Drafting labor is theoretically as sound as drafting an army. Practically it meets with the overwhelming opposition of the nation's entire public opinion. It is for this reason that the Government has diverted labor into more essential channels by means of the military draft, a method devoid of the repulsiveness of more direct labor compulsion and yet equally effective in practice. In threatening immediate military service for those not employed in essential industry, a real incentive is supplied toward securing a more perfect war organization.

Mr. Dill's efforts to create atmosphere are at the same time overdone and stereotyped. His method is cumulative rather than selective, and for that reason he fails to convince. Mr. Sparks, though he is more successful, shows the disposition, frequent in the immature realist, to shock his reader by calling every spade a blasted shovel. In saying this I am aware that I am committing a sin which might be termed reviewer's overemphasis...
