Marysvale, Dec. 30.-As a result
of the alarming increase in the rab
bits that are harvesting crops for
the farmers of this neighborhood a
general campaign has been carried on
against them for the last week. An
alarming amount Of grain and alta ia

ton to the damage done in the early
spring to the young grain.
Last Saturday and again Monday
men, women and children turned out

them and killing with clubs those
that tried to escape. In the two days
more than 700 were corrallel and
slaughtered. Monday night the citi
zens held a dance of triumph and
with big supper the whole neighbor
hood celebrated the death of the rab
bits with hilarity that would have
made Nero envious.

FRENCH RECITAL OF
PRINCIPAL WAR EVENTS
BETWEEN DEC. is AND "a

Paris, Dec. 30-Their has been Civ
en- out in Paris the following recital
Of the principal events of the war be-
tween Dec 16 and Dec. "a.
This period OF nine days resulted
in consolidating the successes won Ly
us during the ten days preceding. Our
aggressive attitude has been continu-
ed with ever increased energy; every
where the enemy has been reduced to
a defensive attitude. The checking
OF every movement made by him in
his endeavor to recapture ground lost
to us made our advantage the greater.
1T is proper to say that at various
points along the front particularly
near Arras on the western boundary
Of the Argonne district and near Yer
dun, We have made ourselves the
masters Of important points of sup
port.
THE operations to the north of the
Lys have been attended by great hard
ships because Of the bad weather.The
cold liquid mud in which the men
have had to move has gotten into the
breaches Of their rifles. This made 1t
impossible to shoot. The fighting con,
seQuently has been with the butt end
Of muskets and even with fists.
According to An expression used
BY one Of their leaders. our soldiers
are literally blots Of mud. There has
been organized for them 4 system by
which they now can battle and change
clothes upon leaving the trenches.
