London, Oct 26.-While the dele
gates at The Hague were passing res
olutions in favor of universal peace,
a society in Copenhagen, aided and
abetted by the Danish government
and legislature, was perfecting the
machinery for war which will ulti-
mately embroil the whole civilized
world. 1t will end only with the ut
ter exterpination of The enemy. 1t
will be fought with all the aids that
the ingenuity of man can supply; the
enemy will be shot, trapped, poison
ed, and a price will be set on his
head.
That, at any rate, is the avowed OBJ
ject of thl society engineering .his
war. Its title is "L'Association In

only been in existence a few years,
it has already exercised great influ-

The memory OF the gubernatonal

figures.

not mince words in expressing his
conviction that Mr.. Smith should re-

he has accomplished some of the re-

turn for his election and which
have not yet materialized. Whether

best known family names.
This impetuous man could not con-
tent himself with stopping railroad
rate discrimination, dissolving nu-
merous trusts, reclaiming millions of
acres from land grabbers, recovering
vast tracts from timber thieves, pro-
tecting our grazing ranges from de-
vastation by outlaws, cementing Eu-
ropean friendships, opening new ave.
nues for our commerce in South and
Central America and Asia, and safe
guarding the peace cf the world at
Portsmouth and The Hague.
With all these occupations provid-
ed, he has refused to be content. He
has persisted in going up and down
the land preaching and teaching a
nerve-racking, tering
doctrine, new to most men now living.
Unmindful Of the feelings of thuse
who have amassed great fortunes by
the most approved rules Of latter-day
finance, he has aroused the masses
and arrayed them against the system
which has made those men rich.
His attacks hav efallen with crush
ing force upon Wall street, which,
by common consent, has been the de-
pository of the cOuntry's ready cash.
The consequent collapse of quotations
has amounted to butchery of bruk-
ers to make a Roosevelt holiday.
There seem to have been no bounds
to the President s infammatory end
revolutionary declarations. Here are
some of them and their sad sequels:
Roosevelt said: "Honesty is the
best policy"
A panic in Wall street precipitatss
financial stringency so far-reaching
that distress is still felt in the New
port Casino and the restaurants OF
upper Broadway.
Roosevelt said: "No innocent cor
poration need fear the law. But tie
guilty, rich or poor, shall be prose-
cut ed.
Thousands of shares held by the
strongest banking houses and insur-
ance companies are thrown upon the
market, and quotations are marked
down $5O,OOO,OOO in i single day.
Roosevelt said: "Railroads are
public highways, and all shippers
should have equal rights"
John D. Rockefeller Immediately
gives out an interview predicting ca
lamity and financial chaos. This is
a signal for Standard Oil banks to
throw overheard large blocks of high
class securities, creating another PAN
ic. The stock market statisticlans
show the losses to be 5000. 0.OOO. 900.
Roosevelt said: "All men in this
country shall have the same right be-
fore the law"

Importance Of which has not been
hitherto realized in Great Britain.
The Man Who Started the War.
1t is not so very long ago that even
In Copenhagen the seriousness of the
problem was far from being under
stood by the man in the street. But
one man did understand the rat and
all its evil ways, and worked the bet
ter part of lifetime to make them
understood by others. He was a civil
engineer, called Zuschlag, whose hob
by was the study of economic xool-
ogy, in particular the life history of
man s enemies in the animal world.
He noted that, while other pests
specialized, as it were, conining
thelf unsolicited attention to certain
circumscrlbed spheres, the rat was
ubiquitous. Agriculture and ship
ping, industries and trades, country
mansions and farm cottages, palaces
and slums-all suffered from the
depredations Of the rat. He began to
gather statistics, and found that the
rat appeared to be everywhere, to
eat everything, to destroy everything,
excepting alone stone and iron. His
information told of whole acres of
corn lald low, of raids upon poultry
farms, OF nightly devastations in gro
GERS bakers, and butchers shops;
OF waterpipes gnawed through ami
places, in consequence, flooded, caus-
ing hundreds of pounds of damage.
He was enabled to state that the rats
cost his country every year at least
100000 pounds in preventable dam
age.
But there was another side to the
rat problem" of far greater inn
portance than the economic. Trich-
inosls, while matter of small! con-
cern in this country. is a very real
danger in Denmark and on the couti-
nent generally, where much raw or
partly smoked pork is eaten. Having
consulted all the authorities on the
subject, Zuschlag came to the con-
clusion that the rat-Mus decumanus,
thai is, the brown rats the main
cause of this disease being still RAM
pant, in spite Of the most elaborate
precautions exercised to prevent the
sale of trichinous pork.
"The authorities" he said, "com-
mence their preventive measures too
late. Instead of preventing the sale
of trichinosed pork protect the pig
against becoming trichinosed! Kill
off the rats! The rat is undoubtedly
the primary host of trichina spiralis,
the parasite which causes trichinosis.
Pigs are contaminated by eating
trichina-harboring rats, and man con-
tracts the disease by eating trichi-
nOsed pork. Eggo: kill off the rats 81"
This view was recently accepted by
the German government, for in a
rescript by the imperial chancellor
to the various allied states it is re-
quested that in future the rats arc
to be exterminated in any district
