Humora Of the Mule Race.

In nearly every army race meeting
held In France during the war there
was provision for a mule race. Some
mules, London Times correspondent
says, were remarkably fast and handy.
while others were satisfactory so long
as 1t was straight course. At one
meeting of the Picquigny course the
distance was four furlongs, with very
sharp rlght-handed turn at the half
distance. II the turn was not taken
there was no alternative but to go into
the woods which surrounded the
course. Fully 25 of the mules re-
fused to take the bend and plunged
straight into the wood, which is thick
and very dark. After while the
whole woods were reverberating with
the agonizng cries which only mules
can make. Strange to relate there were
no serious casualties to men or mules.

DOGS HELPED TO WIN WAR
Part Played by Pets Of the American
Soldiers Should by Mo Means
Be Overlooked.

A bewildering mass of printed mat
Ter Is accumulatlng which bears upon
the relative and intrinsic usefulness
Of various agencies which contributed
fo the welfare and comfort of the
American army in France, There Is
nlso much discussion of the phrt
which French women and children
played IN mitigating the loneliness
and hardshlps Of service far from
home. But little has been said OF the
service rendered by French dogs.
Some authorities claim that on the
average there was n pet dog to every
company Of soldiers averaging $50
men, at the outset. This would make
1000 dogs for 100000 men. or 5000
dogs for the entire American army
in France when the armistice was
signed
1t Is quite possible that these thou
snnds of pets contributed more TO the
dogs used for scouting and watching,
and even those that served in the Red
cross to find wounded and exhausted
soldiers and carry first-aid comfort to
them where they lay, in obscure places
not easily discovered by human sense.
For the pets helped nightly in keep
Ing up the morale of men tired and
battered by the hard work Of the cam
paign. They were ION the Job" all the
time, They were a moral tonic and
they taught, as fine dogs always do,
the kind Of devotion and loyalty which
Is the very soul of good army.
II 5000 dogs, or only 5000, were
kept as pets by American soldiers in
France 1t is certain that they pro-
vided millions Of hours of pleasure
for weary men and soothed n multitude
Of homesick hearts. They typlfed the
affection which does not grow cold
the faith which never wavers, and such
stcadfastness was good for fighting
men to think about, in an alien land.

due to the inability Of French dealers
