Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nerves and the War
The first economy of human force comes from knowing and practicing the habit of resting entirely when one rests, whether it is a rest of five minutes or the rest for an entire night. This habit of economy means life and strength to a soldier. To this it may be answered: A soldier fights in such a spirit of ten sion that if he were to let down com pletely when he had five minutes to rest in safety, he would go to pieces with a snap, and could not recover him self when a quick call came for action.
