Artillery is the sup- porting arm par excellence. It is composed of arms served by men, but here man is the second part. The material here unites the men, and the power of the piece is the reason for their being. The man fights only by serving the machine. Within certain limits losses of men do not affect the fighting efl^iciency of the battery. Trembling nerves and muscles do not diminish the accuracy of its fire — its sole fighting power. Even with severe losses it can continue firing, which ...suffers in effec- tiveness only as a frightened brain and trembling muscles cause errors in setting of sights and fuses. So the artillery constitutes as it were the bone of an army — its solid part. Its morale — and here we -may give morale its true definition, namely, re- sisting power — its resisting power, therefore, resides in its fixed position, its relative weight of metal thrown and in its collective employment. The artil- lery personnel is collected in one place and always under direct comand— that is, the individual artil- leryman never feels himself isolated.
