by the morbid mentality which seems to have
become prevalent in Europe. morbid enzy-
mic end result) AS a general statement the
people of Europe are now a sick people.
When individuals Of whole nation become
disordered through the chemical influence Of
those engines which are brought out by stress
of emotion we cannot anticipate very ra-
tional movement toward peace until sheer ex-
haustion compels cessation OF hostilities.
The angels doubtless have moments OF mer-
rinent when they observe the Prussian-a
synonyme for Notwithstanding upon
God for help to victory. Most OF the other
nations engaged in warfare are now calling
upon higher power for aid
Nature in order to conduct evolution brings
two fairly balanced forces against each other
and then sets them at work. very much as bad
boys set two bulldogs upon each other and
then bet upon the consequences OF the night
According to laws of continuity, men. chill
dren of nature. represent toy models OF their
mother.
LIFEPROCESSANE ENDLESS STRUGGLE
Inorganic crystalods are engaged in war
fare with each other and with organic colloids.
Various reigning organic coods are engaged
in warfare with each other and with crystal
loids. This warfare extends to the multiples
of colals. and man is one of these multiples.
Animals and vegetables so arrange their colals
as to develop organs Of offence and OF defence,
of commissary and of multiplication in order
to conduct their world business
The lowest forms of organic life sometimes
consisting of single cells) enter into strug-
gle with each other by means OF chemical cell
secretions which we call engines. Higher
forms of animal life enter into struggle
against each other with the aid OF tooth and
claw. still being actuated by the engines OF
their colals or tissue cells
The highest form of animal life-man-em-
ploys intelligence for making extension OF
tooth and claw in the form OF gun and sabre.
With these extensions from weapons furnished
by nature man goes into action against other
forms Of organic life. including his brother
man. still actusted by the engines OF his tissue
cells.
Warfare, please note. according to the law
OF continuity, is always enzymic IN all stages,
from the struggle between simple cells up to
the struggle between multiples of these simple
cells in the form of man or of some other ami
NAL
Men are inclined to make luxury OF their
emotions even to the point of becoming con-
noisseurs of more pleasurable emotions during
times OF peace. Such luxury, however, is al
ways expensive and has to be paid for like
any other luxury. The disagreeable emotions
which are liberated in response to desire for
warfare likewise have to be paid for.
The increased chemical action which occurs
in the presence of emotion leads to increased
scdty through carbon dioxide formation. A
man who becomes angry has become actually
sour IN all OF his tissues and may be giving
himself gall stones or hard arteries if he keeps
it up for prolonged period The same thing
is true when emotion is depicted for purposes
of our diversion. The actress who enters into
ing herself nephritis.
HOW BALANCE IS UPSET.
Under ordinary circumstances good chem
ical balance is kept between the effects OF that
degree Of emotion which is required for daily
activity and the motion which is called into
action by the emotion. 1t is only at times
when emotion runs by the capacity of the body

to the individual results
All nations which are engaged in competi-
ton with each other machines tor tras--
forming potential brain cell energy into kinstic
energy belonging to the motions OF ohsaee
and of defence
Grille recently secured photographs OF SOL
ders engaged in the war in Europe showing m
expression of high degree OF emotion, ono
which would be more or less destructive to the
individual There was one photograph OF q
soldier who killed captain and fourteen men
single handed. The photograph of the face
of this man (secured few moments after he
had completed his passage at arms) showed
such an intense effect of emotion that the SOL
der was evidently himself in dangerous po-
sition He was killing himself chemically and
might even die as result Of his own chem
istry which had been called out in the course
of his violent act.
Whenever the diplomats Of different nations
reach their limitations, thereby becoming
bankrupt Intellectually, they fall back upon
primitive ways Of coping with each other.
Frederick the Great expressed the opinion
that warfare between civilized nations would
recur at periods about FIVE years apart. War
fare which has been of direct interest to Aryan
nations alone during the fifty years Of my
observation has REQUIRED rather oftener than
once in five years, viz: Our Civil War. the
German Austrian, Franco Prussian, Serbo-
Bulgarian. Turco- Russian, Spanish-American.
