BELGIAN'S GREAT SMOKERS, Consume Afore Tobaeeo Per Head Than Other People. That the Belgians, in their times of happy peace and prosperity, con- sumed more tobacco per head than any other country in the world will probably come as a surprise to many people. Their array of smok- ers, however, formed no less than one-third oi: theentire population of the country, their ,annual con- sumption of tobacco being 6 1-41b. per head—more than three times the amount consumed in the United Kingdom, and six tines as much a,s in Italy. And it was his lave foe a goose pipe which led the Belgian to inaug- urate smoking competitions, when enthusiastic devotees of "My Lady Nicotine" competed for various prizes. Nearly every village, no matter how small, could boast its "Rooketsmaatschappij," which al- most unpronounaceable word is equivalent for what we term "Smokers' Club." At these compe- titions it was the custom to compete for money prizes, the winner being decorated.with some floral adorn- ment planedon their breasts, as visible proof of the honor achieved. The premier smoking club of Bel- gium was the Bruges Smoking Club, which held its meetings'at'a certain cafe in the Grande Place. The room in which the members .met was de- corated with a gorgeous : banner, tactile on the walls wan to be seen an assortment of curious pipes, re- pre -senting ait11 corners of the globe. In fact, the placewas'-a veritable museum of pipes. Members were only • :permitted to enter the Bruges Smoking Club af- ter reaching theage of eighteen. Cigars and cigarettes' were tabooed, the pipe being. looked 'upon as the only justifiable memos ofeatisying that craving which makes' us slaves to • the weed. The chief object or the :club was not to break records in 'regardto the amount of t-obacco : consumed, but to teach its 'members the use of tobacco by organizing -competitions and offering prizes to those who. could mare a pipeful of tobacco last. the longest. On the night ' of the Camp etitiion ' membersathered. g round the tables, while the'%tobacco was taken out of a jar and each: competitor's allawanee carefully weighed 'on :a small. pair of, scales. This allowance consisted `of' exactly. forty-five grains. The pipes were then carefully filled, and at a signal, the competitors struck matches and lit their pripes. h Two Britons who Made Tereus in the North Sea.

The hydroplane has been interned. but the two men have been permitted to return. When a competitor failed to do so, this fact was announced by ringing a bell, and thus the other competi- tors were kept informed of the number of competitors still left in the contest, After the contest had beenin pro- gress for about three-quarters of an hour the critical period began, for it then required the greatest care on the- part of the competitors to keep the tiny spark of flame in the bowl of the pipe, and the judges would frequently have to call out "Smoke, Please," in order that they might'. seta that the various pipes were still' alight,. Exactly what the record tithe is it is difficult to say, but from inquiries which the writer has made, it ap- pears that• one of the best perform- ances erformances was that of a competitor of the Bruges Smoking Club, who kept his pipe alight for one hour, twenty-one minutes, thirty-three seconds.

Were for Gerivauy, But the Bully- Mg Prussians Antagonized Theta. The Scandinavians countries, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, are now strongly anti -German, al- though their Governments are en- forcing strietest neutrality, accord- ing to Edwin Bjorkman, critic and writer, resident of the United States, who Ines just returned from a five months' sojourn abroad, chief- ly in the kingdoms named. Mr.. 13jorkman is known as the -translat- or and editor in English of Ibsen, Strindberg, and Bjornsou. He had written of general :Scandinavian literature and was then preparing a "History of . Scandinavian Litera- ture of the Nineteenth Century." A native of Sweden, he was thorough- ly acquainted with the three eoun- tries. German missionary work., which began with pleas and ended with threats and certain overt acts, Mr. Bjorknian reports, transformed .a sentiment which was in the begin- ning silent, at least, into rampant. popular feeling for the allies. This, coupled with strong official action, has cut the exports from the Scandi- navians •countries into Germany down to a mere trickle of merchand- ise, Mainly Copper and Iron Ore. Finally it has driven the three countries, notwithstanding years of towns of Scotland long strings ot. , national antipathies, into a peace mourning coaches In the wake of a . coalition which will be backed by hearse.

BOOTfi. An Authoritattye Work—War On. Non - Combatants Quite Justifies►, Professor 3, H. Morgan. has. translated into the English lan- guage "The German War Book," a manual, of usages in war on land issued by the General Staff of the German army, This is the most authoritative work of its kind in Gormand; There is a reference in the introduetion to "humanitarian eonsaderations which not infre- quently degenerate into sentimen— tality and' flabby emotion. The revealing passage is the fol- lowing: "A war -conducted with. energy cannot be directed merely against the •ooiubatants gf the en emir, their State and the positions -they occupy, but it will and must in like planner seek to destroy the total intellectual and material re- sourees of the latter." Assassination and Incendiarism. The London Daily Chronicle,. which publishes a- review of Prof. Morgan's translation, says that, af- ter what heippened in Belgium, there is cruel irony in the-lireakion that churehes, schools, libraries and inuseut€ns should be spared, and that open towns ought not to be bom- barded. According to this German war book, assassination and ncen- diarism are, in given eircumstauees, justifiable, as will be seen by the following quotation -a= - "Bribery of the enemy's subjecta with the objeet of obtaining military advantage, acceptance of offers Of treachery', reception of deserters, utilization of discontented elements in the population, support of pre- - tenders and the Mike are permissi- ble; indeed, international law is in no way apposed to the exploitation of crimes of the third parties -as- sassination, incendiarism, robbery, and the like—to the prejudice of the enemy. The ugly and Inherent- ly immortal aspect of .such methods cannot affect the recognition of their lawfulness. The necessary aim of war gives the belligerent tho right and imposes upon hien accord- ing to eireurnstances the duty not to lest slip the important, it may be the decisive, advantages tb be gain-, ed by such means," TMs Is Not True. "Sweden has been buying most Heavily of wheat and coal thi's fall," he said, "because there was a great drought in the country which ruined the wheat crop and dried -tip the. water power. They have bad to buy wheat for food and coal for fuel to keep their factories going. It would be a grave crime,for any per- son to violate t1ie law against the expatriation of these articles. "It may be added that Russia's attitude in this situation went a long way toward ending the ancient fear and distrust, She likewise prohibits the exporting of food- stuffs, but when she heard- of Sweden's plight she lifted the ban for one year in favor of that coun- try. "Germany declared lumber con- traband of war, which was a severe blow to Norway and Sweden. Eng- land had declared iron ore contra- band, but had withdrawn that when. Sweden protested earlier in the war. Sweden's protest about lumb- er has not been acknowledged, so far as I •know. "It is pleasant to note that since the first meeting ' between King Haakon of Norway, Gustave of Swe- den, .and Christian of Denmark and their Ministers a further meeting has been held. Then it was agreed that the alliance shall endure after peace is,1erestared to Europe." "I found England grimly' deter- mined," •said. Mr. Bjorltmaban.

The giant Sikorsky aeroplane, a recently -invented type, is capable of carrying seventeen men, and seems likely to make a more useful fighting machine than the German gas-filled dirigibles. As to submarines, Russia is construct- ing one which will be far larger and better than any at present in exis- tence. It is 400 feet long, 34 feet beano, and 5,400 tons displacement, which means that it is eleven times the size of the next largest craft of. the kind. Its engines of 18,000 h.p. will drive it at twenty-six knots on the surface, 'land its motors, of 4,400 h.p. will give it fourteen knots sub- merged.
