Gas Gets the Rats.

An enemy whose activities do not
figure in the official reports but against
which allied soldiers wage daily war
fare is the rat. Tens Of thousands Of
rats, huge, sharp-fanged fighters, have
dug themselves in among the billets
and trenches In France and Flanders
and they are q constant torment.
Thanks to modern medical science
there has been little or no disease
communicated by the rodents. Rats
multiply rapidly in the trenches and
thrive well. They steal the soldiers
rations, disturb his rest and spitefully
bite him when he offers resistance. The
pest is hunted with f~errets, terriers,
poison and traps and when particu-
larry numerous given a gas attack.
After the trenches are drenched with
gas they are generally clear Of rats
for q long period.
