ELECTION DECLARATION BY BRITISH MINISTERS
 OUTLINES PROGRAM

LONDON, Dec. 11.-LlOyd George and Andrew Bonar Law in an cleo ton address to the country state: We must endeavor to reduce the war debt in such a manner as to inflict the least injury to industry and credit. It will be the duty of the Government to remove all exist ing inequalities of law as between men and women, and create a sec ond chamber based upon direct con tact with the people. There can be no political peace in the, Kingdom or empire while the Irish question remains unsettled. Therefore, all practical paths toward a settlement must be explored. There are two paths, however, which are closed, namely, one leading to the com plete severance of Ireland from the empire and the other to forcible subjection of the Ulster counties to a home rule parliament against their will"

DR. KARL LIEGKNECHT
 THINKS RED PROPAGANDA
 SHOULD BE EXTENDED

LONDON, Dec. 1.-The oratory of Dr. Karl Liebknecht, the Ger man radical leader, is forceful and vindictive. His principle appeal is to the proletariat. Did the bour- geoise while in power permit you to have a voice in the gQyernment?' he will ask. "No," he answers, then the workingman must now al low, it to have say now. We need government of soldiers and work men, one typifying the proletariat, which will not have to bow down before the entente. There must be no pickering with entente imperial ism. We will dispose of that just as we did of the German autocracy. The revolution is bound also to reach the entente countries, but we who made the Russians waste whole years, are demanding that the revo- lution break out in England and France, within "A hours"

WHAT POSTAL MAN SAYS.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-President Mackay of the Postal Telegraph-Ca- ble Co. stated Thursday that the annual compensation allowed the company by Postmaster-General Burleson was $1,6S0,000, despite the fact that the profit from the lines in 1917 was $4,269, ,000." He said further: Postmaster Burle- son takes from the Postal Co. $2,- 589, ,000 which he to all intents and purposes pays over to the Western Union Co., because under the com pensation he is paying that company he is losing at least $2,30O,000 per annum. The profit from lines of Postal Go. for August, 1918, first month of Government control was $32,000. The compensation which the Government pays for that month is $140,000. MT. Burleson there fore keeps $1S0,000 and this $780, 900 goes to pay the Western Union compensation"

GET RID OF RATS AND MICE

in the United States rats and mice
destroy each year in homes, factor
les, stores and warehouses, in cars
and on ships, crops, poultry, and 9TH
er property valued at more than
5000, ,00-an amount equiva-
lent to the gross earnings of an
army of 100000 men. Grain, eaten
and wasted by rats and mice on
many farms, would pay all of the
farmers taxes.
States, communities, and irdividu-
ais can help eliminate rats and mice:
BY requiring that all new buildings,
wharves, and other structures be
rat-proof; that existing buildings of
rat-proof construction be further
protected by having basement wind
ows and drains covered with screens,
gratings, etc.; and that existing
buildings that are not rat-proof be
made so by remodeling.
Protect the Food Billions;
Destroy Rats and Mice
We have billions of bushels of
food worth billions of dollars. Let's
protect these billions. We need all
of them. Let's not allow rats and
mice to take their toll of millions
this year-$200,O0.00 is their annu-
al bail of destruction. Trapping pois-
oning, and rat proofing cause enor-
nous food loss. Organized rat hunts
by communities are effective. In
one Ohio town a few years ago each
Of two organized teams killed more
than 5000 rats, and a dinner for all
the hunters was the penalty for the
losing side. Boards Of trade, civic
societies, and citigens' associations
in towns, and farmers women's
clubs in rural communities should
