The crown prince OF japan sent a
consignment of sake" to the British
crews attacking Kiauchau. This bev-
erage, which should be drunk warm
to appreciate its full flavor, is of a
clear, light yellow color and tastes
like highly seasoned sherry. 1t is
made of steamed rice, treated by a
process which converts the starch
into sugar; fermentation sets in and
sake is produced. The character of
the water has a definite effect on the
liquor that results. Hence, for the
best quality of sake only the best wa
ter is employed. An excise duty
equivalent to 20 cents per gallon is
levied on sake, the amount thus raised
in 1912 totaling SOS. 900, 900. The name
is said to be derived from the town of
Osake, which, from time immemorial,
has been famous for sake brewing.

Already a large number of German
prisoners have been taken by the al
