SWAT THE RAT, NEW SLOGAN
Rodents, Besides Spreading Disease,
Destroy Vast Amount Of Property
Yearly, II Is Claimed.

G. o. Frisbie, president of the Amer
can Agricultural Cadets, has figured
1t out that every year the rats and
their kin cost the people of the United
States at least $25,OO0,OOO.
Besides spreading disease and filth,
the rat destroys annually nearly $685.
100000 worth of property" declares
Mr.. FrisbIe. 1.-THE rat In some parts
of the country is responsible for crop
failures and for the destruction of mil
lions of dollars worth of valuable anil
NAL life.
"The rat is the most industrious and
yillainous dissemination of disease that
preys on man. He leaves trail of
death and destruction.
IF we could get rid of the rat we
could save every year that interest on
the Liberty loan; we could build near
ly enough battleships to meet the de-
mands Of the war; we could supply
25,OOO airplanes to our armies In
France.

SAYS AUSTRIA ANXIOUS

unable to last through another winter
Of war; an Austria whose population
would rise in revolution if any reason
able peace offer were rejected by the
government, was pictured by an intel
ligent Austrian who has arrived from

respondent Monday he told a story
which, though perhaps unduly pessi-
mistic, explains the persistency of
Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, and Of Emperor Charles
in returning again and again to the
subject Of peace negotiations.
