IV Time required to mature Physique 6 5 if men are unduly worked, as they always will be in very weak battalions, the army obtains a bad reputa- tion, and becomes less popular with those to whom we look to fill its ranks. At one time also there was a great cry rais...ed against the recruits, because they were not effective as soon as could be wished.
