The loss of nearly 100 children provided plenty of powerful ammunition for the anti-German propaganda machine. As depicted in this May 29, 1915, cartoon entitled "Here Lie the Facts," Uncle Sam may have been reluctant to go to war, but he has no hesitation in venting his rage against the kaiser. The New York Herald artist who produced this cartoon included an element inspired by contemporary photographs of the scene on the Irish coast: piles of luggage left by the dead.
