You can motor along country high- ways through the most delightful farm- ing. country and scarcely catch a glimpse of the army as you go, save the truck and umbuiance trains in the rear, the sentries and staff and regi- mental headquarters. ‘The fighting onits are strung out over country plow- ed and seeded for this season's crops, but you don’t-see enough of them to conélude that there is even a good- sized regiment on the job. Thus has the art of camouflage been devoloped—a new and interesting scl- ence of modern warfare still in its pri- mary stages in spite of all that has been done. As you motor well within the zone of “high explosives, shrapnel and gus, you catch fleeting glimpses of men and animals and chow guns between the foliage, and batterles ingeniously Screened from the eagle eyes and the lenses of enemy aviators and balloon observers. You are astounded to note how cleverly the topography and the beauties of nature have been pressed into use in the scheme of concealment and deception knéwn as camouflage. Army Sleight-of-Hand. ‘The army sleight-of-hand has become such a big and necessary feature of war that every army post has its an- aex of war scenery which reminds you ofa visit back to the stage between theatrical performances. The most skilled artists are doing their bit in this respect, nor are camouflage ef- tects confined to them. It is amusing to see how army eooks and buck pri- vates shield themselves and thelr kitchens and their animals. Camou- Yage certainly offers opportunity for levelopment limited only by the skill an@ cleverness of the individual and naterials offered by nature. When our men were rushed into the flood of strife on the Marne and re- li@ved French units fagged by days and nights of incessant fighting, hurl- 2d:back the Germans with heavy loss- 2s, and held the highway to Paris, they passed thousands of refugees who had hurriedly evacuated farms and ham- lets and towns. These refugees were exhausted by fright and travel and loss of sleep. They were pushing wheelbarrows or baby carriages containing all the honsehold treasures that they had been able to save, while others with more warning and greater facilities, rode on carts great and small, piled high with chairs and bedding and mirrors and pletures, | Little tots slept in the eddies of these loads. I saw one huge load deawn by six oxen the color of milk. The head of the house was driving and his wife and four children were perched on the load. Dangling from the back was a bicycle, a doll’s car- tiage, and in the latter were tucked a toy gun and sword and a French doll with one eye. The owner in her mother's lap on high had her favorite dolly clutched to her little breast. 1 Anywhere for Safety. | The child was crying and so was her mother. Most of the refugees were solemn-faced,’ stunned, stoic. They were rattling over the roads anywhere for safety, away from the Hun shells and polsonous vapors, when clouds of dust appeared and there careened past them hundreds of huge army. trucks and in them ‘were American soldiers, faces tanned ‘the color of leather and every lad of them smiling or singing. ‘They were coming to fight for the ite and safety of these old men and en and little children-who crowd: ; ‘ Company. ‘Bald the cynical one: “A man ts Kgown. by the company he keeps, usually despised by the company his wite keeps for afew weeks during the call it? Oui, the punch. It is wonder- ful. It is superb. It has welded our people more closely than ever.” Show Their Gratitude, And the French populace showed their gratitude in divers ways, by the eloquent ovation to our wounded on their way to Paris in ambulances, in speeches and public prints and in streets and highways wherever an American uniform showed itself. With all due respect to the tradition. al ties that bind France and the Unit- ed States, there had been periods when the populace wondered and doubted. Four months ago when I reached the theater of war it was not uncommon 4s French troops passed Americans, to hear shouts in French which con- veyed the sully that American troops Were all right for training camps, but had not felt the ga% of the front line, Then came the fights in Apermont Woods und Seicheprey and the curry- ing and holding of the village of Can- tigny against # series of savage but futile German counter-attucks, and, the biggest und most brilliant American performance of all in stopping the drive on Paris, which molded a new public ‘sentiment and \a fervor of ‘en- thusiasm everywhere \upparent. The Yanks hud come and made good, Apre- mont Woods, Selcheprey; Cantigny and the Marne were indexes of greater American achievéments, , The concentration of sufficient Amer- lcan forces at this critical pivot was a big feather in the cap of the Ameri- can commanders, Thousands of men, ample supplies and ammunition and the impedimenta that goes with a mod- ern army were thrown into the gap and the German tide was stemmed. 4s we rode over the dusty hill at daybreak we saw hundreds ‘of colored Moroccans in their red turbans lying exhausted along the road and under the trees. We saw French artillery and infantry leave positions that had been filled by our men during the aight. And, oh! the spectatle of our tellows going in With their firm chins, their ‘broad backs and their fearless 2yes—going into hell. Had to Leave Quickly. American officers bivouacked in a ichoolhouse and converted the rooms ‘nto offices where maps were unfurled and strung. The ink was still in the little wells in the pupils’ desks and there were chalk examples and sen- tences on the blackboards, We brewed toffee and breakfasted on war-bread and confiture in a little white cement house where everything was in place, The owners had to leave quickly, say- ing only a few family effects. The quaint family clock was ticking. on the mantel, s Poultry cackled inthe yard and two tows munched under a shelter. Cour- iers on motorcycles as white as if they emerged from flour barrels, dashed yack and forth. More artillery rattled, into place and more trucks filled with American brawn rumbled over the hill. There was a brief period of deliber- ation, and, without sleep or food, our men attacked, with what success the world already knows. It was worse than going over the top. It was a case of advancing through wheat fields and woods in the face of nests of en- emy machine guns. There were no trenches or dugouts, German prisoners sald that our rifle fire was so heavy and true they mis- took it for machine guns, Massing of machine guns and light artillery, pending the arrival of the guns of larger caliber, destroyed any mass play. (ir men took their ob- Jectives In little crouching . groups which extended: {nto skirmish lines when follage enabled. But, open as It was, the fighting lacked the battle- field spectacle of wars of old one sees in pictures.. Even those engaged ‘saw little of the encounter, / Sets Example to Five Sons. As an example to his five sons, who are still u few years short of fighting age, George Bradshaw, prosperous farmer of Imperial county, California, has enlisted in the engineers’: corps, “I want my boys to realize when they are-old enough to be taken intu the service that their place is on the firing line,” Bradshaw said.

WAR CROSSES FOR YANKS. “Quiet Day” Skirmish. Lieut. Sidney Ellevald, Grand.
