Mule Gets Her Hun

ords OF the U. s. army as mule at
tached for duty with the Red Cross in
Flanders" Her task was to carry
two huge bags. one filled with cigar
cites. the other with chocolates, up
through the front line trenches.
One day in October the field work
er who accompanied Mehitable was
killed by German sniper. The mule,
however. continued on her way.
In the course of her wanderings,
Mehitable spied First Lieutenant Ira
J. Hodes. of Brooklyn IN. " and a
friend crawling through Flanders
mud on their way to "clear up" some
Germans in shell holes out beyond.
The mule clambered out after the two
Americans and passed them. Lazily
picking her way she came upon a
nest of Germans" and advanced to
the edge Of the shell hole. stretched
out her nose to be rubbed.
A German officer. fearing that the
mules presence would betray the To-
cation Of the shell hole. pricked her
sharply in the flank with his bayonet.
Mehitable regarded the German philo-
sophically for moment, then she
turned and kicked the officers head
with such force that his helmet flew
nearly twenty yards.
With a "you-deserved-it" look. Me-
hitable slowly plodded back to the
American trenches, paying no atten-
ton to the German fire. The body
OF the German officers, killed by the
blow from the mules hoofs. was later
buried by the Americans.
