# "Ring It Again!" - Judge Magazine, September 21, 1918 This political cartoon by George Carlson depicts Uncle Sam operating a large bell or alarm mechanism, with German imperial eagles (marked with crosses) appearing to be struck or rung by the device. The title "Ring It Again!" suggests repeated military action or warning. Published in September 1918, during World War I's final weeks, this cartoon likely celebrates American military pressure against Germany before the November armistice. The bell imagery may reference either alarm/warning signals or the ringing of victory bells. The worn, elderly depiction of Uncle Sam emphasizes America's commitment despite war fatigue. The cartoon expresses jingoistic satisfaction with ongoing American military engagement against German forces.
