On .no occasion have the destructive powers of mice been more -strikingly demonstrated than during the past year in Australia. Owing to the lack of ocean transportation, vast quanti- tia3 of grain destined for export have accumulated in New South Wales and Victdria. A plague of mice developed and the destruction to - the stored grain has been enormous. In' .some places, the ravages of the mice were so great that huge stacks of grain wore reduced to what resembled heaps of debris in' a few months. The Wheat Board in New South Wales • - ganized a campaign of destruction. In one place, the catch for two nights to- talled seven tons of mice: In another place 56,000 mice were caught in four nights. This was an exceptional out- break, but it serves to show the de- structive .power of these small crea- tures in the mass.

' A .despatch from ,the British Army In. France, says: -The Germans had intended to make a much more preten- tious assault in Flanders on Wednes- day ,than they were actually able to • esrry- out, it has been learned. Their failure was due to the• excellent work • of tine allied gunners and to a small. ,coincident operation by the French • east of Scherpenberg, which came at 'the right moment_ to ' help upset the snemey plans in this sector. - • - The Germans preceded their ad - varies by a terrific all-night bom- • 'bardenent agqaainst both British and $!french _oo.,a wide front. At 9.80 o'clock the infantry was started by the lend Reserve, which -was sent against movement among the enemy had brought down a tremendous barrage from the -British guns against a Ger- i man division on the right of the -52nd Reserves.. Nothing further happened along this sector, but it appeared later that- the enemy -had been assembling ' here to participate in the • attack and had been so badly smashed that the. idea of their taking ,part had been abandoned. .In the meantime along the French . front between Locre and LaClytte the French' had their eyes open and be- gan a heavy bombardment. Also, the' French had undertaken a snhall• 'operation in the early morning- for the• capture • of a• position east of Scherpenberg Hill. The combination of the French attack. and. the great bonibardment undoubtedly completely upset the German plans for additional German divisions, which were as- sembling to assist tiseir Comrades on their right, could not be brought in.
