Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frontiers of Freedom As Mr. Dooley somewhere remarks, there is a great difference between a "Sicretary of War" and a "Sicretary of A War." The first, to be sure, is in days of peace, the Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds in the District of Columbia and the President of the Panama Railroad Company; he is Chairman of the National Forest Reservation Commission and Superintendent of Cleaning and Repairing the Statue of Liberty; he is administrator of laws relating to National Cemeteries and overseer of bridge construction on navigable streams; he has a multitude of other pastoral functions that have not the slightest relationship to the great god Mars. But the second - the war-time Secretary - fights a Nation's battles; he hears its censure and sometimes its praise; he is the subject of smoking-car debate and Congressional inquiry. Within the bounds of No Man's Land, a people to-day shut off from civilization by the ingrained iniquity of its rulers, seeks to fathom his plans and measure his potentialities.
