It reads "Uncle Sam''s ''Army'' will be needed at home on account of political conditions. He can only send 500,000 men over seas at most." The cartoon is a caricature of a popular painting by German genre painter Leo Hermann. German leaders were convinced that the Americans would not be able to contribute enough troops to influence the outcome of the war. By the time the war ended, however, more than two million Americans had arrived in Europe, more than the entire British army on the Continent. MEDIUM:1 drawing.
