A hand-colored political cartoon titled Bucking a Tough Game, published by Carey Cartoon Service in 1915. Mars, the Roman god of war, stands at a table moving a ball among shells labeled Eastern Front, Western Front, and Balkans, while caricatured nations including Belgium, Serbia, Russia, Italy, France, England, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and Japan crowd around as gamblers, and a skeletal figure labeled Bankruptcy looms beside them.
