MEANS END OF ARMY MULE
Mechanical Substitute, II Is Said, Will
DO Away With Need for the
Animals Services.

II has been said Of the army mule
that he absorbed more food, endured
more blows, stood fer more profanity
and performed more work than any
other creature that ever came In con-
tact with man.
Now If we are to believe certain ru-
mors In the newspapers, the time is at
hand when there isn't going to be any
army mule. He isn't even to be taken
Into the military service to maintain
tradition, to provide veterans with
stories or to develop the art of cuss-
ing. II our troops, like Uncle TOby's
comrades, swear terribly in Flanders
1t will not be because of the lOng-eared,
long-legged, sure-shot kicker who, in
previous wars, has worn mems tenn
pers to FRAGILE. It will have to be
something else.
The substitute for the mules thews
is a mechanism that looks like bass
drum with n pair of wheels. 1t Is
said to be just iron and power. with
an incidental thirst for liquid fuel. 1t
is warranted to pull entire trains of
wagons, to make armies hump to keep
up with 1t. Tests with 1t have shown
that by its sole efforts 1t will carry the
provender and equipment of an entire
regiment, and think nothing of carry
Ing the regiment along too. This pos
sibly is exaggeratiOn. But 1t is plain
enough that the army has become
emancipated from the mule. The EEL
low could do wonders, but this tractor
affair will do miracles. And that is
what army men pray for.
We can imagine that some old SOL
diers will sorrow over the passing Of
the mule. They remember his virtues
well and have forgotten his teeth and
his hind feet. Man cherishes the pic
turesque, lets time wipe out exaspera-
tion. But this is new kind of war
and Its engines must live by petroleum
and not by horse feed.-Toledo Blade.
