Summary
Cartoon shows a hairy ape-like figure wearing a German helmet (labeled "Military Barbarism"), crying "Hass! Hass! Hass!" (or Hate! Hate! Hate!), standing over the relaxed figure of a kindly looking professor (labeled "The German as the World Thought Him") propped up against books labeled "Art, Philosophy, Science, Poetry, and Ethics." Parodying the sculpture by George Grey Barnard called "Struggle of Two Natures in Man," the cartoon compares the reported barbaric behavior of the German army during the First World War with the traditional view of the Germans as a civilized people.
