this first practical manifestation OF
Carranza's proclaimed neutrality. Sug-
gestions that the proclamation of neu-

more friendly feeling for Germany HAD
never been accepted by the Wilson ad-

RABBIT TRAPPING HAS
EXPERIENCED A BOOM AS A
RESULT OF THE WAR

MELBOURNE, Australia, April 81.
-Rabbit-trapping and expectation of
refrigerated rabbits has experienced
boom as result of the war Here
tofore, the rabbits have been curse
to Australia and millions of pounds
sterling have been expended in an
effort to eradicate them.
Lately, however, the commonwealth
authorities have been taking an active
interest in rabbits for consumption
both in Australia and abroad. The
view that rabbit is pest which should
be extirpated is not being encouraged.
Steps have been taken by the Govern
ment to have the poisoning of the ami
mails suspended, and trappers are be-
ing urged to maintain the output for
consumption.
Undoubtedly this policy is the result
of the war strain upon food supplies in
Great Britain and among the other En-
tente allies. A month or two ago the
British government notified the Com
monwealth Government that it had de :.
cided to buy the whole of the surplus
of Australian refrigerated rabbits for
the season of 1917. The transaction
will involve about $2,50O,OO0. Last
season Australia exported 10,296000I
pairs of rabbits, showing the extent of
the supply which Great Britain has
contracted to take.

certainly that. but a philosophe' with
the motive OF a missionary. IT was
not the philosophy of logic or ethics,
AZ science which called him out OF
the workshop. but the love Of man
and the belief that he had a divine
mission toward his fellow creatures.
