Mother Coon had taken her eight

school they were taught % catch a

They soon became such skillful
fishermen that they could lie on a
rock OF log, in the brook. and brush

little whiskers, until a trout thought
It was q ny or skater!
And tho trout would jump out of
the little Coon would get his paw

Mr.. Trout for his supper.
It was q wonderful night-school;
and Mother Coon taught every
branch of Coon education.
The little Coons were taught how
to hide in a burrow, or q deserted
hole Of q muskrat In the bank. in
case they were surprised by an
enemy. )
They were also taught how to
climb q tree, as quick. az lightning;
and how to pick out hollow trees
for hiding places. 1t. was wonder
full to watch the little Coons follow
their mothef. and do everything just
as she did. .
they minded their mother instant

 According to dispatch to the Times from Odessa, liquor footing orgies, similar to those in Petrograd, occurred there.
 A Reuter- dispatch from Petrograd reports that notwithstanding the state or siege, sacking of wine stores con- tInues in the capital. Many shops and dwellings have been pillaged as well as the Danish Red Cross. Mobs have been attacked with machine guns, and at one time there was d regular en- gagement in the streets.
 The Moscow soviet has decided to establish martial law.
 Trouble is recurring in Finland and serious rioting has again broken out at Apo.
 The long strained relations between the railway union and the commis- sarles have been broken and the rail- way men have moved their headuuar- ters to Moscow, where they threaten to call a general railway strike.
 The Bolsheviki military revolution ary committee in Petrograd has ceased to exist. Explanations for it's aboli- ton vary. One is that it was because or failure to maintain order in Petro- grad, and another that its action wa voluntary for the purpose of placing greater power in the hands of a com. mlttee of eight.

British Statement

LONDON, Dec. 23.-The British of ficial communication issued this even- ing says:
 Early this morning the enemy raided a British post east of Epehy. A few men are missing.
 Our fire drove off another enemy attempt to raid our positions in the neighborhood of the Menin Road
 There was considerable artillery ac- tivity on both sides this morning, north of Poelcapelle."
 Under cover of a heavy artillery barrage," says today's report from Field Marshal Haig's headquarters, the enemy yesterday afternoon made a local attack against our positions in the neighborhood of the Ypres- -Stad- en railway and succeeded in driving in | our advanced posts for a short dis tance on front of TOO yards. During the night the hostile artil- lery was greatly active in the neigh borhood of Gheluvelt and Poelcapelle."
 An official statement has been is- sued in Berlin, according to a Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam, regarding references by Premier Lloyd George on December 20 to the submarine warfare. It says his assertion that British mer- cantile tonnage losses have declined undoubtedly is correct but that it is due to the extraordinary decrease in | world shipping in consequence of the barred zone warfare and 'particularlv of cargo space available for British traffic as a result of which sinkines by our U-boats must necessarily grad ually decline"
 1 The German air raid on the English coast towns last night resulted in no casualties or damage, according to the offlclal announcement today. One air plane was brought to earth. q
