Run by writer Charles Masterman , the actions of this bureau were so covert that most MPs had no idea that the department even existed. To do this, they worked on a variety of projects, including making publications, delivering speeches and holding exhibitions — they even worked with high-profile authors on books and pamphlets that promoted the government's agenda. All of this was done with the utmost secrecy — and few people were aware that these projects were designed primarily as tools for propaganda. One of Masterman's biggest tasks was trying to encourage the US to enter the war. Eager to find some form of propaganda that might convince them that they needed to intervene, he found his answer in the form of a rather unassuming yet remarkably talented Dutch cartoonist. His name was Louis Raemaekers —

When Dr. Seuss Went to War
The John Tinney McCutcheon collection has approximately 80 cartoons drawn between and These cartoons depict a variety of subject matters ranging from mundane domestic legislation to international military events. Because of this effect, the collection is most easily analyzed within the chronology of World War I.
Before World War I July 28, : This portion of the collections is the most diverse in subject matter. McCutcheon illustrates domestic issues, carefully laying his interpretation within them.
The Taft administration is frequently featured, especially in the matter of the presidential election. The collection has an even representation of historical events that are still considered relevant today, and those with most individuals would not be familiar. This is a reasonable conclusion to the fact most news stories do not have a direct, significant impact beyond the era of their publication. The collection covers the war as a serious foreign issue, but remains more neutral in its portrayal of the subject.
McCutcheon does not depict the axis and allied powers are evil and good, but rather approaches one event at a time. This slightly changes after the United States entered the war in The Germans were portrayed in a more villainous role, which places the United States in a more heroic position. However, McCutcheon comments on the inhumanity that the war brings, especially to Americans receiving profits from the war. McCutcheon also continued to illustrate domestic issues, which were often affected by the war effort.

This cartoon depicts President Taft creating a message regarding railroad freight rates.
In the , a large portion of goods was transported on railroads in the United States. Railroad owners made large profits by charging rates to ship cargo from one location to another. This likely refers to the injunction granted by Judge David P. Driver against 25 western railroads located throughout the Midwest to the West Coast, who were all members of the Western Traffic Association.
This injunction was granted in Hannibal, Missouri, as a result of an executive order from President Taft. This injunction prevented any of these railroads from raising or adjusting their rates in anyway. The special assistant to the Attorney General, Edwin Grosvenor, presented charges against these railroad companies in St. Louis, Missouri. These charges allegations of price-fixing and conspiracy between these companies to collectively raise rates.
Taft's predecessor, President Theodore Roosevelt, began this practice during his own administration. Another project begun during President Roosevelt's administration: the construction and governance of the Panama Canal is also shown in this cartoon.
Hammer Tribune Building" -- Handwritten on verso. JM Hello, Is that the coroner? This cartoon is an editorial depiction of the fear of war with Japan in later At the time, the army of Japan was growing, and they were seeking new technology and funding. This was combined with Japan seizing territory around it, such as parts of Korea.
These military actions made relations between the United States and Japan more tense, even to the point where California was proposing legislation to limit the rights of Japanese citizens. The Chicago Tribune took a relatively relaxed approach to the situation, asserting relations between the United States and Japan were nowhere near a declaration of war. Journalists came to this conclusion, because the costs of war were too great for both sides.
Ultimately, President Taft sought to avoid public fear by seeking to dismantle rumors of war by publicly announcing the United States intention of peace with Japan. This cartoon shows Taft crushing the personified Japanese war scare while on the phone saying "Hello, is that the coroner? Well, say, come up in about 10 minutes. I'll have a nice job for you.

Pinchot, among others, accused Ballinger of negligence and endangering public lands. With the exception of one Republican, all the Republicans on the committee ruled in favor of Ballinger, and all the Democrats on the committee ruled against Ballinger. The Ballinger Affair led to mass criticism of the Taft administration. The dispute between Ballinger and United States Forest Service Chief Gifford Pinchot that contributed to the split of the Republican party before the presidential election.
Katherine Elkins was the daughter of Senator Stephen B. Elkins, an influential politician from West Virginia. They met through a series of social events in the United States, and their courtship was covered by the Chicago Tribune and other newspapers for over two years.

In the decades before the revolution, the monarchy faced adversity by lower factions of society. The monarchy ruled Portugal in combination with aristocratic oligarchies, which maintained a relatively stable political status quo. Eventually, these oligarchies failed to maintain power, and the political situation in Portugal became increasingly unstable. Hatred for the monarchy grew to the point when King Carlos and his first son where jointly assassinated in On October 5, , the violent revolution began in Lisbon, leaving hundreds dead in the struggle.
Manuel II and his family fled, hoping to receive news that loyalist forces managed to overcome the revolutionaries. After realizing the revolutionaries had succeeded, Manuel II fled to England. The English government sympathized with the Portuguese monarchy.

In the following days, most newspapers both English and French held the same opinion: Full steam ahead!

Forward or backward looking? The Treaty of Versailles
This collection of comic strips by Harry Hall, a soldier of WWI, provides a humorous depiction of the war so far and mercilessly mocks enemy leaders. Second World War cartoons poked fun at serious subjects, such as military discipline, equipment problems, and the rules and regulations that governed military life. In this series from the Second World War, an Ottawa printer presented archetypes of young Canadian soldiers and airmen. Different British publishers used the same cartoon to produce cards for the 32nd Battalion from Winnipeg, Manitoba, the 48th Battalion, from Toronto, Ontario, and the 59th Battalion, from Brockville, Ontario. This postcard, sent home by a soldier of British Columbia's 54th Battalion, is typical of the generic postcards that were printed with the names of dozens of different units. During the First World War, it was common to draw the connection between sport and war - as in the postcard featuring a Union Jack soccer ball. Printed early in the First World War to satirize army life, these cards were mailed by a soldier at Valcartier, Quebec, to his family in Melfort, Saskatchewan. The tribulations of life in the army were satirized in this Second World War postcard series.
