sands who began that brilliant charge
throw themselves to the ground and, as
best and quickly as they can, work their
way back to the trenches they left.
Wounded and dismayed they stagger
back to their lines and to their officers.
I'VE cannot see them, we cannot see
them, is their cry, that becomes almost
pitiful moan through their helplessness,
and there is no word of blame from the
officers, for more than once before has q
brilliant charge been begun only to melt
away through the death Of thousands
from the fire of rifles held always by
an unseen foe.
Consider again what 1t means to fight
an invisible foe. The English artillery,
after hours and hours Of crashing, has
all but silenced the artillery which the
Germans had placed just over the ridge
of a stretch of rising ground The
superb English cavalry, the men all clad
in the colorless brown khaki of the Eng
lish and OF the American army, is ordered
forward to take the rest Of the guns and
hold the ridge
With a thunder Of hoofs on the
plowed earth they gaIlop forward,
shouting, singing. whistling, lashing their
horses to greater speed. Their comrades
In the trenches watch them with proud
hearts As they speed forward to do and
to dare They lose sight Of them as
their khaki uniforms blend with the
brown of the autumn fields and woods
: only to pick them up again as they gain
the crest Of the ridge and stand out Q
dark mass against the bright sky.
The Washington herald., 1914-11-01

And as their comrades behind in the
trenches watch them sweep along the
crest at a mad speed they suddenly see
horses and men sink down into the
ground as II the earth had opened and
swallowed them. Great gaps appear In
the dark mass of that silhouette against
the sky and still more and more gaps
appear. Soon the whole line OF the
silhouette wayers and breaks and, after
many, many minutes Of waiting that
seem as long as hours, the remnants OF
that redoubtable cavalry regiment make
their way back TO the trenches.
I'VE couldn't see them, we couldn't see
them" is on every lip and once more
the officers understand that the invisible
uniform of the Germans has again
triumphed.
II all other things between the great
armies that are fighting in this war we're
equal the Germans would win 1t beyond
q shadow of g doubt by the amazing.
wonderful uniform they have planned
for their men. II is q uniform that
makes the wearer practically invisible at
the distance of few hundred yards. It
is a uniform of gray-green that melts
into any landscape or country over which
their armies pass.
tits gray-green OF such quality that
thousands of soldiers can be lined up
in front of a stretch OF woods and remain
invisible to column Of the enemy which
may be advancing in their direction. II
Is gray-green so carefully worked out
that q regiment can lie or kneel IN the
middle of q summer or autumn field and

the enemy is aware Of the presence Of
the Germans.
And again It il a gray-green Of such Q
positively neutral tone that q whole army
can march along the crest Of the ridge
and at the same time remain practically
invisible to an enemy searching for them
with field glasses It is q gray-green
that simply melts into the air.
Other armies which have engaged In
the present war likewise have expert
mented with invisible uniforms but none
has met the success that the Germans
have. The British army has depended
upon the khaki uniform, a uniform which
makes a soldier invisible so long as he
remains In a brown field, but which
brings him into sharp relief as soon as
he appears on a crest or elevation against
the sky.
The French army some time ago
adopted a Acknowledgment uniform. II.
is q uniform which blends with the
scenery fairly well but for some reason
or other only part Of the French army
was supplied with It. The remainder
still wear the old-fashioned blue and red
uniform, which makes them the most
conspicuous object IN a landscape. The
Belgians wear a khaki uniform which
has the same good and bad qualities as
that Of the English. The Austrians have
q good neutral gray uniform. It is the
Germans alone, however, who. expert

the most expert marksman cannot hit q

1T is gray-green. not the blue-gray
Of our Confederates. 1t Is the gray of
the hour just before daybreak, the gray
of unpublished steel and o4 mist among
green trees.

German army and the effect 1t has upon
the beholder.
"The entrance Of the German army
into Brussels has lost its human quality"
he wrote recently in describing the
Teutons' entrance into the Belgian cap
ital. What has passed through and
what twenty-four hours later Is still
passing through is not men marching
but a force Of nature like q tidal wave,
avalanche or river flooding its banks.
"At the sight of the first few regi-
ments Of the enemy we were thrilled with
interest. After they had passed for three
hours in one unbroken steel gray column
we were bored, but when hour after hour
passed and there was no halt in those
colorless lines the thing became uncanny
and inhuman.
"You returned to watch 1t fascinated
It held the mystery and menace of q fog

slightest difference.
"All moved under a cloak of invisible
ity. Only after the most numerous and
severe tests at all distances with all
materials and combinations of colors that
gave forth no color could this gray have
been discovered.

first meeting OF the creditors held at
Montpelier last Friday, about $50 being
present in person or represented by at
torney. The election of a sole trustee
Was objected to bv creditors from La
noble county and Waterbury, who
wanted representation, and in order that
fight might be averted over the estab.
fishing of claims which would delay the
hearing for election of a trustee or trus.
tees, compromise was effected by which
man representing the Montpelier and
vicinity creditors was selected.
M. p Maurice of Morrisvlle repre-
sented claims to the extent of $15 900
which gave him an important voice in
the hearing. F. G. Fleetwood of Nor
risville represented c. F. Eddy and B. E.
Bailey and Fred B. Thomas some of the
Montpelier creditors.
Referee W. n Theriault before whom
the hearing was held, appointed the trus-
tees on agreement being reached and
fixed the bond at $4,000.
Mr.. Eddy was on the stand for about
an hour and was interrogated by attor-
neys for the creditors. He was unable
to give definite information on some of
the questions propounded to him. The
hearing was adjourned to February 4.
Appraisers will be appointed Immediate
ly by the referee.
Mr.. Eddy failed in round figures for
$4,000 and his assets are $50, 900, of
which $4,000 is life insurance. which
runs to members of his family. He was
owner of fcreameries in Montpelier, Water
bury, Stowe, Cavendish, Hortonsville
and Orleans.
The amount of bond for the trustees
occupied some time. 1t was finally fixed
at $4,000, joint bond.
One OF the matters gone into in some
detail was the ownership of certain
piece of meadow land between Stowe
and Morrisville, which Mr. Eddy claimed
to have purchased by deed with his wife
for 81, POO. He paid in about $500 to
$1,000 while his wife invested 5000 TO
$780,
NJ. Eddy testified that he was con.
Quoting seven creameries in Vermont and
had halt interest in one in New York at
time OF his assignment. The one in New
York he sold to his partner, T. B. Grant,
of New York for two checks for $500
each. He went to Boston before the as
signment and sold this because a live
creamery is worth something while
dead one is not, he said.
He asked $4,000 for the creamery at
and $4,000 for another one,
but got Sc, 400 for the two. He said he
didn't get as much as he would if he had
had more time, but got more than could
have been secured had the bankruptcy
occurred first. He was also questioned
as to his book accounts and said he had
accounts in banks in Montpelier and
but did not have bis bank
books with him.
