Stampede of Rats
 Stirs Petrograd

Petrograd. Jan. 25.-A migration of rats. estimated at 5O,ooo, surprised the residents of the city a few days ago. The custom house district and the grain markets of Petrograd are tnfest- ed with innumerable rats, often of large size and great boldness They go to water usually in the stillest hours of the night in serried ranks Watchmen who see them in motion take pains to get out of their way as they attack isolated men when in numbers. There are traditions that persons who have tried to interfere with these armies of rats have been overcome and killed and eaten. The last migration was by day and the route led across the Nevsky Prospect. Thousands were cut to pieces by the electric street cars and bands Of boys and men killed many others. The daylight migration was no doubt caus- ed by the emptying of the grain bins at the grain market. Supplies have been distributed recently directly from the railway cars to the dealers and larger bakers.

Navigation Laws Of Many Countries
 Will Be Compared

January. 25.-The navigation laws of the United States have been a subject of spirited controversy of late It has been stated that the navigation laws of the United States are made Quate and that they impose undue hardships on our merchant marine. On account of the lack of published information on the subject there has been no direct means of determining whether or not these statements are correct. In order to set forth clearly and concise1y the exact facts in ref erence to the navigation laws of the principal maritime countries of the world, the Bureau of Foreign and >Do- nrestic Commerce, Department Of Commerce, will issue, within the next two or three weeks, an exhaustive re- port on the principal features Of the navigation Jaws of Great Britain, Ger many, Norway, France, Japan and the United States. No such work has ever before been attempted in the United States, and it will be invaluable to those who are studying the problem of our shipping and merchant marine.
 This publication will present the principal features of the navigation laws of the different countries in such way to show just how our laws diff fer from those of other countries. The abstracts of the laws were obtained direct from the foreign maritime laws

pire demands the politicians pay more attention to the war than to their mean and exaggerated grievances"
 The increased menace to shipping in the Mediterranean which may force the numerous Japanese steamers to sail around the Cape of Good Hope and vastly increase the expense of navigation is made the theme of an article in the conservatively inclined Kokumin which incidentally express es its regret to see the allies always standing on the defensive in various theatres of war. Now that the aI- lies have given up the attack on the Dardane1les,' the newspaper says, the enemy will doubtless gradually make his way toward Egypt and this means a gradual increase of danger to navi- gation through the Suez Canal. Things have come to the pass when it is ab solutely necessary for us to change our shipping route. It is the height of absurdity to rely upon Great Britain's command of the sea-"

|MIKADO'S EMPIRE TAKES CALMLY LOSS
 OF i'YASAKA MARU"
Disaster is Warning To .' Country to Forget Petty Politics and Take Broader Views is Verdict When Sub Sinks Liner.

Tokio, Jan. 25.-So far as can be learned, the sinking of the Japanese steamer Yasaka Maru by subma- rine in the Mediterranean Sea on De- cember 21 is not influencing Japan to make a more aggressive part in the war, as has been thought In some foreign countries. As a matter of fs ct the incident has been received iE Japan very calmly and so far as the newspapers are concerned there has been practically no expression of opinion.
 Such sentiment as has been public ly voiced is confirmed 10 two points, first, the futility of wasting time on unimportant internal political quar- rels in the present worlds crisis, and second, the necessity on the part of Japan's allies to obtain a stronger command of the seas.
 ''The sinking of the Yasaka, Maru,' 9 he wrote the editor of the Japan Times, ttis a timely reminder to this country, which has almost become ob- livious of the war, being engrossed in political disputes which are of small national concern except for par ty purp OSeS. The writer pointed out that if agitation occurs in the coun- tries of the allies it is always in con nection with the war whereas in Japan the questions between the govern ment and the opposition are such as could be very easily settled eff only the parties would subordinate their narrow and selfish contentious to the larger problems of the Empires needs that are growing more and more com plicated the great war extends it's sphere of operation"
 we say the Yasaka disaster is a, warning to the country, lest it find it. self confronted by greater surprises nearer home by the conscience1ess and vindicative enemy The Elm

SANITATION IN
 COUNTRY HOMES

Country life, to city people. ia idy1Iic for health. with water, air. and food as pure as the open skies over head. A different picture of country life appears in the annual report inst given out at Washington of Surgeon General Blue. A typical statement from this IT report, is that 50 per cent. Of the rural homes are drinking water from polluted sources.
 Country people are ordinarily, very complacent about their water suppIies If the water tastes good, it is gener- ally felt that it is good. If the fam fly have had good health for a period of years, the matter of proximity to stables or closets is not considered much.
 Rural boards of health, where such exist, are apt not to take their duties seriously. Many of them would feel that they were appointed merely to take necessary action in case some serious epidemic should break out They would not feel, it was in their province to take steps in advance to remove possible chances of pollution.
 Country people are jealous about tHeir own prerogatives. A doctor or board of health man who came smell ing about their premises would be likely to be considered ofdcious and meddlesome. Provision men would not be likely to take kindly to rigid inspection of their supplies
 The old timers of country life were very sturdy old folks, who worried not about germs or infections. Probably they lived longer than the modern generation that, has become so fussy about health and sanitation At the same time people who have ever lived in the country must be impressed with the idea that doctors are usually busy. Gases of sickness are quite common and are a favorite subject of conver- sation when other interests lag. Per- haps if country people paid a little more attention to modern science there would not be so many people i'll. A good home water supply is not costly in most places where it is not

 Robert Colgate Wood. who resigned as member ~of the Public Service Commission just before charges aI1eg- ing corruption fin office were made against him by the Thompson 1egisla- tive investigatingg committee, was in dicted yesterday by the grand jury on a charge of soliciting 8 bribe from the Union Switch & Signal Go.

Wood refused to make any statement after he learned of his indictment, and when approached by reporters. said. NO, empT1aficaJIv fo all questions. His counsel said:

 Assistant District Attorney O'MaIIey asked that bail be fixed at $5,OO0, and arrangements were made to have the money put up by a surety company. Mir. Wood left the criminal court building soon afterward Asked when his trial would be called, District At torney Swann said:
 Wood should be brought to- trial next month. We will be ready in Feb ruary, and if there is any delay it will be through the action of the de- fendant's lawyers"
 When Senator Thompson, chairman of the legislative committee which filed charges against Wood, was in formed in Albany of the action of the grand jury, he said:
