That will please him" is a 1915 editorial cartoon by William H. Walker, and its title suggests a reader who would be glad to hear the news it carries. The subject is espionage in the United States during the war, a topic that drew steady attention in American newspapers well before the country entered the conflict in 1917. In those years, German military and diplomatic officials in Washington, including naval and military attachés, were widely reported to be running covert operations on American soil. Cartoons like this one turned those reports into quick, pointed commentary on public unease about foreign agents at work at home.
