What you’re looking at

# Page 844: Life Magazine - 1915 This page contains three distinct sections: **"Mental Reserve"** (top left): A satirical illustration of a German soldier in a spiked helmet labeled "Mental Reserve," depicted as gaunt and hollow—likely mocking German military morale or resources during World War I. **"English Version"** (center): A poem mocking potential German attacks, warning that "Zeppelins will get you if you don't watch out"—referencing German airships used in WWI bombing raids on Britain. **"Football Term: Passing the Bawl"** (bottom): A cartoon showing two women passing a baby to a man, using sports terminology as innuendo—typical of Life's irreverent humor. The page also includes financial reports for "Life's Fresh Air Fund" (a children's charity) and an article about John S. Sumner as Anthony Comstock's successor.
