formation, fourteen hundred
Yaquis, including their families
in the vicinity of iHermosillo
have already been concentrated
there, and yesterday they were
embarked on transports at
Guaymas for transportation to
Manzanillo, whence they will be
sent to Mexico City for such
disposition as the Mexican
government may deem wise.
The plan is to place the Indians
on lands in the interior of
Cexico.
The Yaquis in the Ures and
Guaymas districts will be con-
centrated in the same way for
shipment to Mexico City. All
Yaqui orphans will be placed in
the industrial training school
at Hermosillo. The Yaqui troops
in Sonora loyal to the govern
ment will be sent to the state
Iof Jalisco, several hundred
miles farther ydown the coast.
They number one thousand.
There will remain in the
mountains about thirty-five
hundred Indian, including their
families. These will be pur-
sued by the troops. Those cap
tured will be ,sent to Mexico
City. The children will be
placed in school. Those Indians
who insist on fighting will be
exterminated.
General Gales has decided
that the only solution of the
Yaqui trouble is to deport all
the Indians, peaceful as well as
warlike. A census recently
taken by him convinced him he
could not segregate the good
Indians from the bad. The
ood Indians were often spies
for the bad Indians and good
Yaquis sometimes changed into
bad ones over night. If he sue
ceeds in his deportation scheme
General Gales will accomplish
something the. Diaz govern
ment failed to do in fifty years
of fighting at cost of many
millions. /

War.Savings Certificate
Offer New Chance
for Small investor

The man with limited means
even the school boy or girl
with a few pennies to spare
now and then-who wants a
safe and profitable investment
which at the same time will
help the country, finds his op-
portunity in the new war saw
ings certificate plan.
During December, 1917, and
January, 1918, war saving
stamps will be sold at SALE
each, at post offices, banks,
trust companies, and many
business houses and factories
throughout the country. At
the beginning of each succeed
ing month the cost of a stamp
will increase 1 cent. All war
saving stamps issued during
1918 will mature January l.,
1928, when they will be redeem
ed at SIS each. The difference
between purchase price and the
price at maturity represents
the interest the Government
will pay the holder, 4 per cent
compounded quarterly.
The entire wealth and Sc
curity of the United States is
behind the war-savings certi-
ficates. No person may pur-
chase lat one time more than
$100 worth, or hold at one time
more than $1,000 worth of these
securities.
Thrift stamps costing 25
cents each may be purchased
from time to time and affixed
to a thrift card, which is sup
piled without cost. These
stamps will not bear interest,
but a thrift card when filled at
cost of 81 may be exchanged
for an interest-bearing war
savings stamp by turning the
card in and paying the differ
ence between $4 and the cur
rent price of a war-savings
stamp. With the first warsaw
ings stamp bought the pur-
chaser will obtain without
charga war-savings certificate
containg, space for 20 of these
stamps.

in Seattle an overwrough
mob, at the time of the as
sasination Of President Lin
coin, destroyed the office o1
Beriah Browns copperheaC
newspaper, throwing his
press and type into the wa.
ters of Puget Sound. They
have forgotten a thousand
such incidents with which
the history of that time was
pointed.
The fact is that when
men and women are called
to send into the nav of
frightful war their best be-
loved, and have their lives
diverted from their prep
aration and training to
be destroyed to prevent ma
tional dishonor and hu-
initiation they have little
patience with these su-
perior beings who can sub
NIT uncomplainingly to the
outrages Of militaristic jun
kerism, and they become al
most as vicious as the junk
ers themselves. To the ia
ther who has sacrificed an
idolized son, in the first
flush of early manhood, to
the mother who has wept at
the loss Of those she sucked
in their infancy, there is
something malignant par
ticularly in that spirit or
lack of spirit which prates
about national ideals and
aims.
Not only is there in the
hearts of the American peo-
pie a bitter hatred to all
such; but as time passes and
the dread fortunes of war
take more and more of
their bloody toll of youth
and manly vigor of our ma
tion, more dangerous will
be the situation of the Bige-
lows, the LaFollettes, the
Vardamans, and all of that
ilk who in times like these
"cry peace, peace, when
there is no peace. Against
such a righteous indigna-
tion and hatred arising from
every desolated home in
the land will rise in wrath
and invoke the dread 'Flex
talionis."

prior to January 1, 1918, the
cost to the purchaser will have
been $.12 for each stamp, or
$S2.40 for the filled certificate,
and on January 1, 1928, the
Government will redeem it at
$100, giving the holder a net
profit Of $17.60 for the use of
his money.
Money derived from warsaw
ings investments will be used
to meet the expenses Of the war.
The greater part Of these funds
will be expended within the
United States.

