The Spirit Of The Mings Regenerated: Recruiting Methods Explained

BY T. PAUL GREGORY..

Man-power is the first consideration of any army. Without a sufficiency of soldiers no nation can endure the agony of a lengthy war.

No matter how ad- vanced the degree of an army's mechanization, the brunt of battle must be borne by the rank and file. It is these largely unsung heroes in the front line trenches who make victory possible, and upon whose morale depends the successful culmination of any struggle.
