...right and platoons-left-front-into-line-double-time-march has taken second place to the more exacting sport of rushing imaginary trenches under an imaginary "hail of death" (as the war correspondents always describe it). The cinder-heaps are hills, the grass is forests, the fence is a wall of China, and the whole land is "terrain." A man may be a squad, a squad a company, and a company a regiment.

It is such a useless study. What chance will a Wall Street clerk ever have of applying his calculus to his life-work? And then, too, you know it is so dreadfully difficult. Men sometimes spend thirty consecutive minutes pondering over a lot of mysterious signs and symbols--really, it is pitiful...
