 "A reciprocal respect for the inter n~t rwE etxn ought to be sn integral principal ot the administration and should give tt each the certainty of being under stood when he speaks his own lang. uage and assure to him his full intel lectual development especially higher education"
 In regard to the future status, h, declared:
 Belgium, victorious and freed from the neutrality that was impos. ed upon her by states which hay, been shattered to their foundation b, war, will enjoy complete independ. ence.
 'Belgium, re-established in all it rights, will rule its destinies accord ing to it's aspirations and in suIl soy ereignty."

ONLY IS MONTHS
WHISKY STOCK
Americans Are Drinking Them
selves Out of Supply at
Rapid Rate.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 80.

Whisky bibbers Of the country, at their
present rate of consumption, are drink
ing themselves out Of 4 supply. So rapid
is the rate that all of the whisky in the
United States will be gone IN eighteen
months, the summer of 1919.
This is the conservative estimate Of
government officials, who have been
watching the rate Of flow from the ware
houses since the Presidents proclama-
tion stopping distilling on September =
There are only about I57 100000 gallons
left in these warehouses.
The normal per capita consumption OF
whisky in the United States Is about
one gallon n wear This is statistical
way of saying the annual normal con-
sumption IS 100 600, 900 gallons year
At this rate the available supply, hgur-
ing from February /, viii last little
more than eighteen months, but expert
authorities say that the odd 1000, 900
will be absorbed during the eighteen
months period and that all the whisky
left on August |. 1919, will be in private
hands and that it will not be much at
that.
There is q comparatively large supply
of whisky in private hands which the
experts cannot trace. 1t is expected
JnaI the supply uCiu ny SoAhSulA1Sio -
increase in ratio as the stocks in the
warehouses go down. This is where

the Presidential proclamation there were
approximately I65 1000 900 gallons Of
whisky in the country. Since Septcm-
Der s there has been no legitimate dis
tillinC and no whisky can be imported.
Beer consumption has fallen of rapidly
under prohibition, but there is no dimlnu-
ton in the amount Of whisky that IS
apparently consumed despite the spread
Of dry territory.
With the whisky famine VIII come a
drop in the government revenues OF ap-
proximatelv $500, 600, 900 year. The
present tax on whisky is $500 n gallon
