An International Complex.

What were perhaps the two prin-
cipal fresh" news stories of yester-
day offered together vivid evidence Of
that psychological complex with which
America, with the rest Of the world,
is today afflicted. The one dealt with
the assertion that the British govern
ment proposes to initiate converse
tions with Japan and the United
States regarding the limitation Of
naval ornaments. The other an
nounced the discovery of a new ma
chine capable Of driving steel slugs
through boiler plate without noise or
shock.
Readers Of the first story, or, at
least, a vast majority Of them, under
went the elemental psychological! rs-
action of relief. They have been
wishing for a definite move toward
halting competition in naval building:
they have developed a keen hunger
for that easing of the tax burden
which would be involved; they are
eager for clear evidence that the
world powers are ready to walk the
road leading to the peaceful adjust
ment of international disputes. So
the assertion that at last one of the
nations concerned has reached a point
in the preliminaries where it Is ready
to come to the front with a concrete
proposal for action toward the desired
end resulted in metaphorical world
wide sigh.
And then, passing on to the other
story-that of the new machine
came the second reaction, which,
elemental enough in itself, makes. in
combination with the one already out
lined, the predominant complex of
civilization today. Dealing with it, to
inventor, reporter. headliner and
reader the same thoughts presented
themselves. Steel slugs-boiler plate
"a gun! An engine Of war. How big
a projectile could the invention be
made to handle? Five tons' How far
could it be made to hurl such a mass?
Between 200 and 800 miles! Noise
less, smokeless, without recoil. for all
that it is dependent upon gunpowder
for its motive force. What superb
instrument to our hands! How fear
some an enemy come into possession
thereof!
Never thought, save as aftermath.
to the many peaceful and useful ends
to which the invention might be put.
A super-cannon!
The thoughts Of the warrir-, TIE
man in whose mind war is ever up
permost; the elemental psychological
reaction Of one ready, if not eager,
for fight. Each simple enough in
itself, one finds in the combination Of
the two indicated ref1exes a complex
which lies at the base Of nearly every
phase of the psychology of civiliza-
ton today. Talk of disarmament and
eager interest in the possibilities Of
each development Of armament. Anx.
iety for peace and readiness for war,
whether in matters Of national, or
class, or group, or individual conten-
ton; whether the subject be diplo-
matte, or political, or Industrial,
or religious in nature. Araen-
able to reason, yet withal truculent.
The complex is too involved to be
long enduring. Shortly one Of its
components must blot out the other.
Upon the matter Of which shall tri-
umph depends the ultimate fate of
civilization.

1914. The negro warrior scored a
victory on points in 20 rounds.
Moran; was game and stubbornly
stood up to Johnson's assaults, which
had not the steam of the champions
earlier attacks. Johnson possessed
all of his old-time skill. however.
There was not single Touchdown
nor anything that 'snlacked of a finish

and his incessant uppercutting kept
Moran in subsection. Moran's attack
lacked the power to- dispose of his
adversary. f ''@ MN
The crowd was as cosmopolitan as
Paris itself. There were barons and
dukes at the ringside, and earls and
duchesses, too. Sporting men of many
stations, clad in the formal evening
garb with which Europe honors it's
boxers, were part of the throng. .
johnson was proud of his victory,
for it was the first time that cham
pion as old as he had ever defended
his title and won. He was then So
