In peace-time manoeuvres one had generally been told the direction from which to expect the enemy, hours before he actually came; now, when the great game was being played in real earnest, he found that he had to guess.
Under the favourable conditions of peace-time, communities and individuals do not have their hands forced by the logic of events, and can therefore act up to a higher standard. But war strips away all the margins of ordinary life and breaks in character to circumstance by its brutal training.
But the Allies were not only in difficulties with regard to the lack of suitable peace-time plant, and industrial organic chemical experience they were hindered at almost every turn by difficulties with regard to raw materials and intermediates, the products of other chemical manufacture. They had to create a liquid chlorine industry.
'Of course, we mean entirely different things by the word. She threw back her head slightly, with a gesture of scorn. 'We might argue that, if it were peace-time. But this is war! Your country my country has the German grip at her throat. A few months and we are saved or broken! the country that gave us birth all we have all we are! Her words came short and thick, and she had turned very white.
Mud roads and broad cross-country tracks brought us over the plain to the "Indian Transport Field," near Kruisstraat White Chateau, still standing untouched because, it was said, its peace-time owner was a Boche.

The ensign said negligently, pointing to the radar-screen: "That little speck is a plane making for the landing field on shore.
And, speaking of airplanes that work with the Navy, in 1933 we had 1,127 useful aircraft and today we have 2,892 on hand and on order. Nearly all of the old planes of 1933 have been replaced by new planes because they became obsolete or worn out. The Navy Is far stronger today than at any peace-time period in the whole long history of the nation.
The chattering, shouting crowd, almost invisible in the fog of steam as we walked through, made me realize how difficult a command this regiment of washerwomen constituted. The triumph was that they all appeared to be contented and fraternal. As every one knows one of the worst problems of the trenches was vermin. We entered a huge building used in peace-time for the purposes of dyeing.
