What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine contains WWI-era military humor and advertisements. The main content includes: **"Fun from the Fighters"** — A column reprinting jokes from Army and Navy publications. The humor targets military life: a joke about German-captured towns causing digestive upset; an "Our Ladies' Column" with advice to soldiers' girlfriends about vaccination marks and short skirts; and a quip about a deserter's escape. **Advertisement content** dominates: Allen's Foot-Ease powder (promoted as essential military equipment), Hotel Marseilles, and Romeike's press clipping service. The cartoons are simple, supporting the text: one shows military barracks life; another depicts a lookout soldier. **The satire's point**: This page mocks both military bureaucracy (the obsession with foot powder as war equipment) and soldiers' romantic anxieties during WWI. The humor is gentle, patriotic — designed to entertain soldiers and home-front readers rather than critique the war itself. The overall tone assumes a audience familiar with military camp life and contemporary social attitudes about courtship and appearance.

HENRY ROMEIKE, 106-110 Seventh Ave., New York Our Ladies’ Column | By Aunt Marrua Snide Talks with the Girls r I X10 Corporal Colson, Annapolis—Yes, Ed- mond, we received your letter and are sorry you misconstrued the word we sent you when we re- plied to your question about your friend Gladys. When we sent back word that she had joined the great majority we did not mean that she had died; not at all; we simply meant that she had married a Marine named Smith. From Imogene, New York—Dear Aunt Mar- tha—There is a private at the barracks here named Beatty. (I have been running with him ever since Corporal Pressley left.) He has just been vaccinated and he tells me that everyone ought to be vaccinated as well, but I am afraid it might mark me so that it would show. Do you think it likely that it would? Answer: That depends entirely upon yourself, Imogene. They are wearing skirts very short this year.—The Ma- rines’ Magazine.

Though branded for life, he escaped the guard about two weeks ago, and has since been roaming the camp, and his escape has just come to light. His peculiar nature has made it pos- sible for him to subsist on anything and his disposition has made him friends.
