Rat Causes Midnight Stir.

Corp. Freeman e. Prior of the base
hospital after three quarters of an
hours vigil induced a rat to enter
a shredded wheat box which he
placed on the floor and then, after it
had curled itself into ball, he clamp
ed the lid on and carried it out of the
barracks to exterminate it.
This occurred at 1850 Friday night.
Having succeeded in carrying it out
into the open. it made its escape
through the bottom and ran in the di-
rection of Ward Sc.
Prior set his dogs on the trail and
chased it as far as the ward, when it
disappeared from view. After firing
several shots at the escaping rodent
with his old trusty, thereby disturb
ing the peaceful inhabitants of that
neighborhood. when the smoke had
entirely cleared away neither rat nor
dogs could be seen. Next morning
Prior had searching party out and
he swore that the size of the rat was
enormous. pointing out the fact that
the tracks showed Enthusiastically that
it must have been as large as a cat. A
thorough examination was made of
the size of the tracks in the trail to
confirm this.

Just now 1t is a rather sad sight to
look out on the fields Of vegetables
and fruits and see the condition OF

provided the opportunity for the men
to help themselves and others and yet
the ground remains, for the most
part, uncultivated. The work is not
hard, for mules are provided and it Is
easy to learn to follow the plow.

Treaty matter is still undisposed

that they be accepted by at least
four others powers before Amer
lean ratification Of the Peace
Treaty becomes valid It is re-
ported that number Of Republi-
cans, including certain radicals,
endorse this plan. A number Of
others, however, while favoring
"mild' reservations, are becom-

are willing, if reasonable efforts
to secure reservations fail, to try
the league plan as it is.
