I think Bill has seen this before, but I never made it public. My wife's
great uncle (Durham White Stevens) was an ambassador to Japan during the
Russo-Japanese War and ended up with some pretty incredible artifacts,
including these propaganda posters. Unfortunately, he was also later made
ambassador to Korea during the time that Japan was attempting to annex
Korea, and was assasinated in San Francisco by some Korean nationists who
felt he was still loyal to the Japanese.

. . . and, no, I have no idea about what the messages state on the
posters. I also have no idea what any of this has to do with Bill or Tom's
posts, but this is where the train of thought took me.
