RESISTANCE OF
ONE FORT GREAT

Waelhem, Belgium. Nov. 17.-No
point in the outer circle Of Antwerp's o
fortifications was as stubbornly con-
tested as Fort Waelhem. Its resist
ance to the German heavy guns was
due to the comparatively little mason
ry in it's construction. 1t was an old
fashioned fortifcation, largely earth
work.
It was demonstrated here that shell
from the German 42-centimeter guns
penetrated little more than a meter
into solid earth. At other fortifca-
tions shells from these same guns
penetrated concrete and STONE to twice
that distance. ~
The village of Waelhem lies imme-
diately behind the fort, so directly in
the line of German fire that not a
building in the place. which had q
THOUSAND Inhabitants, escaped de-
struction.
A garrison Of several hundred Ger
mans is now engaged In repairing the
fort and it's disabled guns. The place
is visited daily by thousands of Bel
CLANS who wander over the earth
works furrowed everywhere by Ger
man shells and gather about the
mounds which the Germans have
heaped up over their dead.

LIQUOR Al ASRURY PARK.

Asbury park, where, in November
the National w. c. T. L. held its
fortieth annual convention, has a resi-
dent population Of 25,000, and more
than a million people visit the city
each summer Its founder made in
every deed restriction against the
manufacture or sale of Intoxicating
liquor, although as far as he knew,
there was not at that time another
seaside resort or incorporated town on
the American continent or in Europe
where In the deeds the sale of liquor
was prohibited. Crackers and timid
ones predicted that total abstin-
ence seaside resort only fifty miles
from New York could never be a sue
cess. The result has proved the con
trary. Asbury Park is the social and
commercial center of the north New

States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their own number. the
speakers attempted to show up their

Among the statements made were
these:

Granting that these figures are cor

their wages and salaries" the amount

l,400 brewing plants are found to be
quite as serious a drain upon the
country's assets dts finances and its
citizenship as are the distilleries
which some of the beer men are try.
ing to put out of business.
AS regards the amount Of grain
used by the brewers. let us listen to
Prof. John A. Nichols of Boston. who
has made an exhaustive study Of the
drink question from the financial and
industrial viewpoint. Following is an
excerpt from his text book, Eco
nomic Studies in the Liquor Prob
lem prepared for the course of study
of the young peoples branch of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.
Investigation shows that only
very small part of the farmers pro
ucts are taken by the breweries and
distilleries. For instance. during the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1911, ia
50S,S55 bushels of barley, wheat, rye
corn and oats were used in making
alcoholic liquors But the farmers
raised, during the year 1910. a total
OF 5,143,1S7,0 900 bushels of these same
grains and this shows that the liquor
traffic uses less than two and a half
per cent. of the five leading grain
crops of the land. For every bushe
of grain used by the breweries and
distilleries more than fo~ty-four and
three-fifths bushels are used for legi-
innate food purposes. One of every
one hundred dollars worth of grain
sold by the farmer the brewer and
distiller buy about $2.2512 worth"
Query: II brewers and distillers
combined use less than 2la per cent
of the farmers grain. what proportion
IS used by the brewers alone7)
