Poster showing British soldiers conducting exercises while wearing gas masks. Text continues: Uncle Sam wants fruit pits and nut shells.

Any Red Cross Chapter will receive these contributions to victory. Caption: Group of British soldiers going through military drill with gas masks attached. When the Germans launched their murderous gas attacks they counted on a master stroke and the casualties were heavy.

Poster showing American and British soldiers in combat. Text continues: Government's message to employer and worker. Essential features of New Labor Program effective August 1st are: To all employers on war work: Get your help through the United States Employment Service and in no other way. To all other employers: Stop hiring help from another, stop poaching, stop running ads that take men from war work. And to all employees everywhere: Get your job through the nearest United States Employment Service and in no other way; let the Government and not some private employer tell you where you are best fitted, most needed. The Government is not drafting labor. It calls for Volunteers. So if you are patriotic do this: Until you are asked by the Government to make a change STICK TO YOUR PRESENT JOB, no matter where it is and work full time.
