Rats
The trenches are filed with rats,
which gather to pick up any morsels
of food which are thrown away by
the soldiers.
Electrocution has been successfully
used by the French, and this method
has accounted for great numbers OF
the pests. a trough is eXcavated
along a rat run adjoining the trenches
and strung with wires through which
a constant current is passed. II Is

The German has proved himself

enemies lines were only five hundred
yards away. At night the men Sc
cured ration by their comrades bring
ing 1T to them as well as helping them
with their shelters. During the next
day there was bitter fighting and fresh
troops came to take their places. The
relieved troops frequently moved back
and made out little trenches and sup

in time finally became connected with
a rear trench until at the present time

In building trenches great care for
sanitation must be observed. and dur
ing this war heavy penalties have
been imposed upon the men who dis

Listening Posts
Places for listening posts must be

war eavesdropping is not only highly
proper. but has been reduced to 4
science for military purposes. An in
strument known as the mlcrophone is
a mechanical device for the detection
of faint sounds at a distance and for
making them audible to the person
using it. The head piece is similar
TO that of telephone receiver. Two
men ensconced in a rocky dug out can
listen at leisure to the unsuspecting
Germans in the enemy trenches with

great victories being won by the boys
over there These victories are fol
lowed by such headlines ms this,
PEACE IN SIGHT and n sense of
security. This feeling and such head
lines are the most insiduous German
propaganda. There must be such a
complete victory that there will be no
enemy with which to negotiate a
peace.

Two years to say the least. Silence is
the medicine for this German poison.
Let there be but one answer to peace
talk: the barking OF the 'seventy-flves'
and the yip of the machine guns mixed
with the whir OF battle planes. Put
this mixture together in the proper

verse by another Doctor That man
is DR.. John McRae, killed at tho

written line of verse until he saw
the terrible slaughter brought on by
the attempt Of the All Highest to run
the universe. Shortly before he was
killed Or. McRae wrote these won

In instructing schoolchildren in knit
ting, they must begin with the simplest
things first and advanced to those that
are more difficult, as I'm anything else.
Some of the schools started out with
the six-inch squares made of colOrcd
warns on No. 8 needles, and after that
they undertake mufflers, then wristlets.
The squares are used by the Red Cross
by Joining them to make small quilts
or cOverlets.
Yarn and knitting needles can be
purchased either from stores or Red
Cross chapters. The standardized
Red Cross needles are in three sizes,
and their numbers and sizes are as fol-
lows:
Knitting needles, No. 1-135-1, 900
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 2-175-1.O 600
inch in diameter.
Knitting needles, No. 3-20O-1,O 600
inch In diameter.
The children use No. 3 needles. They
are first taught to least on" and to
avoid making their first stitches too
tight. Beginning on the small squares
the children practice until they can
make the stitches even and firm. They
must be taught to pick up a dropped
stitch and sometimes ravel out and re-
knit a square several times. Both
boys and girls like the work.
They are taught to splice the yarn
when it must be joined or to leave ends
two or three inches long to be darned
In. All knots and ridges are to be
avoided. When they have learned to
knit the squares they can take up the
muffiers. For these they must use the
regulation gray or khaki colored yarn
that is sold for army garments, and
one pair of No. 8 needles. For muf-
