New ZeaIand's Rabbit Pest,

As fair illustration of the rabbit pest in certain portions of New Zea- land, and especially in the drier sec tions of the South island. It is stated that on an estate lately taken over by the New Zealand government, com prtSing 2,446 acres of freehold and pastoral run of 19250 acres, there were killed or captured about 10000 rabbits in order to clear up the prop

On the principle that "a singing na- tion cannot be defeated" the council of national defense is undertaking to organize Liberty ehoruses" in every community in the country. These choruses will sing at all patriotic meetings, such as Liberty loan and Red Cross rallies, and In fact local gatherings of every kind Under the urge and example of It's Liberty chorus. the people of a community will be able to learn and sing the songs of America and of our allies as well.

What seemed rather severe hard ship upon parents and other friends of soldiers who desired to send them packages either of foodstuffs, clothing or tobacco, and were denied that priv
 ilege except upon written request coming through commanding officers. is explained at the war department. It seems that at first the American ex- peditienary force was overwhelmed with these packages, q great quana of which arrived In damaged cozfdi- tion, and whiCo oftentimes were use less to the soldiers. General Pershing therefore issued an order that nothing was to he sent unless on request by the soldier, coming through the officer in command of the detachment. The post office departments will not accept these packages except they comply with the requirements of Pershing's order. In some instances this works a hard ship, but in great war with ii million and quarter of men in foreign land, everything must be systematized.

Already it has come to the notice of officers of the treasury department that sharpers are trying to get the best of innocent people who are owners of Liberty bonds. They are trying to obtain them at discount or to trade worthless properties for them. The treasury department feels called upon 10 warn everybody to beware of this class of swindlers and before dlspos- ing of government bond to consult a banker or government official in re- gard to its value. But further than that, 1t is recommended that owners of government bonds make every ef- fort to hold them, because in doing so they are helping finance the war

A question has been raised as to whether there should not be legisla- ton to prevent the return 10 this eoun- try of Germans who were residents here but went back to Germany to fight for the kaiser There were thou sands of these men who came to this country to better their conditions, some of whom became American citi- zens. but upon the demand of the Ger man autocracy went back and are now fighting against Americans. It would be an interesting question to decide as to whether those German soldiers should e4er again be permitted to enter this country.

All of Amertea's preparations for carrying on the war are on such q grand scale at the present time as to indicate the possibility of protraeted struggle. We have laid down program for long war. With more than a hundred government ship yards completed or i'll the course of construction: with hundreds of pow der and ammunition plants completed CT nearly ready for business; with preparations for an army of 100000 additional men. and with appropria- tionS and revenue laws never dreamed of before. il Is evident that this coun- try is putting Itself in an attitude which will make it the greatest fight ing power the world has ever known. America is really waking up and the Germans must begin to realize that fact by what has happened in Europe alreadF. And they ought te know more about 1t if their spies in this country dare to keep them informed of what the United States is doing.

iteering in WAT supplies first began to receive attention in the national capi- tai general condemnation WAS ex- pressed, and none in more pronounced terms than uttered by Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. quite gen efally recognized us spokesman in the senate for the administration. He then remarked that when American boys were being shot down in Europe1 while fighting the battles of their coun-S try, and at the same time men In thed United States were defrauding thoss- gallant soldiers and accommodating large profits for themselves on goods and materials furnished to the army, it would cause a bitter feeling among the people In this country which would mean severe punishment. If the troops were furnished with poor food and defective raiment, or with guns and ammunition which were poorly made in order that somebody could reap profits, it would mean the prosecution of the profiteers, and no jury in America would let them off with anything less than the maximum amount of punishment.
 While there have been charges and some proof that profteering in the way of furnishing defective materials has been going on, 1t has been com paratively small, considering the vast amount of materials that has been pur chased. But 1t is known that the gov- ernment authorities are close upon the trail of all those who would defraud the soldiers and 1t is almost certain that swift and severe punishment will follow their conviction.

mo HOLIDAY IN
STOCK MARKET
Traders Will Work in Over
coats If Necessary-Ral-
ly Follows Weakness


New York, Jan. 1.-THE order of
the fuel administrator caused con-
fusion and uncertainty In the fnan-
cial district prior to the opening of
the exchanges. There were numer-
Gus hurried conferences among the
heads of the various bank and trust
companies and other financial insti-
tutions.
Officials OF the stock exchange an
nounced that business would con-
tinue as usual, pointing out that
anything like alive day holiday would
work severe disadvantages to thous-
ands Of investors and holders of Sc
curities generally The exchanges
will hold daily sessions subject. how
ever. to the regulations imposed by
Washington. President Noble, Of the
stock exchange, said business there
would go on as usual even If the
floor traders and the clerical forces
in the brokerage ofiices had to work
in oVercoats.
The order caused severe reactions
at the opening of today's market.
The shares most affected were those
of companies which are likely to suf-
fer severe curtailment as a result Of
the new regulations. Steels, coppers
and allied issues broke to 2 points
and specialties including motors two
to four points. Rails were relatively
steady, recessions in investment is
sues averaging little more than a
point. The selling pressure reIapsed
after the first fifteen minutes and by
the end Of the first half hour most
losses were largely restored. Liberty
bonds eased slightly.
Trading today quieted on the re-
bound from an early slump. Asaur-
ances that the exchange would hold
regular sessions as long as the banks
and other financial institutions con-
tinued their daily operations were
most effective in re-establishing con-
fidence.

The Markets
CORN WEAKER ON
new COAL ORDER
Traders Believe Result
Will Be 70 Relieve
Traffic Congestion

Chicago, Jan. 17.-Goyernment
coal saving orders tended slightly
today to ease down the corn market
Traders contended that the effrS OF
such orders would be to relieve traf-
fic congestion, and therefore would
help indirectly to facilitate the move
ment of corn TO market. Selling bas-
ed on this opinion, however, was OF
a d scidedly cautious sort. Opening
prices, which range from unchanged
figures to sc lower, with January
$l.27h and May $l.24b to S1.24h,
were followed by a little reaction in
some cases.
Oats were governed by the same
conditions as corn. What little busi-
mss was done hinged mainly on
prospective Improvement in the fuel
situation as likely in some degree to
aid the crop movement.
Highr prices on hogs gave firmness
to provisions. Arrivals Of hogs were
less numerous than had been ex-
pected. "a
Values hardened later on account
of uncertainty as to whether eleva-
tors and dryers would be permitted
to continue in operation despite re-
strictive rules as to coal. The close
was steady at the same as yesteF-
days finish to 1-Sc higher, with JAM
uary S1.27 SIS and May 1924 1-2.
