The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1918-04-02

From France comes the cheering
news that the bray is being removed
from the American army mules. In
a dispatch published in the New York
herald is this:
"The Americans have taken up
French veterinary practice, extract
ing the bray from a mule by slight
surgical operation on the nose, so
that the silvery bray, which can be
heard a mile or two upon silent nights
at the front, will become harmless
wheeze-not enough to awaken the
enemy and draw his shell fire."
Every army mule who goes to
France to help win the war is debray-
ed when he gets there. Formerly the
mules got within scenting distance of

During their voyage Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson visited the Island of Malli-
Gala, where Nagapate. the chief high
sachem of the Big Number tribe,
showed fondness for their COM
pany and sought to detain them. At
ter landing Johnson made a reel of
film and then, accompanied by nine
armed natives and a group of naked
bOatmen, he and his wife sought Ma
gapate, who happened to be on hill
near the coast. AS the party APP
preached the throne Nagapate gave
some orders at which the carrier boys
dropped the camera. Another order
brought forth an army of Nagapate's
followers who had been concealed in
the surrounding brush. All were
armed, making it impossible for John
son or his wife to defend themselves.
The chief gave more orders and
groups Of men started to lead john
son in one direction and Mrs. John
son in another. At that time there
appeared in the bay British man
ot-war carrying the French and Brit
ISL governor of the island, who had
heard that the Johnsons were visiting
Mallicala. The white men, it seems,
mad been slain and eaten by the can
moals year before, which made the
governor a little anxious about the
yenturesome pair. The presence of
the ship caused the natives to release
the Johnsons, who managed to escape
with the loss of a camera and some
other equipment.

Army Mule Now Hee-Hawless;
Veterinarians Cut Out the BRAY
Slight Operation Nose Sences Voice That Oucassed the
Shrieking Shell in Procaiming Defiance Of the Boches

busy and experimental on the vocal
organs of the mules, and now they
are hee-hawless. The poilus admired
the spirit of the army mules, but they
thought they were bit too reckless
in expressing their opinion of the
enemy, so they betrayed them, and
now brayless mules are the only kind
at the front. They also have swear
less drivers, but that is another story.
DR.. George W. Little, chief veter-
marian of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals, explain
ed to a Herald reporter yesterday
just how the offending and dangerous
bray is extracted from a mule. He
said:
The operation is much the same
as that used to cure roaring in hors-
es. 1t consists usually in the remov-
al of some of the mucous membrane
of the larnyx, thus forcing the vocal
cords backward and preventing their
vibration. 1t is the vibration of the
vocal cords which causes roaring in
horses and braying of mules. Some
times it may be necessary to remove
the arytenoid cartilage, or even
small section from the vocal cords
themselves. A local anaesthesia is
used or sometimes the animal may
be chloroformed to permit of the
operation. 1t is usually successful
and not followed by any bad results"

The moral effect was considerable,
even though the supposition was that
the number of the American troops
In line was not considerable.
The comforting thing to the
French is that recently, whenever
there has been hot fighting, the
Americans have had a share of it,
even if small one, and have acquitt-
ed themselves creditably.
