German Submarines Cause Inter-

London Feb. Again British in
tercst in the military activities on the
continent has been overshadowed by
the fact that Germany has brought
the combat to Great Britain's front
door.
What is regarded here as the new
German policy of submarine block
ade OF British ports is temporarily eff
fectual, at least in the case OF Bel
fast, where sailings have been suspend
ed. The Liverpool authorities. how
ever, announce that no interruption in

Heavy fighting has been resumed
along the Warsaw front in Poland,
after a long period OF comparative in
activity. An official communication
from Petrograd describes battles along

with bayonets from trenches they had
captured. two companies Of their sol

Germans later undertook an attack
upon the Russian advance trenches,
and succeeded In gaining one position.
In France and Flanders the situa.

WORK OF SUBMARINE
PLEASES GERMANS

Berlin, Feb. 2.-The German news
papers comment extensively on the
German submarine raid in British
home waters.
We hope that the commercial war
now taken up by German submarines
IN British home waters" says the
Tages Zeitung, will strike at the root
OF the British transoceanic trade"
Captain Persius. the naval expert
of the Berliner Tageblatt, has this to
say Of the event In his paper:
Especially remarkable is the thea
ter of new action. Hitherto the most
advanced point where our submarines
displayed activity was in the westerly
outlet of the channel, but hencefor-
ward the English merchant navigation
will have to reckon with other Ger
man submarine dangers which 1t can
only avoid when 1t stops traffic
The Post says sarcastically
We see that England's attempt to
cut of the supply of victuals by him
dering All foreign trade has great
promises"

and Ruhrach diet in Health and Dis
ease" Philadelphia, 1900.
Let us consider the average Ameri-
can beer which contains about 5.6A
per cent alcohol and 4.27 per cent
carbohydrates. One quart of this aver
age American beer contains a little less
than ounces of alcohol and a little
less than l liz ounces of sugar and
dextrine. The much carbohydrate In
the market costs less than half cent.
The food value of one quart of beer
would therefore be 1915 calories but
one quart of beer costs 15c % the
working man and CSC to 30c to the
man who buys the higher grades in
bottles
Fifteen cents Will buy three pound
loaves of bread containing 3.3s ounces
of muscle and brain building protein
and 1926 ounces of fuel furnishing
fats and carbohydrates, the whole re-
presenting 3620 calories of food value
nearly 22 IL times as much nourish-
ment as Ia supplied by 15c worth of
beer.
Far more important, however, than
this econ omic phase of the problem is
the physiological damage done by
nearly two ounces OF alcohol.
Alcohol Is a narcotic, poisonous drug
that .dulls the senses and takes the
keen edge off the working power of a
man. While it is readily oxidized in
the liver when not taken in excess of
L u ounces per day, that oxidation
Is a. protective one as shown by DIR.

energy. Furthermore, this protective
oxidation while protecting the nervous
system from smaller quantities Of al
Cohol---lp to / LIZ ounces daily--is
accomplished at a sacrifice Of other
important things and The individual
who must thus oxidize alcohol to pro-
tect the nervous system against II Ia
far more amenabie to all sorts of
toxins than Ia the individual, the oxi-
dining power OF whose liver may be
turned against such toxins, oxidi.;ing
them and making them harmless.
Summing up the matter we find that
the man who uses q quart of beer
daily expends enough for 1t to buy
three loayes OF bread for his family.
He gets for himself q trivial amount
of nourishment worth half a cent ana
incidentally takes his system nearly
two ounces of narcotic poison, the
influence OF which is to make him
less alert, and therefore more amen
able to accidents, to make him less
efficient and therefore more likely to
lose his job. and to make him more
likely to suffer from toxins and infec-
lions.
