RATS DESTROY
$780, 100000 WORTH
EVERY YEAR

Washington, d. C., Sept. 22.--At a
time when every grain of wheat and
every pound of meat is expected to
play as important a role In the winning
of Americas war as rain of gun
powder, or pound of steel when con-
verified into cannon or shot. DIR. Ed
ward w. Nelson, the noted biologist
points out. in a communication to the
National Geographic society, that rats
are destroying more than s200, 900, 900
worth of foodstuffs and other property
-the-irtitea- states every twelve
months, and that it requires the con-
slant labor of 10000 men to supply
the food which these loathsome pests
eat. A part or DR.. Nelson's communi-
cation Is issued by the society as the
following war geography bulletin
from its Washington headquarters:
Rats have been pests so long that
they have been taken for granted by
the public, much as Is the weather
or the forces of nature. While people
are often painfully aware OF Individual
losses, they are unaware of the vast
total which these individual, sums
aggregate and the consequent need of
community action against the authors
of such far-reaching economic drains
Denmark. one<haf the size of
sNtutH III pIIUd, HStlnl mated her losses
In 1907 at about 100000 The same
year the losses in the rural districts
of Great Britain and Ireland, not
counting those in towns and on ships,
were estimated at $4,000, 900, and a
capital of about $4,000, 900 was pro
htablv employed there In the industry
OF supplying means for their destruc-
ton. In 1904 the losses in France
were computed at $40. 000. 900
The United States has nine times
the combined area of the three coun-
tries mentioned, and Investigations
indicate that the direct annual losses
here undoubtedly equal, IL they do not
exceed, s2oA. geo Gee with 4 great
additional sum in indirect losses. in
Guiding the effect on the public health
and commerce from the diseases car
rfed by rats, and the necessary ex-
penditures in combating them The
foregoing figures are based on pre-
war prices and are vastly greater under
present valuations

age annual loss caused by each rat
was computed to equal $3.50 in Great
Britain, 81 20 In Denmark, and 81 In
France. In the United States the
average is undoubtedly much larger
especially at present high prices of
food and other merchandise
There is no doubt that very large
number of rats subsist WIDELY on
garbage and waste which is of no
value. but the damage caused by rats
in numerous places amounts to many
dollars each year; probably SIS year
would not be an overestfrlate for the
average loss caused by each rat living
in a dwelling, hotel, restaurant, or
other places having ready access to
food supplies.
Assuming, roughly speaking, that
as estimated the rat population in the
United States Is 100000 for the
cities and 100000 for the rural
districts, 1t will require the destruction
of property by each rat OF only little
more than one-fourth of cent a day
to make the aggregate of the great
sum estimated as destroyed by these
pests yearly IN this country.
Taking the average yearly returns
on a mans labor in agriculture. as
shown by the census of 1910, it re-
quires the continuous work of about
10000 men. with farms, agricultural
implements and other equipment, to
supply the foodstuffs destroyed an
nually by rats in the United States.
In addition. rats destroy other proper

CRUELTY OF GERMANS
|. A1IAZES EVEN TURKS

! Pasadena, Cal. Sept. 22.-That even
the Turks with their reputation for
cruelty stand amazed at the merciless-
| ness of German army officers was the
word brought here by DR.. Thomas
Dawson Christie, president of st.
Paurs college. Tarsus, Asia Minor,
who for forty years was resident of
the Ottoman empire.
Forced to leave Tarsus in 1918 with
the civil population when the Turks
issued the deportation order against
the Armenians, DIR. Christie, seventy
four. a veteran of the Civil war, de-
clared that while the kaiser before
the war had as much power in Tur-
key as he did in Berlin, the Turks
were tired of their bargain with the
German ruler and would welcome
peace.

said Turkish staff officer told him,
