The text boasts that Leslie's employs war correspondents and photographers across multiple theaters—Italy, Germany, Austria, France, Russia, Britain, Belgium, Turkey, Egypt, and the Far East—to provide readers with authentic coverage of the conflict. The left oval photograph shows soldiers in a trench, exemplifying the frontline documentation Leslie's claims to offer. The right photograph shows a correspondent at the front observing German trenches through a periscope. The advertisement emphasizes Leslie's 54-year history covering major conflicts and appeals to American subscribers' patriotic duty to stay informed about the war.
