THE BREW OF OLYMPUS

THE 'HOFFMAN," corner of Hotel
and Nuuanu streets, claims to be the
Banner resort for gentlemen and
holds the flag. l.. II. Dee, the pro-
prietor, has attained success in his
line, by specially and personally super
yising everything connected with his
establishment. He now introduces to
his patrons olympia Beer" This
brew is from the Capital Brewing
Co." of Olympia, the capital of the
State of Washington, and was received
by the "Garonne." Mr.. Schmidt the
leading spirit of this corporation, is
practical Chemist and Brewer. and
after years of search and investigation
located his plant at Olympia, on ac-
count of the peculiar virtues of the
water of the Tum Falls, stream that
is noted for it's distinctive qualities of
clearness, GOODNESS and lack of mineral
and decaying vegetable impurities.
Pure beer can only be made with pure
water, and Tum water is traditional
in Washington with the Indians and
original white settlers. The Olympia
Draught" is under the special control
and agency of Mr.. Dee and he invites
his patrons and friends to a personal
test and is willing to abide by their
judgment on the merits of his latest
venture.

Per Capita.

Though the expense in each of the
cases named is 80 per cent greater
than the per capita expense for mill
tary establishment in the United
States, it seems to apply impartially
to states which have colonies and
states which have not. to states re-
curing military protection again
insurrection and to those which do
not, to states which have the tradi-
tions of warfare and to states. like
Switzerland. which are devoted to
peace. Moreover, it is found by com
parison, that those European countries
which are included in the number of
the great powers and which are
popularity supposed to be staggering
under a great burden of vast stand
ing army. eXpend no more per capita
than do the minor states, and in some
cases scarcely as much. The per CAPT
ia expense of Italy for military pur-
poses was $l.41 last year, and of Rus
STA, great military nation, Sill.
Germany spent more per capita than
did France. and is spending more
this year. Holland eNpends S192 per
capita, though as is pretty well
known, the Dutch troops are not
usually regarded as a menace to the
peace of Continental Europe.

THE EXPENSE Of ARMIES
WHAT EUROPE NOW PAYS FOR
HER SOLDIER BOYS.
The Second Rate Powers Pay More
Per Capita for Their Military Than
the Great Ones.

In the various discussions in the
! United States Congress as to the mill
tary policy of the United States fire.
Quent alluSion was made to the pres
ent war budgets of various countries
shown i'm the authentic Revue de Sta
tistiuue of Paris. That bulletin gave
in detail, from the latest official
sources, the war budgets of various
European countries compared with
the war expenses of American. Asiatic
and African countries, and it's accu-
racy was certified to by the chief of
the Bureau of Statistics of the United
States Treasury Department.
The figures showed how very light
in the past and how light in the flu
ture will be the expense of the mill
tary establishment of the United
States as compared with other coun-
tries; how it is now less per capita
than that of any European country,
however poor, however bankrupt,
however depleted in population and
resources. 1t showed. too. that one
generally accepted view of military
matters i'm Europe was erroneous.
This view was that the great powers
of Europe. England, France. Ger
many. Russia. Austria and Italy were
armed against each other" each
prepared at short notice to assume
the defensive, and imposing upon the
other the necessity of sustaining at
whatever cost an army establishment.
and that the minor European govern
ments enjoyed all the benefits of nel-
traIity. and were able to pursue in
tranquility the paths of peace without
any necessity of payment of onerous
war taxes. without maintaining an OPP
pressive standing army, and without
being called upon to take from the
pursuits of agriculture or commerce
the flower of the nation"
The official fiugres, however do not
bear out these statements, for they
show that all the minor European
countries spend substantially the
same amount per capita in military
the similarity being sur
prising. Here are the figures:
