Unremitting warfare against rats is
advocated by Sir James Crichton
Browne, who says that people now
adays are living under sanitary condi-
tons which will seem as shocking and
wrong to their descendants 200 years
hence as conditions that obtained two
centuries ago appear now. In advo-
eating a crusade against rats, as the
great carriers Of disease, Sir James
suggests a new form Of relaxation,
I'VE have with us" he says, lots Of
gllded youths whose time hangs heavy
on their hands, and who might vary
their amusements by rat.catching,
which must be quite as exciting and
elevating as pigeon shooting. If the
sporting papers would give a descrip-
ton Of the battues and reports Of the
bags, with odds on the favorite rat.

breakers, those pernicious little 70.
dents would soon become scarce-uh.
less, indeed, enthusiasts should take
to breeding and laying them down as
we do pheasants. Great things may
be expected when sport, fashion and
sanitation join hands in rat.catching."

war. F9
ALREADY japan has made known
the conditions on which she is ready

eminent. Therefore IL was believed
to reflect Japan's official wishes.

Counsel for Senator Burton contend
that the judgment Of the court below

ed a motion in arrest of Judgment or
directed verdict for the defendant.
Counsel held there was no evidence to
establish the guilt of the defendant
and that the court erred IN refusing

ing the time Of bis employment by
the Rialto company did not even know

IN STATE OF ANARCHY.
u Has Become Epidemic Throughout
Manchurla. Z

Washington, Nov. ga report re.
ceived in Washington through official
sources says that state of anarchy
has become epidemic throughout Mace.
donna, that public security has by no
means been restored, and that assassi.
nations Of christians not in sympathy
with the Bulgarian revolutionary
movement are of daily occurrence.
1t says that Greeks as a rule are the
victims, and large numbers of them
have been tortured, with the result
that the Greeks have started back
across the frontier of Greece with re-
taliation as their purpose.
An extract from the report reads:
Public security Is by no means re.
stored in Macedonia, So-called pollti.
cal murders-that Is, the assassination
of Christians not in sympathy with the
Bulgarian revolutionary movement,
are of daily occurrence. Refusal to pay
blackmail or the indication Of tho
whereabouts Of bands are reasons for
these murders, of which Greeks as a
rule are victims, Since the introduc-
ton of reforms hundreds of Greeks
of the better class have been tortured
to death or burned alive by Bulgarian
bands"
1t Is also stated that these would
be liberators Of the country take good
care not to modest Turks, and the
perpetrators of the crimes are hardly
ever brought to justice Or seriously
pursued.
Another extract from the report
reads:
In response the Greeks have now
started bands and have taken the law
into their own hands. Over 1000 men
in the last month have crossed Greek
frontiers with the object of retaliating
and protecting their own countrymen.
The result is that a state Of anarchy
has become epidemic throughout
