RAlNB BOW SHIPS.
CamoufIaee Devices Used to Escape
Submarine Attack.


American ships leaving port may
soon resemble moving rainboWs 1t
has been proposed that the deceptive
are of camouflage be adopted as a
means of saving merchant vessels
from the U-boats. OF course, that has
been done to some extent, but it now
seems probable that ships will be
striped with a mixture of colors which
might well put a simple rainbow to
shame. 1t is said that a vessel so
painted would be practically invisible
at a distance of only mile.
One of the most successful devices
so far brought forth in the game OF
hide and seek against the U-boats
is the smoke screen. Contrary to
general belief. the smoke screen Is
not ordinarily black, but white.
Many allied merchant vessels are
now equipped to throw out these
screens in a moment of danger. The
white smoke Is obtained from burning
forth by means of a pump. This smoke
rolls out upon llle "utClJ o'' ~ -
short distance looks like a mass of fog
Any one who has been in fog at sea
will know how difficult it is to see an
object even at close range. So this
artificially created fog gives mer-
chant ship an excellent chance of es-
cape If the danger Is known In time
II is regularly used by many vessels
trayersing the war zone as means
of precaution.
Other vessels carry number o.
large cases pierced with holes. Whef
pursued the cases can be thrown over
board and a different kind Of smoke
screen obtained. The mixture within
these cases, consisting partly of gun
powder is set afire when the sea wa
ter rushes into the holes, and imme
diately sends forth a great volume o
yellowish smoke.

NO ONE FATHERS KAISER.
(Elkogram)

Some people We're made to be soldiers,
But the Irish were made to be cops.
Sauerkraut was made for the Germans
And spaghetti was made for the
wops.
Fish were made to drink water
And buns were made to drink booze.
Banks were made for money,
And money was made for the Jews.
Everything was made for something
Everything except the miser.
God made Wilson to be president
But who in hell made the kaiser?
