PROTEST, IN EFFECT

-IceIAChCSUNA S<byS
Communication on Deportation of
Belgians Is Taken as Condemnation.
London, Nov. 16.-Commen ting on
the announcement from Washington
that instructions have been sent to
Joseph G.. Grew, American charge at
Berlin, to take up with the German
government the matter of deportation
Of Belgian civilians into Germany, the
Manchester Guardian says the plain
man will think this amounts to a pro-
test adding:
eff, therefore, such a measure is
conveyed to the German chancellor,
we welcome it, not because any
change in the German policy is likely
to follow but because it is at any
rate a declaration that the latest Ger
man offenses concern not only the
powers at war but America also and
by Inference, the whole Of humanity"
While short of a formal Judgment
on some of the German abomina-
tons in the conduct Of the war; the
Guardian says America Els doing great
service in the cause Of humanity and
giving powerful reinforcement to the
cause of the Allies when she pro-
nounces, however, informally, her
opinion of Germany conduct of the
war"

No man can do his best unless hs
Is happy. Joy and efficiency go hant
IL hand.
This is a truism the force OF which
Is being more and more emphasized
by scientific investigators OF human
nature. One Of these. the American
psychologist. George Van Ness Dear
born, has even written an entire
book about II.
His book. The influence OF Joy.
Is published today II Is little
book. but weighty with information
that everybody ought TO have.
He does not deal in glittering gen
eraiities. Instead. he reviews in q
concrete. solid way the results o.
studies made by him and other ply
siologists into the effects produced
BY happiness on the physical sys
tenn.
He tells OF remarkable expert
r1ents tried both on animals and on
human beings. The object OF these
was to ascertain definitely what
changes take place in the heart, the
blood vessels. the stomach. the
nerves. the muscles. the glands, all
the bodily structure, when different
emotional states are felt.
The result Of these experiments. as
he clearly shows, is a conclusive
demonstration that Joy has a dyna-
mic. energizing influence on every
part and process OF the human
body. And. because Of its beneficial
influence on the body. IL increases
mental power as well.
The improvement in circulation.

suits from JOY necessarily has il
good effect on the brain. Physically
