The Journal believes that the stress and hard mental Work . of this uge tend Inevitably , to the reassertion of the-primitive ; impulses. Something had to snap and when it did the re suit was the war. Other na tions accuse Americans of ' liv ing too fast. But they do not- see mai we cuiiiume uiwbiud with work to such degree that, if we don't let down on the play, we are',; apt to remain normal human be ings. For instance, the tired business man takes a couple of hours from the office and ? 8es to the ball grounds, where he yells like a Comanche Indian howls like a steam siren, cusses the visiting team and throws pop bottles at the umpire."'The women relieve the tension ' of modern life by dancing, or mo toring, or strenuous physical e-J ercise on the golf course or tennis courts. Use of tobacco is man's first aid toward relief of taut nerves. It is said that the sudjden stoppage . of drugs woulil result inevitably in a nation-wide irritability that would result in a possible social upheaval . American men work hard and live 'fast. It is better they should find re lief in harmless amusements and stimulants than to go on until something snaps and the result is war.
