as it was impossible to preserve them from the rats, and in no case had he any more than a single lunch out of all the eatables sent to him. Some surprise has been expressed that several hundred thousand men, turned rat hunters, have been unable to eXterminate them. A mathemati- clan has taken the trouble to calcu- late that a years progeny of a single pair of rats may easily amount to more than one hundred and twenty two millions, which he holds is proof that only wholesale poisoning or suffocatiOn can cope with the pest. Tn fact, of all the different measures adopted against them, none have produced the results obtained by the suffocating gas that the Germans oc- casionally send towards the French trenches. Thousands of them were picked up dead in the first line of the trenches after one of these gas at tacks.
 Another statistician has figured out that it costs a centime and half a day to nourish a rat, and consequent ly figures their depreciation on that basis to amount to forty-four million dollars a year in France alone.

BOUNTY ON RATS IS
 PAID TO SOLDIERS
Rodents Blamed for Destroying
 Provisions for the Army

Cor espondence of The Associated t'ressl
 Paris, March 3O-Rat tails are now worth a cent each on one part of the French battle front. The general commanding in that section has issued the following order of the day: With the object of interesting the men in the destruction of rodents a premium of five centimcs shall be luid for each rat destroyed. The premium shall be paid every ten days, on presentation of the tails of the destroyed animals, The rats, bearing vermin susceptible of spreading disease must not be handled, but im- mediately buried, and the tails done up in a paper impregnated with tar or petroleum The order resulted in a tremendous slaughter of rats, but was not obeyed in all it's details. It appears that the new fashion of trimming Women's garments with fur has created an outleet for rats fur, and the rat hunting soldiers skin their victims before burying them djsinfect and stcrilize the hides and sell them to the suffers behind the front.
 It is estimated that the rats have destroyed millions of francs worth of provisions sent to the soldiers by their friends and relatives at home. An officer at the front recently wrote his wife that it would be useless for

Prominent Citizen in Critical Con-
 ditiOn at His Home
ARTERY IN LEG RUPTURED
Surgeons Consider Amputating Limb As Final Effort to Save Life-For- cstcrs to Initiate Class of Twenty lye-CartCr Still Chairman

Edward A. Freeman, one of the towns most prominent citizens, is dangerously i'll at his home on Wash ington street and his relatives and many friends are apprehensive over his condition. MT. Freeman is suffer- ing from the effects of a ruptured blood vessel and it was reported this morning that the attending physicians contemplate amputating his leg in the hope of saving his life.
 The rupture was caused Sunday night when sMr Freeman attempted to stand after sitting in a chair for some time, an artery in his leg hav- ing been affeced. pr. J. N. Bull the family physician, was sent for and after spending several hours with him, he called in Dr. Knight of Hartford for a consultation. The doctors seem to have little hope of saving his life and they believe 1t may be necessary to cut off the limb. At his home this morning it was reported that he had spent fairly comfortable night but that his con- dition was not improved. No decision regarding the proposed operation for
  noon, the doctors having agreed to await further developments before resorting to surgery.
 MT. Freeman is one of Plainvi1lc's foremost citizens. He has lived here for many years and is highly esteem ed. He is nearly seventyfive years of age. He has been many times hon. ored by election to public office, has served the town as representative in the general assembly, assessor and school committeeman. He has held other offices of trust and has always worked faithfully in the towns inter- est. He has been prominent for years in the affairs of the Congregational church and is one of it's oldest dea- cons.
 Many inquiries about his condi- ton were made during the day and the unfavorable reports from his bed side caused the townspeople much concern.
 To Initiate Twenty five.
 Court General Lawton, F. of A., Is making arrangements for a big meet ing on May End when the famous de- gree team of Cout Schiller of Mer- iden will come here to confer the initiatory degree on class of tWen- ty-fve candidates. At a meeting of the court held last evening in Grange hall the plans were discussed and re- ports of the success of Chief Ranger John Murphy and the officers aSSo- ciated with him in getting the Meri- den team to agree to eXemplify the degree caused considerable enthus" iasm among the members.
 The team won first prize at the national convention in San Francisco for degree work and drills, and since it's return has been in great demand in all parts of New England.
 Three applications for membership were received last night.
 The court also appointed a com- mittee to organize baseball team to represent the Plainville Foresters dur ing the summer. The following mem- bers will serve: Judd WadsWorth, M Lee Prior, Francis Cunningham, Edward Conlin and Samuel Gloriant. Candidates will be called out for practice in a few days. The court has considerable baseball material

Berlin News STREET LIGHTING
 PROBLEM WORRIES To Petition for Special Town

THREE DISTRICTS FAVORED
A. K. Vets Enjoy Oyster Supper.

The street lighting question is per picking many citizens and 1t is said a special town meeting will be peu- toned for to consider the question in the near future. The Stygian dark mess, prevalent in many parts of the town, is looked upon with dlspleasure by many and it is felt there should be more light in the night time. One toWnsman, who has been in the bonds of Wedlock for several years, in speaking on the subject this morning said: These dark streets are all right for billing and cOoing couples, but for us fellows who have passed the spring Of life, it is certainly uncomfortable to be walking along and receive an impromptu bath of muddy water caused by stepping into some unsus- pected mudhOle.'
 Those in favor of the street light ing suggest that each village, Berlin, East Berlin and kenSingtOn, set apart a lighting district and the residents J,f these districts be taxed for the cost. It is planned to hold special town meeting at which ways and means for paying the light bills will be discussed. The method now in vogue, that of collecting the required sum by subscription, is very unpopu- lar and the agitators of the district nlau feel certain it will meet with public approval. It is thought the meeting will be called apout May l.
 Amateur SIcuths.
 Two well known local young men da hoir off n ranks of Sherlock Holmes and Pink erton last night, but their efforts proved Of no avail The men were walking toward kensington on the Bennington road, when they saw tnan acting suspiciously near Mur- ray's claypits. He would walk a few steps, look around him and then walk urther on. Finally he retreated his steps and soon they heard the chatter of horses hoofs and the crunching of wheels on the road going toward kensington. Immediately thoughts of fame and glory came to them. Sfealthily creeping along to the place where the wagon stood, thcy made an investigation. Near the fence they found q huge paper bundle weighing about fifty pounds. A little ways fur ther on a similar bundle fWas found Both bundles were examined and the contents proved nothing put waste paper. Thus faded the thoughts of glory in the paths of detectivedom.

TO SEIZE FIGHT FILMS.
Customs Officials Say Intent of Law
 Can't be Evadcd.

Washington, April 11.-Customs of- ficials practically have reached a deci- sion to seize the Johnson Willard fight pictures which were made by a photographic process at a point on the border between the United States and Canada. A new law sustained by the sureme court, forbade bringing the original films into the country, so the prom brought the films to the border on the Canadian side and made pictures of them with cameras on the American side.
 Customs officials hold that the in tent of the law cannot be defeated by such a process.
