A mechanistic view of war and peace . s. The increasedadrenalin output mobilizes the circulation in thelimbs; withdraws blood from the abdominal area;causes increased heart action and dilatation of thepupils. In addition, the increased acidity causes in-creased sweating, increased thirst, and increasedurinary output, all of these water phenomena beingadaptations for the neutralization of acidity. Thus the intense activation of the soldier waitingunder fire for orders is explained on mechanisticgrounds, and the resultant changes in the brain, theadrenals, and the liver are easily demonstrable.

Itis this strong stimulation of the kinetic system tofight or to flight that in the first experience some-times results in fleeing. The subsequent stimulusis never so intense as the primary stimulus, and withexperience the kinetic system is progressively lessdriven, until at last the soldier is said to besteady under fire. The Charge Soldiers say that they find relief in any muscu-lar action; but the supreme bliss of forgetfulness is. J
