London. Sept "a, 10 p. m.-:As a
measure of elementary prudence
Greece has ordered the mobilization
Of her naval and military forces.
Thus the action of Bulgaria in max
ing military preparations has brought
the last remaining Balkan state under
arms, for Rumania, while not fully
mobilized, for some time has had her
troops read for an emergency.
What plans Bulgaria really has in
mind and what Greece and Rumania
will do when these plans mature are
still matters of speculation. One
thing seems clear, however. Bull
garia and Turkey. for so many years
sworn enemies, have composed theif
differences.

general Ivanhoff has been having in
Galicia and Volyhnia, it is considered

Rats as Plague Transmitters.

In view of the admitted importance of the rat in the transmission of plague, the study of this disease among rodents has often as necessary from the point of view of preventive hygiene as is the management of the human cases when they arise. In a report to the local government board of England on rat plague in East Ang- lia during the period from July to October, 1911, the magnitude of a sin gle campaign is shown. During four months 15,332 rats were examined for plague infection. Thirty-five of the rats were found to be plague infected Twenty-seven premises were found to harbor plague-infected rats The places were all within an area previ- ously pronounced to be infected The rat destruction, which had been main tained by local enterprise for some what more than year. had in many localities appreciably diminished the rat population.

Recently officials of the railroad informed the commission that if the claimants would accept com promise of $2.000 to be pro rated among the claimants, it would with draw the suit.
 The commission dismissed a peti- tion for better train service on the road, continued from the hearing held in Little Rock. The petition was dis missed after a hearing attended by the petitioners and officials of the road.
