rest Of Us did at the beginning Of the

ergy and enthusiasm with Organiza-
ton; Of imagining that war is an
exact science like the administration
Of a string Of factories or newspapers:
OF supposing that the voluntary
worker is as valuable a human asset
as the paid servant OF the state.
I read Of orders for all sorts OF
naval and military supplies. the ma
ture Of which we have already proved
70 be wrong.
I read of orders for standardized
material given in such large guam
titles as TO render the constant i'm
provements wrought By war practice
almost impossible.
I see pictures o. armored automo-
biles and OF other devices that we re-
gard as comparative failures.
