A June 20 1917 piece urges citizens to reinforce Allied forces, stresses the need for conscripts and volunteers, and cites ongoing enlistment totals, food and war production concerns, and returned soldiers. It notes American troops landing in England and U S military mobilization estimates, with Canadian and British wartime measures.
The piece debates voluntary service versus conscription amid wartime, noting the reluctance of Britons to urge others to fight. It warns of age misstatements by ineligible recruits, and mentions rumblings in Russia about coercing women into action. It argues public opinion may shift toward conscription while valuing those who enlist out of duty.
