RATS MENACE LIVES OF \

From the st. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Many cases of spinal meningitis and
many cases of erysipelas nave developed
in the German trenches before Verdun,
saws the Koelnische Zeitung. and it as
cribes the unexpected phenomena to the
millions of rats that are becoming a most
serious plague, and carry disease from
trench to trench. So numerous have they
| become and so daring that they even dis
pute the food that the men are taking;
and where a soldier allows a morsel to
remain on his lap uneaten at once upon
receiving it, rats will take it away from
him in the twinkling of the eye. Says

sleep, not only from the noise the Nermin
selves for bits of food, but from the care
lessness with which they run over the
faces of PROSTATE soldiers. Some of the
officers nave helped themselves by procur-
ing face wire nets, but these are so exc
pensive that the rank and file must fore
go them. They even gnaw and eat the
soldiers leather belts, leather helmets,
leather number badges and shoes. A food
spot on clothes means destruction OF that
piece of apparel.
"And the plague Is growing worse daily,
In spite OF all the means in the power OF
the officers and men combined to abate
the evil. Regular crusades are in order
almost daily, the soldiers, clubbing, stab
bling, kicking and even shooting them by
the hundreds. But what are hundfedS n

"At times the men ever leave their posi-

trenches, with the result that thousands
of the vermin are killed. But the trench

to make the remedy satisfactory: and
when the soldiers return they are sickened
by the remaining fumes"
In the French trenches, says the writer.
the pest is just as bad; but the Pasteur
Institute of Paris has devised a serum
that produces an epidemic among the YER
min and is innocuous to the men and even
the dogs. A few rats are caught, then
inoculated and let loose among the others.
Thousands of rats have thus been exter-

evor, is said to be nearly as disagreeable

Latterly every French regiment has

"DiCkIE" DAVIS CLASSIC
PICTURE OF GERMAN ARMY

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.

From the st. Paul Pioneer Press.
Richard Harding Davis. who died last
week, was among the first correspondents
to go to Europe at the outbreak Of the
great war. and his description of the gray
wave of the German army as it passed
through Brussels, has become a classic.
The article was printed in the Pioneer
Press Of August "a. 1914. A part of it fol-
lows:
"The entrance Of the German army into
Brussels has lost the human quality. 1t
was lost as soon as three soldiers, who led
the army, bicycled into the Boulevard du
Regent and asked the way to the Care du
Nord. When they passed the human note
and which "a hours later is still coming is
not men marching, but a force of nature
like a tidal wave, avalanche, or river
flooding Its banks.
"At this minute 1t is rolling through
Brussels as the swollen waters of the
Conemaugh valley swept through Johns
town. At the sight of the first few regi-
ments of the enemy we were thrilled with
interest. After for three hours they had
passed in one unbroken steel gray column
we were bored. But when hour after hour
passed ana three was no halt, no breath
ing time, no pen spaces in the ranks, the

1t held the mystery and menace Of a fog
rolling towards you across a sea. The
gray Of the uniforms worn by both officers
and men helped this air of mystery. Only
the sharpest eye could detect among the
thousands that passed the slightest diff
ference. All moved under a cloak of in
visibility.
