BEER WORSE THAN WHISKY.

This is what the Home Life Insur.
ance company Of New York has to say
about beer: .........
"Of all Intoxicating drinks, 1t is the
most animalizing. It dulls the intel.
'ectual and moral and feeds the sen.
,ual and beastly nature. Beyond all
other drinks. 1t qualities for deliberate
and unprovoked crime. In this re.
spect it is much worse than distilled
liquors. A whisky drinker will com.
init murder only under the direct ex.
element of liquor, a beer drinker il
capable of doing it in cold blood. Long
observation has assured ~ that q
large proportion of murders deliberate.

sion or malice. with no other motive

DEADLY TORPEDO
RULER OF SEA
Lost LusIta6la an Example of
Submarine Dangers.

THE torpedo Is rapidly proving
itself as the real terror, the
real ruler, OF the sea- The aw-
full disaster OF the Lusitania
Is but a dire example OF what this COM
paratively new and frightful engine of
destruction can accomplish. A torpedo
fitted with the newest type Of gyro-
scope rudder is more deadly than a
shell from the biggest naval gun, and
the accuracy with which It glides
through the water to its prey is almost
uncanny.
As soon as a torpedo hits its mark It
explodes automatically, and there are
only two methods Of defense against It.
One Is to locate and shell the attack
ing torpedo boat or submarine; the 9TH
er to drop steel wire nets all round the
ship. These nets are by no means an
infaIlible protection, however. The
want Of protection afforded the Lusi-
tania has been generally criticised. She
had no nets. and there were no torpedo
boats or submarine destroyers on hand
to protect her.
Torpedoes OF modern type, fired in
salvos, have scored one hit In three
shots at a range OF three and three
quarters miles in actual experiments
made by the German navy. 1t was
claimed last year that a squadron
could be attacked at six and a quarter
miles.
The German torpedo or torpedoes
that destroyed the Lusitania were fired
at a range Of not more than 1000
yards, and the tOrpedOes themselves
probably Travelled at a speed In excess
OF forty knots. The submarine or sub
marines from which the weapons We're
discharged were submerged not more
than fifteen feet, and they had plenty
OF time to get the exact range before
the torpedoes were discharged. Fur

The town Of Ypres Is situated only
twenty miles from the French frontier
and was In Olden times the capital of
fiOurishing Flanders. Times were very
troubled in those days, as they are
just now, and Ypres took a prominent
part in all the great events The town
was attacked by both the French and
English with Ypres fighting sometimes
on one side and sometimes on the 9TH
er. 1t suffered greatly during the great
religious wars Of the middle ages, and
nearly all the great armies Of Europe
have at one time or another marched
through Ypres. In the fourteenth Gen.
fury it had 100000 Inhabitants, but at
the opening Of the present war 1t had
barely 1900. Its famous Cloth Han
and the Cathedral OF st. Martin were
its principal and most interesting struc-
lures To Cloth Hall In the olden times
cloth merchants came to sell their
wares, and the building was the finest
