To these must be added a certain mental shapelessness, which can expand or contract without reference to reason or record a potential infinity of excuses. If the English had been on the German side the German professors would have noted what irresistible energies had evolved the Teutons.

A new substance, possessing potential strategic value, may be wasted, and its surprise effect lost, in some local affair. This applies to the use of mustard gas by the Germans and to our own use of the Livens projector.
