# Vennad ruttu rahva väkke (Brothers, Hurry into the People's Force)

A sepia recruiting poster bursts with jagged rays around the lettering 'Brothers, hurry into the people's force', with an armoured car above, two aircraft in the sky and a warship below. The force is already pictured as armed and moving, and readers are told to hurry to join it, so momentum is offered as the reason to enlist.
