DRINKING HABITS
Believes German Students Are
Consuming Entirely Too
Much Beer.
Especial Cable to The Times. Dispatch.
by COUNT Won ELPHBERG.


Berlin. May 14.-The Kaiser has
stven another proof OF his imperial
freedom OF spirit by condemning the
beer-drinking habits OF German stu
dents.
Among young men at the universe
ties of this country the excessive
drinking OF beer is not regarded mere
ly as pardonable Indulgence, but as
positive virtue Many OF the stu
dent clubs. or corps" as they are
to encourage the consumption OF NAL,
liquor. IN most cases they impose on
their members the obligation to at
tend during term certain number of
"beer evenings" at which for hour
after hour mugs are einptied in eager
rivalry.
For some years past there has been
strong reaction aiming the more
thoughtful students themselves against
this custom, which Is undoubtedly to
some degree responsible for the I'm
seemly corpulence Of so many young
men in this country, to say nothing
of more serious consequences.
During his visit to Alsace, the En-
peror took occasion to address an
earnest protest against this drinking
practice. which he described as a
great disadvantage for the German
nation as well as for the individual
student" Both, he said. fell in con-

WAR PREDICTION
MORE THAN GUESS
Italy and Austria Both Rapidly
Preparing for Hostili-
ties.
tspeoiaLcable to The Times-Dispateh. J
by CAMILLE CIANFARRA.

Rome. May 1.-THE prediction that
tho wear 1913 will see more than one
war seems founded on more than
guess. rho news from Vienna tha'
the independent dock yards were TO
Law the keels of four Dreadnoughts at
their own risk, and "only in view or
the present political situation" and
the subsequent statement that the four
Dreadnoughts would in the end be
bought by Austria have stirred 1taiian
public opinion. and the press is urging
the government to meet Austrias new
move by charging the present naval
program. -,
come TO an end, and although 1t Is
officially affirmed that 1t viii be re-
newed, many facts point TO possio4e
dissolution That Austria Is getting
ready and that Italy is striving marc
10 meet her on an equal footing Is
more than clear.
since Austria annexed Bosnia and
made plain her aspirations in the Bal
kan states, Italy has engaged on a
vast military and naval program, the
size of which has taxed all the re-
sources of her treasury. The con-
struc.ion of three Dreadnoughts was
Immediately decided.on. and 100000
600 were voted to be spent IN new
fortiacations on Italy's eastern from
tiers and the renewal of her war ma
tcrial.
on the other hand, the utmost
secrecy has been kept about the Aus
trian military program. and 1t was
only the other day that the Italians
discovered that their ally was quietly
preparing to Guido them even on the
sea.
1t is a well-known fact that in 1905
upon the> annexation OF the two prov
inces war was only averted because
of the strong opposition Of the old
Austrian Emperor. The present heir
to the throne. Archduke Ferdinand
has made no secret Of his aversion to
Italy, and the death of the Emperor
may mean war even before 1913
The other day the Tribuna officially
declared that the Italian fleet is ready
TO take the sea within twenty-four
hours. and that every ship has had
her full complement Of men and am
munition during the last ten months.
To-day the same paper announces
that the government has set aside s2.-
100000 for the construction of whole
fleet of dirigible balloons.