TAX UPON
PARCELS
Becomes Effective
December | S t.
Important De- :
tails to be Observ-
ed.

Upon every parcel or package
by parcel post on which the uost
age amounts to 25 cents or more,
transferred from one point OF
the United States to another,
there shall be paid a war tax
of one cent for each 25 cents OF
fractional part thereof charged
for such transportation, to be
paid by the consignor. No such
parcel will be transported until
stamps representing the amount
due shall have been affixed.
The tax on fourth class matter
referred to is not applicable to
parcels on which the postage
amounts to less than 25 cents.
On a parcel subject to 25 cents
postage the tax is one cent and
where postage is from 26 cents
to fifty cents the tax is two
cents, and so on. Special in
ternal revenue stamps must be
used to pay the tax; postage
stamps are not valid for the
purpose.
The internal revenue stamp
affixed to parcels must be can
celled by the sender, placing or
causing to be placed, his initials
over the face of the stamp, to-
gether with the date upon
which the stamps are attached
or used. In no case should the
sender cancel postage stamps
which are affixed to parcels.
Such stamps must be cancelled
by post office employees.
Care should be used to see
that the full amount of postage
at the fourth class rate is pre-
paid by postage stamps and
that the tax is in all cases pre-
paid by internal revenue stamps.
In computing the amount OF
postage on the parcel postmas-
tiers will disregard the amount
of postage stamps affixed in
payment for insurance or c. o.
D. privileges. These fees do
not constitute postage on such
parcels.
These regulations are effec-
tive December 1. Substations
will be supplied with internal
revenue stamps.

RAT FIGHTERS
British Battalion Gets
a Record Killing
Rodents

Rodents
France Dec. There is {
certain brave battalion in the
British army which is known
throughout the length anc
breadth Of the line as "The
Ferrets." The nickname was
given them first of all because
of their success in dealing with
the rat nuisance in their Sec
tion Of the line, and the sOldie.
who had most to do with COM
batting the rats is known from
IDunkirk to ST. Quentin as 20.
C. Rats" the initials being the
regular British army abbreva-
ton for "officer commanding.
The rats were probably worse
in this battalion's section of the
line last winter than anywhere
else in Flanders, and many were
the devices tried against the
little enemy. Traps of all kinds
were tried. Rat devouring dogs
were brought up, but in vain.
A cat with a tremendous re-
putation in the French villages
was purchased and did we'll at
first, killing four rats in twenty
four hours and intimidating
others. Thereupon the battalion
made much of the victoriouSi
animal, to it's undoing, for it
adapted itself as if by instinct
to the life of a regimental pet,
that is, it ate as much as it
could of the mems rations,
took the warmest corner avail
able, and quit work.
Finally the battalion staff
held a war council, and dis
patched one of it's number to
London to bring back three Oh
four good ferrets.
In the trenches, the ferrets
were an object of great inter-
est. Private Thomas Merry
field emerged from obscurity
and was assigned to take charge
of the newcomers. From that
day forward he was known to
the army as O. C. Rats. He
took his duties seriously, and
Immediately went into action
against the little enemy that had
been stealing food of the tables,
running over officers faces at
night, chewing even the laces
from mems boots.
The ferrets and their 20. c."
put up some great hunts.
There were moments of great
excitement when the rats bolt
ed wholesale before the new at
tack and were dubbed to death
in the trench by the enthu-
siastic men. There were also
moments of breathless anxiety,
when one of the precious fer
rets emerged from a bolt hole
somewhere below the barbed
wire and was reported steering
for the German trenches. One
day Merryfield won the CEN
sure of the authorities and the
enthusiastic approval and
praise of his comrades by re-
trieving a lost ferret from No
Mans land in daylight and
under fire.
Little by little the art of rat
hunting was learned by the
whole battalion. Men became
wise in ferret lore, cunning in
interpreting the noises of an
underground struggle between
the antagonists. The rats have
ever since given that section of
the battle zone a wide berth.
and the fame of the winters
successful anti-rat offensive is
known to all the army.
