# Judge Magazine, September 15, 1917 This page is primarily an **advertisement and editorial appeal** rather than political satire. The right page features "To Our Soldiers and Sailors"—a recruitment pitch encouraging servicemen to submit humorous contributions to Judge magazine. The accompanying illustration shows two uniformed soldiers, likely American Expeditionary Forces personnel (World War I era, given the 1917 date and military uniforms). The editorial explains that Judge seeks jokes and illustrations from soldiers and sailors themselves, offering to credit contributors and provide "personal credit for his work." This reflects the magazine's effort to maintain morale during WWI by publishing soldier-submitted content. The left page is a standard table of contents listing various articles and contributors.
