FEDERAL GRAND JURIES

washington, April 1s.-Federai grand
jurles In many parts OF the country to.
day were probing to find the real
causes behind the unauthorized rail-
road strike.
So-calied outlaw strike leaders who
have been under subpoenas for several
days were to be questioned by the tu.
ries. which In most cases were called
especially to review the strike trouble
and determine the grounds for possible
indictments. Assistant Atty. Gen. Fran
cis i. Garvan. actively directing this
phase OF the work from washington.
said IL was not possible TO estimate tho
number OF indictments which may be
returned. Many subpoenas we're IT,.
sued and II is expected the number OF
individual cases to be listed for prose-
cution would be heavy. Atty Gen. Pal
mer has practically absolved from
blame the larger part OF the employees
who participated, In she strike. Mr.
Palmer stated in a general way that
simply followed blindly" the so-called
extremist elements.
with the outlaw" strike practically
at an end, the department Of justice
today turned its attention toward prS-
venting n possible, tie-ups In other
large industries, scheduled by May
as a result OF aileSfd conspiracy.
Atty.-Gen. Palmer, admitting he has
knowledge Of dates set for various
walkouts and In I'm possession OF facts
concerning colluslon among leaders pro-
noting these strikes, remained OK

ARMY MULE COMES
INTO OWN AT LAST

Washington. April ia. pal
most everybody and everything that
contributed to the winning of the war
has. received some sort of public recog-
milton from the war department. Even
the patient, long suffering. hard
worked and oft ridiculed mr.s has at
last come to his encomium in, an ap-
probation from the quartermaster-
general.
Here follows the "low down" on the
army mule as 1t comes today In an
official publication. There we're more
than $4,000 of them engaged with the
army overseas, and more than 100000
with the troops in the United States,
and while there was as much heehaw-
ing, kicking, baking, biting and other
mulish tricks as might be expected. the
army mule lived up to his Established
reputation for enduring, sacrificing and
dying like soldier.
= They were not all American mules;
some OF them were allies, like the
troops they fought with. Seven thou
sand came from England and 5000
came from France and another 11,00Q
came from Spain.
."There was no comparison" said the
quartermaster-genera announcement,
between the small, poorly nourished
mule secured in Spain and those pur-
chased in southern. France. and the
powerful, outstanding. mealy- -nosed
product Of the middle west.
''There were times during the final
stage of the war when 1t was impos-
sible to give much needed rest to these
animals. There were not enough to do
the work which confronted them, ana
the result was that 1t was necessary to
keep ON the move forty y-eight, sixty ami
sometimes seventy-two hours, with
hardly more than pause.
Instances have been known where a
pack mule would loaf about the army
kitchen while the cook was baking
bread until he observed the cook busy
at some other duty, when he would APP
proach the fire, raise one foot and paw
on the lid of the Dutch oven. grab the
