...will be much better material for an officers' camp if he has an opportunity such as this to gain the regular army spirit. In addition, an officer who has lived among the men as one of them will be more able to understand and appreciate them, and therefore to command their respect. Finally we must not sneer at the added training which we will receive; there are in the cantonments two features which cannot be obtained at a college camp; perfect equipment and the best instruction...
...raiding attracts general attention. When, as at present, the famous shock troops are being used persistently, we may be sure that it is not for the ordinary daily attrition. Raids have been made almost continuously, and with a remarkable intensity of artillery fire and fierceness of attack. The High Command is evidently feeling out the weak spot for the great attack.

...most amazing social change which the war has brought about is the transformation of our army from a small command of miscellaneous volunteers into a gigantic union of the fighting citizens of the Nation. More than a million men, selected for their youth, their courage, and their virility, are to present America to Europe in the guise of warriors, and in all the pictures which we have been permitted to see of them they are so unmistakably of the New World that only a glance is needed to distinguish them from a group of French or British soldiers, fine, upstanding...
