Summary: Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm the Second hangs by a noose which is attached to a plank of wood marked 'Greedy Ambition.' Figures representing other countries which fought Germany during World War I, such as Uncle Sam, John Bull, and Marianne, push a globe from under his feet using their arms and wooden levers. In the background, a man in a uniform stands alone, holding a ring labeled 'Russia.' A dove of peace is perched on the ring, symbolizing Russia's recent declaration of peace.
