The history Of American wars is one OF gallans
deeds on the part of officers and men, but 1t Is also
one of hasty and extemporized organization This
has always led to undue loss Of life and heavy financial
burdens.
Our success in our early wars was due more to the
weakness of our enemies and to the fact that they had
military engagements elsewhere than to wise prepara-

forces or leaders. We have always relied upon our
