An Australian rabbit "pooi'! The
war is accountable for many queer
things, but Of all Of them this is, per
haps, the queerest. Ask any Australian
sheen man or farmer his opinion Of
the rabbit, and II his loathiug Of the
long-osred rodent is not too deep for
utterance his reply is sure TO be pep
pered with explosives or bad words.
The rabbit is a curse in the great
southern continent, curse with quail
fcatons TO the tune Of several million
dollars. Incidentally these quaiica-
tions concern the United States, for
Antipodean rabbit fur is essential for
hat making in our country and it
commands higher prices than it did.
The war has given "Brer Rabbit In
Australia dignity he never before
possessed. Briefly, the situation is
this: Before The way be was a ma
tional pest but, paradoxically, pest
which was being turned 10 good ac-
count The currency OF the war has
not lessened his pcstifcrousness-
a whit. He is as much OF an abomi-
nation to most Of Australia as Kaiser
Bill is.
Because Australians have gone to
the war in numbers he is meekly and
iusatiably wrcaking himself upon the
country 70 q greater extent than ever.
But. too, he is an asset OF larger pro-
portions than ever. The war has had
the effect of pooling MIN just as it
has pooled Australian wheat. fruit
