Its caption, "Remember this may be our last mobilization," gives the drawing its edge. In 1914, mobilization meant calling up troops and reserves, and the mobilizations that summer had pushed much of Europe into war. The cartoon likely ran in the Washington Star, and it reflects the debate over American preparedness that filled the press while the United States remained neutral. Commentary cartoons like this one used a single line of text to make a wry point about whether a nation could avoid being drawn into a conflict it had not chosen. The artist and exact publication date are not confirmed, so treat those details as unverified.
