An octopus map reproduced from the paper showing a giant octopus advancing on the "Irish free state" with tentacles labeled "evil" "literature" and "menace"

An octopus map reproduced from the paper showing a giant octopus advancing on a city with tentacles labeled "monopoly" "subway franchise" and "political pull"

An octopus map reproduced from the paper showing a giant octopus advancing from the UK into the far reaches of the world. Labeled Freiheit der meere which means "Freedom of the Seas". During World War I, Germany used this phrase in propaganda, particularly in a poster depicting Great Britain as an octopus with tentacles reaching out to various parts of the world, allegedly colonized or attacked by the British Empire.
