Belgium--Buy Bonds," says another; and it is a general strain. The recruiting posters in particular have a freedom of design, a vigour and grip, which really tell. For when America came into the War, she started to hustle with all the feverish pent-up energy characteristic of the race. Posters like Christy's pretty girl in naval uniform exclaiming, "Gee! I wish I were a Man. I'd join the Navy"; Bancroft's ringing "To Arms!" and Whitehead's "Come on!" show a vigour and freshness which our official British recruiting posters never possessed. There was an air of glad youth in them which came like a Spring wind over our war-weary spirits. In America, as elsewhere, all forms of activity were announced by posters--Recruiting, Food Economy, Red Cross Work, Homes for Women in France, War Loans, the organising of Polish and Czecho-Slovak citizens,[4] all kinds of propaganda, were advertised by this means. It is unnecessary to draw further attention to Mr. Pennell's poster, "That Liberty shall not Perish from the Earth." He states his own intention in designing it: "My idea was New York City bombed, shot down, burning, blown up by an enemy, and this idea I have tried to carry out." He conveys, in an effective colour scheme, the impression of a purely imaginary air-raid--a raid that never was on sea or land--with results highly picturesque and impossible. It is to be reckoned, however, as one of the successful posters of the War. Adolph Treidler in several designs has justified the expectations founded on his pre-war work, as will be seen from one of his posters here reproduced (illustration No. 66). The work of Young and Morgan is worthy of the highest commendation; and for Raleigh's steady craftsmanship and noble designs there can be nothing but praise. VI.--OTHER COUNTRIES To make a comprehensive survey of posters related to the War in all countries where they were issued would be a formidable task, not so much on account of the quantity of work of outstanding artistic merit, but because the range and variety of mediocre posters, which probably answered their purpose with tolerable efficiency at the moment, is so very extensive. All the nations engaged in the combat had something to proclaim in this manner, often a message of life or death, and others had much to display in propaganda posters all over the world.
