The piece critiques the IWW for exploiting the very government and army it denounces while deported agitators rely on state aid. It lampoons leaders distant from hardship who enjoy plenty, noting the irony of feeding on a system they oppose and questioning the outcomes of direct action.
The Marine Band of Washington, long a presidential symbol, reportedly received permission to accompany the United States to the French front. The piece recounts history from Lincoln to Cleveland and a Carter Harrison speech that saved the band from removal, noting its ties to Chicago politics and multiple terms of the Harrison family as mayor.
