down into the water.

funk and sent TO this place.
"'rhe stories OF starvation In Port

untrue as stores and supplies are con-
stantly arriving at the besieged city
from Chinese ports. The japanese
blockade is ineffective.
"The garrison consists OF between
so. 900 and 90 900 troops and the health
of both soldiers and civilians is good.
"The damaged battleships have all
been repaired and the harbor entrance
cleared of obstruction. Immense new
forts have been constructed and, IN
my opinion, the place is In no imme'
date danger of falling into the hands
of the Japanese.

that for the first time in its his
tory Germany must yield the first
place among the nations in the
production of beer to the United

ed States consul general at Ber-

state department, says the fall
ing off in Germany's production
is largely due to the spread of
prohibition movements in that
country, according to statistics
prepared by the German Bre-
wers' association. The German
production for, the last year de-
clined to 1,787,6l5, 900 gallons,

killed by eating some kind of a
poisonous weed, but this was of

not amount to much, taking the
