To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Although France survived the economic strain of the war of 1870, it doesnot follow that she could endure the far greater strain of a campaignunder the new conditions. Her industrial population, like that ofGermany, would be ruined, and the resulting misery might well lead torevolution. A great European war, then, would bring about the economic prostrationof every nation engaged in it, and would be a cause of violent danger tothe fabric of society. Another problem of modern war remains to be con...sidered--the conditionand care of the wounded. Modern weapons of precision can not only killor wound more accurately and at greater distances than the olderweapons, but have more penetrative power. A rifle bullet of to-day willpass through three or four bodies, shattering and splintering any bonesit may encounter in its course. Hence wounds will be more numerous thanthey have ever been; and, owing to the unwieldly size of armies and thepoor physical condition of many of the men, sickness will be more commonas well.
