A British ship sunk under its own flag, John Bull, personification of Great Britain, calls for a false flag with which to disguise his ships even as he is being dragged beneath the surface by German mermen — submariners with armbands in the colors of the German flag. Personifications of neutral nations holding their flags include Uncle Sam of the USA, a Nederlander, and representatives of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. In the distance, the British Isles have been hit, bombed by a Zeppelin or shelled by a sea battery. |
