Masking the Guns.

Against air craft observation one of
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns, limbers and ammunition wagons
with different neutral tints so that they
viii blend with the ground about
them. Any earthworks, pits, etc, that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusual shall be spotted by
keen eyed air men.
A battery of guns is seldom placed
along the sky line, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in
cline In front of the sky line, unless
the guns are howitzers. in which case
they can be best served from behind
the ridge. The idea of Placing the
guns in front of the ridge is that the
rising ground behind them serves as
an effectual screen, as the guns them
selves are painted TO represent earth
aud foliage.-London Standard.

The Real Wilson

"And when the history of these
days comes to be written, and the
children OF tomorrow read their
nations story, when time shall have
f., dispelled all mis-conception, and the
years shall have rendered their i'm
partial verdict, one name will shine
In golden splendor upon the page
that is blackened with the tale of
Europe's war, one name will repre-
sent the triumph of American prin-
ciples over the hosts of darkness and
DEATH" This was one of the state
mentS made by former Governor
Glynn of New York in thrilling and
glowing tribute paid in his speech
yesterday as temporary chairman of
the Democratic national convention to
Woodrow Wilson, President of the
United States. Glynn has given the
nation striking word picture of the
real Wilson. He has aptly portrayed
the real character of the man at the
head of the nations affairs and the
type OF craftsmanship that is looking
toward the future welfare of the
country as we'll as the present and
who has placed country above all
personal thoughts in the conduct of
his affairs of office. Tie people as
whole are beginning to more and
more appreciate the true worth of
Woodrow Wilson. They realize that
In him the nation has a leader who
will guard its safety along the paths
OF destiny and whose great love of
country enables him to turn a deaf
ear TO petty strife and guide the ship
OF state through the shoals and into
the harbor of safety. The nation is
just beginning TO appreciate the real
Wilson. With the passing of years its
appreciation will become greater and
greater and we will give thanks that
In these times Of trouble we had
