Excerpt from The Advantages of Defeat Wherever the men were to provide themselves with anything to eat or to wear out Of their pay, they were found to suffer. There is no natural market, with fair prices, in the neighborhood of warfare, and, on the one hand, a man cannot Often get what he wishes, and, on the other, he is tempted to buy some thing not so good for him. If there are commissariat stores opened, there is an endless accumulation of business, - a mass of accounts to keep of the st0p pages from the men's pay. On all ao counts it is found better for all parties that the wants of the soldier should be altogether supplied in the form of rations of varied food and drink, and of clothing varying with climate and season.
