"Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 153, September 19, 1917"

Her one man
and a boy are fighting with the nonchalance of despair to resist the
Allied pressure. Good news may be expected from this Front shortly.
_Bulgaria_.
The warfare of attrition has never shown such excellent results as
in the case of Bulgaria. Her army of trained goats is now the only
barrier to the vengeance of the Serbs.
_Turkey_.
According to the latest report the Turkish Army has lost its rifle. It
is hoped that every advantage will be taken of our momentary superior
armament.
_China_.
As a last resort Germany is sending her remaining Hun to attack the
Chinese. What they can hope to achieve by so prodigal a waste of
"cannon-fodder" is difficult to see.
_Rumania_.
There is no news on the Rumanian Front. It is thought that there is
nobody there.
_Palestine_.
In Palestine both sides have withdrawn their troops and the battle is
proceeding without them.
When one realises that against these weakening and ever decreasing
forces our Allies will still have a reserve of 80,000,000 by the
Spring of 1925, it is impossible to take an otherwise than optimistic
view of the situation.
