Cording to Mr.. Jamison, $4,000. 900

each rat destroys between forty
and fifty pounds of food annually
He said that 10000 men provide
rats with home and feed and it

destroyed property.
Maryland estimates the board
bill at one-fOurth cent per day for
100000 rats" said Jamison. ''ThS
board bill will amount to $3,193,-
$50 a year. Illinois is six times
the size of Maryland. If her RAJ
population is in the same ratio,
we feed 10000 1000 rats at a cost of
$18,000,000. One pair of rats
breeding uninterruptedly for three
years would be increased to 359,-

rats while they are around the
buildings. Thirteen farmers in
Talbot county, Maryland. during a
recent county campaign had a total
catch of 425 rats, the largest num-
Der on one farm being los. The
average was 30 rats to farm. In
England they spent $50 in prizes

CRITICISM OF THE ARMY Y NJ G. A. AS

GOOD CHANCE TO LEARN THE FACTS

was grateful. If he did not get the
doughnut or did not see a Salvation
Army man, he had no possible or
/ tancied grievance.
! I covered a good part of the
! American front. l think l heard
samples of every kind of criticism,
and there was plenty in the air
| One officer likened the American
| family in France to a great sewing
circle, everybody gossiping about
everybody else. He overstated it,
but that is a majors comment, and
| not mine. What startles me now is
! the fact that certain new criticisms
| of y" work which seem to be
arising from some source or other
were not heard in the days of ac-
ton. Some one now is saying, for
instance, that 'Y'' secretaries did
not get to the front. Surely the
number killed and wounded, dec
GRATED for bravery in action, the
| large number of huts captured by
the Germans, disprove this. The
colonel of a regiment in the First
division said to me: -Four ~ sec
retaries were attached to my regi-
ment. Three of them were wound
ed in action, and the fourth escap-
ed through no fault of his own l
have recommended all for citation"
Statements as to prOfiteering and
undue cost are not worth answer
ing specifically here, because any
one honestly DESTROYS of knowing
the truth can get army reports
showing that every cost was sub
incfpd IN official iDvactioa fiOp nv
some one appointed by General
Pershing, as well as by the war
department; that the budget of ex-
penditures of the "Y'' was frequent
ly studied and approved by the mil
itary authorities
1t was an interesting fact about
all sorts of criticisms in the field
that the original critic made his
charge in the half good-natured
routine sort of way that was char
acteristic. I heard one branch of
the army talk in just such a way
about another branch, or men in
another welfare organization talk
about their own superiors It was |
only half meant-a sort OF safety |
valve in a time of great nervous |
strain. But the man who picked |
up such charges secondhand often |
passed them on with added cir |
cumstantial detail and a bitterness
