies how American satirical magazines employed humor as **wartime propaganda**, dehumanizing the enemy while rallying readers to the American cause.

A careful study of this book makes it possible for the dullest shipworker to do twenty percent more work each day than he did before reading it. Farm-workers whoare anxious toenlarge the yield of their land and obtain record- breaking crops should read “ How and Why Prussia Expects to Get an Indemnity from America.” The chapter dealing with the method in which the German army heads a plan to raise $4,000,000,000 from the Pacific Coast alone is guaranteed to enable any patriotic farmer to raise six potatoes where only one grew before. One of the finest cook-books ever pub- lished is “Hospitals and Orphan Asylums I Have. Bombed,” by Lieutenant Otto Hasenpfeffer of the German Flying Corps. Even a mediocre cook can, by a perusal of this masterpiece, teach herself the impor- tance of getting a four-course dinner out of a handful of rice and a good soup-bone.
