MEXICAN MULES ARE
BEING USED IN EUROPE

JUAREZ, Mexico, Jan. 26.-Mexi-
can mules will have a part in the Ital-
ian campaign against Austria in the
Trentino. Mule buyers for the Italian
government have been purchasing all
of the available Mexican mules along
this part of the border for shipment
to Italy.
These sturdy little mountain mules
are not the Mexican burros to often
mistaken for Mexican mules. The real
Mexican mule is a small, short-legged
little animal who is as rugged as a
mountain goat and will climb almost
as well The Mexican mule is used
extensively in the army for carrying
mountain howitzers and machine guns.
They also are used for carrying wood
and forage into the mountain districts,
where both are scarce, on the long
campaigns against the Villa revolu-
tionists.

Dorothy Slaughter, whose father,

fourth alleged kidnapping when Sher-
iff Reynolds of Dallas county, armed
with a writ of habeas corpus, took
her from school here, placed her in

later boarding a train for Dallas.
Since her eleventh month, the child,
now IL years old, has been shunted
back and forth between her maternal
grandparents, with whom her mother
resides here, and her paternal grand
parents in Dallas, who have failed
three times to retain legal custody
of the child. Steps, it is announced,
will be taken at once to return the

j. S. STEEL DECLARES
EXTRA DIVIDEND ON
ITS COMMON STOCK

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-All pre-
vious prosperity" records in the his
tory of the United States Steel cor
poration were surpassed today when
the directors declared an extra div
idend Of TX per cent on the common
stock, together with the regular
quarterly disbursement of IL per
cent for the fourth quarter Of 1916,
and issued a statement Of earnings
for the same period exceeding by far
all similar exhibits of past years, as
well as more than fulfilling the most
optimistic forecasts.
The earnings for the quarter,
amounting to S105,96s,347, brought
the years total earnings to 1888, $685.
086, which more than doubled these
of 1907 which, showing earnings of
S160, 1864, 674, stood as the record year
until the close of 1916. o'.
The total earnings for the quarter
covered in today's statement compare
with the total of 1851, OCT for the
third quarter of 1916, a sum which
then constituted a record. The total
1916 earnings compare with S140,-
250,066 in 1915.
With today's extra disbursement,
the total dividends on the common
shares for 1916 amount to 81 per
cent. The extra common disburse-
ment calls for an outlay of $685., 294.
This makes the total dividend dis
bursement for the fourth quarter, in
GLIDING the regular IL per cent COM
mon dividend and the usual IL per
cent on the preferred stock, amount
to 81, 533, 1896. Some surprise was ex-
pressed in financial quarters because
the directors did not declare a larger
dividend return in the face of the
enormous earnings of the fourth quar-
ter.
Analysis Of this final period shows
that the corporation was not handi-
capped by the shortage of coal, cars
or labor.
