HOLY LAND WELCOMES MULE
Why Meek and LowIy Quadruped Has
Been Received With Favor in
a Ancient Palestine.

One of the innumerable blessings
that the war has brought to enfran-
chised peoples is the American mule
that the British army took-or that
took the British army-to Palestine.
The Turks had robbed the farmers of
the Holy Land of all the customary live
stock and the work animals were
replaced by, mules purchased from the
Britons.
1t is a great thing for the farmers
of that historic but, mot hustling land
to come in contact with the energetic
when he feels like it-American
mule. No matter whether the mule
is at work or at play, he will keep
his owner busy. The mule is at once
occupation, entertainment and instruc-
ton. He will hustle the East" with
out incurring the penalty Mr.. Kipling
laid down as inevitable for occident-
ais who attempt that performance.
1t will be great thing for the mule,
too. There in the Bible lands he has
helped redeem from the heather and
will help to make blossom again like
the rose, he may, in picturesque and
soothing environment, reflect, as is his
philosophic wont, upon the meanings
of all things made and rejoice in his
own peculiar blessings.

How to Recognize chapIains.

The war department has again
changed the insignia for chaplains,
and again the cross will give way to
the shepherds crook, which was the
chaplain's insignia up to 1898. Under
the former regulations Jewish chap
lains in the service had the option of
wearing the cross or discarding the
insignia altogether. Representatives
of the organizations of Jewish rabbits
protested that an insignia could BE
found which would be symbolic and
free from criticism of believers in any
creed, and that the adoption of the
crook would obviate all controversy on
this subject The size, and design
Of the crook are now under consider
alton and will be announced at an
early date, but it is said that no reg
ulation will be made requiring a chap
lain to wear any insignia.
The only chaplain of the Jewish
faith in the navy says that he is sat
listed with the naval insignia and has
made no application for a change.
