A Washington dispatch reports rabbits, once a pest in Australia and the U S southwest, are now a wartime revenue source and aid food supply. The British board of trade ordered 600000 crates of skinned rabbits, requiring slaughter of 2160000 animals weighing 36000000 pounds dressed. Previously shipped with skins attached, fur removal caused hospital issues in England, prompting Australian speculation on skins disposal amid scarce tonnage.
