CHAPTER FIVE.
Hell.
SECTION ONE: MODERN MURDERING MACHINERY.
Ah, so you are on your way to the recruiting station, are you? Well,
there will be plenty of time to enlist tomorrow, and there are also
seven days of next week that have not been touched yet. Do not be in a
hurry to sign your name. Wait a little—wait at least till you have read
the first two sections of this chapter.
Perhaps you are feverish.
Cool off before you enlist.[67]
Go back to the 60’s and read three or four lines of American Civil War
history before you enlist. Here they are in the words of a distinguished
authority, A. S. Bolles:[68]
“With the swift cooling of the war fever bounties became necessary
to stimulate enlistment.... In 1861 the highways were filled with
volunteers eagerly rushing to the front; but in 1865 they went with
much slower pace and with a much better conception of the hazardous
game of war.”
