Title continues:
In the first seven months after America's entrance into this war
for human freedom, enemy agitators in our midst caused
283,402 workers to lose 6,285,519 days of production.
Our war industries were heavily handicapped by this unpatriotic strife.

Shoot ships to Germany and help America win
Poster showing two ships at sea, the larger one painted in camouflage,
with text quoting Charles M. Schwab.
Treidler, Adolph, 1886-1981, artist
Text continues:
At this shipyard are being built ships to carry to our men "over there" - food, clothing, and the munitions of war.
Without these ships our men will not have an equal chance to fight.
The building of ships is more than a construction job
it is our chance to win the war.
He who gives to his work the best that is in him does his bit as truly
as the man who fights.
Delay means danger.
Are you doing your bit?
Are you giving the best that is in you to help your son, brother,
or pal who is "over there"?

Columbia calls
Enlist now for U.S. Army
designed by Frances Adams Halsted ;
painted by V. Aderente.
Print shows Columbia holding a flag and a sword while standing
on North America on top of a globe.
Includes text of a poem by Halsted in the lower right corner.
Caption label from exhibit "World War I ...":
Frances Adams Halsted (designer) and Vincente Aderente (painter)
Create Columbia Calls.
Convinced that war with Germany was inevitable,
Frances Adams Halsted wrote her poem, Columbia Calls, in 1916.
After America entered the war on April 6, 1917,
Halsted donated both her poem and accompanying image design
to the U.S. War Department.
Three months later, the New York Times announced plans to print 500,000 copies as a poster, intending to use the proceeds to establish
a home for orphaned children of American soldiers and sailors.
Painter Vincent Aderente, who executed Halsted's design,
had emigrated from Italy at age six, studied at the Art Students League
in New York City, and served as an assistant
to muralist Edwin Howland Blashfield.

Columbia calls
Awake! ye men from dreams of Peace
Nor sleep when danger’s near,
But flight Old Glory to the breeze
There are no cowards here!
Our fathers fought; like heroes died,
For years their blood they gave
That honor, home and Peace be ours:
Awake! Thy country save!
Our flag for honor ever stands
To lift the weak, to lead the free.
America, our blessed land,
Is calling, calling thee.
From North to South; from Sea to Sea
I hear the answering cry;
‘Thy sons forever shall be free
For thee will live and die!’
Then flight Old Glory to the main
Beneath her stars enroll,
For cowardice shall never stain
The glory of her folds.
The Stars and Stripes shall lead us on
A mighty host for right –
That Peace shall reign forevermore
And war from Earth take flight.
Save Serbia our ally.
