A mechanistic view of war and peace . THE VIVISECTION OF BELGIUM 87 and rapid heart action, and would activate the addition acidity would inhibit the activity ofthe cerebral cortex and thus mental and muscularpower would be diminished.

As a result of theexcessive transformation of energy and the want ofrest and sleep one would expect loss in weight, andas in cases of Graves disease, in which the kineticsystem is subject to a continuous excessive activa-tion, one would expect the Belgians to live years inmonths, and in consequence by so much to cut offthe total number of expected years of life. That we have not exaggerated what the protocolsof this vast experiment would lead us to expect isproved by the evidence of many observers. Therehave been many sudden deaths; many cases ofinsomnia; of neurasthenia; of prostration; oflost spirit and impaired efficiency; and generallya loss of hope and a
