What you’re looking at
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.

She doesn’t know a thing about drill “Very true, dear. But she does give the most delightful luncheons!” keke KR RK ‘AR is a fierce business, but it has its humors. Many of the jests it develops are grim, and most of them are as definite as the explosion of a bomb or the crack of shrapnel. Thousands of jokes have come from the decks, from the field and from the trenches. They epitomize experiences that try men’s souls, and show the reaction to sanity. And the greatest relief the soldier or the sailor finds in the strenuous life he leads is in reading, at odd moments, the happier magazines sent to him by those back home who realize his need for relaxation. JUDGE wishes to encourage in our soldiers and sailors the habit of humor, and thus invites from them the jests and ‘‘wheezes” that spring from their active experiences on shipboard, in camp, at the front and mn the trenches. JUDGE will pay its customary rates for anything acceptable of this sort and will forward to such contributors copies of the magazine containing their efforts. And JUDGE will give each soldier and sailor personal credit for his work. Where the jests are susceptible of illustration, they will be handed to artists competent to picture them. And if it should happen that the soldier or the sailor himself discloses illustrative talent, that talent will be encouraged for the gratification of the amateur artist and the entertainment of JUDGE’S half million of readers. a wd SEND IN YOUR WORK, BOYS a ed JUDGE 225 FIFTH AVENUE, NEW YORK
