ANOTHER RECORD SMASHED.
Reading edition
The London Standard's Berlin correspondent says the Berlin Tageblatt relates that in the Belgian village of Beveren 150 Bavarian soldiers who had taken part in the siege of Antwerp drank 1,485 liters of beer within two hours.
Each Bavarian soldier thus drank in round figures nearly twenty pints within two hours.
The Tageblatt has no other comment than that it was satisfactory to find that Belgian beer was fit for Bavarian consumption.
