This is primarily an advertising and promotional page for the March *Scribner* magazine and Old Overholt Rye whiskey, not a political cartoon page. The small sketch labeled "DEFENDING THE COLORS" (lower left) appears to show a patriotic military scene, likely referencing American military service, though details are unclear. The main text includes an editorial titled "Cheer Up, Canadians!" expressing concern about Canadian-American relations. It suggests some Canadians resent American attitudes toward World War I, and speculates this resentment stems partly from German-immigrant populations in border cities (Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Milwaukee). The editor advises Canadians not to judge American sentiment based on these German-influenced regions. The page is otherwise devoted to advertising the upcoming *Scribner's* issue, featuring articles by military figures like General Goethals on the Panama Canal and correspondent Archibald on the German war effort—timely topics in 1915.

Aprit 26, 1820 Captain Tappan is back from a vo: age with many wonderful tales to tell, He brought with him some strange liquors, but agrees with me that there is nothing so excellent as Old Overholt Rye “Same for 100 years” The verdict of those who have made comparisons is al- ways the same as that of Capt. ‘Tappan. With a flavor and og boquet exceedingly pleasantand §f a uniform quality, Old Overholt 2 is always in the lead. Aged in [3 the wood, bottled in bond. A. Overholt & Co.,Pittsbursh,Pa. Cheer Up, Canadians! i Batts say that a great many Cana- dians are down on us of the United States because of some defect that they see in our attitude about the war. That is curious, and indicates some detachment of the Canadian brethren from their normal mental pose. Per- haps it is partly attributed to the fact that some of the larger cities on the lakes—Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Mil- waukee, Chicago—are exceptionally strong in German population. Cana- dians should be wary of estimating the attitude of the general American mind from what they hear of it from their nearest neighbors. “ DEFENDING THE COLORS" In the March SCRIBNER =} The War from an American Point of View, by George B.
