A sailor works signal flags, the wartime skill of relaying orders between ships, and the caption asks the viewer whether he will answer the same call. The American Lithograph Co. of New York printed it sometime between 1914 and 1918, a span that covers the naval buildup before the United States entered the war in 1917 and the heavy recruiting that followed. The text sends readers to recruiting stations or Navy League headquarters, the civilian group that had long campaigned for a stronger navy. Its appeal rests on service as a shared signal, a theme common in wartime recruiting art of the period.
