A tough proposition

A Roman general in armor (Mars) puts his head on a chopping block (end of war) and mocks an anthropomorphic globe (world) who raises an axe (Naval disarmament) over his head. In the foreground, lay several discarded axes (plan to end war, League of Nations scheme to end war, war prevention, Bryan's scheme to end war, prevent war, scheme to end war by alliances, and holy alliance).
