What the Rabbit Cost. Australia.

The state of South Australia has,
since 1891, erected 29,148 miles Of
"vermin fences" enough to encircle
the globe and with the remnant build
double line of fence along the south
ern border Of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
S27,OOO,OOO for rabbit determination and
has within its borders $4,000 miles of
fence. One Of West Australia's fences
extends entirely across the continent.
OF late years the rabbit has been re-
paying in part for his keep-paying
board, as 1t were. He goes to swell
the total Of food exports from the
commonwealth. Along the country
roads rabbits may be seen hung on
the fences awaiting the passage of the
rabbit carts which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for
shipment as frozen meat and hides.
Practically all are exported (the Aus
tralian does not eat "vermin"), and
during 1913 frozen rabbit and hare to
the value Of l, 100000 and skins to the
value Of 100000 were sent from
commonwealth ports.

able for prison inmates. are edited and
published by the prison officials, and
are reported to enjoy great popularity

lished by the Kosuge prison, Tokyo, Is

WELSH MALE QUARTETTE

OF their exhibitions at the Methodist
church last Tuesday night. The pro.
gram consisted of classic songs, only
rendered by that rare and mellow &C.

and instrumental music. A special
feature Of the evening was the des-
crbing Of the sinking Of the steam
ship Lusitania ON the high seas, tor
pedoed by German submarine, and
upon which vessel the quartette were
travelling. The speaker related in
pathetic terms the frantic actions of
the ships many passengers, and the
struggles of the many women and
children In the icy waters for four
hours. before they sank to rise no
more.
The church was filled to overflow
ing with an attentive and interested
audience who listened to the render
ing of the several parts with mark

THE UNITED STATES ARMED
NEUTRALITY POSITIONS

This government has proclaimed to
the world, through it's Secretary of
State Lansing the following official
statement. The substance of the
memorandum is as follows:
German submarines are acting
under orders of Jan. 21, which are
absolutely illegal and therefore they
may be treated as pirates. They have
no standing before the law of ma
tons.
2-American ships which are to sail
with armament and crews are abso-
lutely within their rights from a legal
standpoint. The only law which they
need recognize is the law of cruisers,
which specifies that a belligerent
warsh must warn a peaceful mer.
chantman and visit and search the
vessel.
3-The crews whit h are to be plac-
ed aboard the ships have the same
status as armed guards. Their duty
is to project the vessels in their
legal rights. Their position is an
is placed aboard street car to pro-
tect the passengers from strike vio-
ience
Responsible to Navy Department.
4-The armed guard is responsible
to the navy department for the pro-
tection of the property intrusted to
1t just as the policeman is responsi.
BILE to the city authorities.
5-The commanders of the crew
have an absolute right to fire upon a
German submarine whenever 1t is
seen in the barred zone, providing 1t
does not make unmistal able signs of
intentions to adhere to cruiser law.
6-1he fact that Germany has pub
licly announced that submarines have
been ordered to violate this law
should be borne in mind constantly
because the submarine commanders
can not respect cruiser law without
violating the admiralty orders.
7-As the first duty of the gun
crews Is to protect the lives and
property intrusted to them 1t would
be unwise to risk disaster in ihe he
lief that cruiser law would be res
pected by submarine crews which
have been publicly ordered to tor
pedo merchantmen without warning.
