Copies of the resolution also were sent

Members of the post.- numbering! more
than 200, set forth in detail in the reso
lutions "'in righteous anger" the causes
for which they fought. - .
.We fought, for outraged womn" says
the resolution. "We fought for martyred
nurses, for crucified nuns and little chil
dren, for the, defense of those principles
of human liberty, which were laiid down
19 centuries ago by the first great
teacher and preacher .of human j rights,
the Man of Galilee; all these things we
fought' for, and we disclaim and resent
the efforts of anyone, of whatever party
or creed,' to belittle out- efforts and deeds,
and to assign to us a selfish and cow
ardly reason for fighting in our righteous
anger and in that wonderful fighting
spirit of 1917." ,

Rats, You Terriers!
War Is Declared on
Army of Eodentk
. Now is the time . for ; all ; good men,
women and , children to make valiant
fight to exterminate the ' rats that are
workings backward M from i the s water
front because of the : high wa.ter. " -
This,-; in brief, ' is the advice; of TJr.
George Parrish, city health officer. The
reports show that hundreds of rats are
invading basements, f sheds and ouU
buildings Since the high water drove
them out from their habitats along the
wharves. Dr. Parrish says that per
sistent effort at this time will make
such inroads on the. rodent population
that they will give- little trouble here
after. "Use traps, cats, terriers and dubs,
for in many cases you can knock 'em
dead," said Parrish. "I advise the very
liberal use of. chloride of lime, sprin
kled in ' powder form wherever the t'ata
are showing themselves.; ' They" will not
stay where " this is sed,:; and ; those
that get their feet in the stuff spread
the word so that others will desert the
places." - '
In his report - to s. Mayor,- Baker , on
plans for handling the- sanitary situa
tion after the high waters recede, Dr.
Parrish said he proposes to -use a
large force of Inspectors to see ' that
private properties are 1 cleansed Of
back ed-up sewage and. other, filth and
rubbish..'' v
