Sure-Footed Beasts Are Baokfibne of Mountain Transportation (Correspondence of the Asso. Press). Headquarters of the Italian Army, | May 22.—The black line of loaded pack mules, each led by an Alpine sol- dier, is one of the strangest sights to { be met in the mountain war zone. On busy days this line may sometimes be seen winding its way from a val- ley five miles distant up the mountain passes to peaks 10,000 feet high. The mulo is at once the glory and the backbone of the mountain tran portation system of the Italian arm Tt is particularly useful because it unafraid. Itself bred in the moun- tains, often growing under the very noses of volcanoes and used to graz- ing while earthquakes threaten, at the front it hardly pricks its ears at ar- tillery noises. It is estimated that 250,000 mules are in service in war zone. from the Abruzzi mountains in the central part of Italy, but they have heen requisitioned from every part of the kingdom, even Sicilly and Sardina, together with their two-wheeled carts painted with scenes of provincial his tory. To this mule in the war Italy hitched much of her hauling and carrying today, Wwith plenty of fine roads and new bridges in the war zone, the mule still keeps pace with the automobile, the nar- row guage railway and the airline rail- ways of the high mountains. This little mile, eleven to thirteen hands high, often hardly as large as a Texas pony, is different from other mules, burros, and beasts.

Frankfort, Germany, May 18.— rom experiences in the field in Rus- sia, Dr. Adolf Schnee is convinced, | and has suggested to the German gov- crnment, that young crows are a tasty and valuable source of food, and that | | the old,” tough birds that follow the | armies by the tens of thousands are | a plentiful source of fat that can be | used in making soap if not in prepar- | ing food for human beings. i Dr. Schnee suggests therefore that | crow hunting be begun systematically, after the government has been con- vinced of the correctness of his views, and after experts have determined just | how crow fat can be purified and to | just what purposes it can be put after | being adulterated or added to other | and scarcer fats. | During the months of May, June and July, Dr. Schnee says, the yvoung “sced crows” are practically plenti- ful and tender. In the three months following the same birds, or still old- | er ones, abound more than at any other time in fat. Under the skin of each bird, he has found, there are layers of fat of a | particularly desirable character— which is much used by .the Russian | peasants. In addition the organs of’ the birds are surrounded by fat which differs merely in color and smell from the fat of other animals that is regu- larly used. From a full grown crow there can be obtained, he says, from eighty to 150 grams of fat ,or an ave haps of 100 kilograms from every birds. Put through the ordinar: cesses, this yields some seven or eight kilograms of lard which is much in use in Russian peasant circles. Even the meat of the old crows is edible, says Dr. Schnee, if it is put through a pickling proc of some | four to six weeks with onions, and then served with a kind of cabbage. In taste it is similar to pickled wild boar. Dr. Schnee suggests the crea- tion of hunting parties chosen by the government to patrol behind the lines in the -east,” sending back to experts the crows they shoot to be “‘de-fatted” and pickled.
