ArtiIIerymen Fight verdun Battle.
Paris, Aug. 30.-The number Of ar
tillerymen employed in the recent oper-
ations in the Verdun region was great
er than the number of intantrymen put
into the battle line.
The surprising fact Is explained by
the correspondent of the Temps at
verdun as being due to the difficulty
Of the gunners' tasks in addition to the
immense number. Of cannon. Heavy
shells had to be carried to the guns
for hours at a stretch by men who
were compelled to wear masks which
rendered breathing difficult and OBJ
structed their vision.
The correspondent. adds that the OBJ
Jective OF the artillery lis now less di-
rected, to destroying enemy guns than
to forcing the German gunners to sus-
pend service and seek shelter. For this
purpose, he says, gas shells are en-
ployed largely.

Army Seeking Reoruits For Deceit Do.
Wiser Unit. q
washington, Aug. 3o.--' Wherever
ingenious men are looking for special
entertainment in the way of fooling
Germans they should waste no time in
getting in touch with the chief Of engi-
neers war department, Washington,
d. c." {Sg.
This is an excerpt from an official
announcement from the war Depart
ment proclaiming the fact that the
United States government is going in
strong for camoufiage; that the gov
eminent wants all the wits that Amer
lea can spare to devise deceits for the
enemy, and that the first American
camoufage company already Is being
organized for service in France.
There Is no camoufage about the
war departments intentions. They are
real and earnest, $50 much 30 that .
special appeal Is being made for re-
cruits. The appeal is TO embryo
Acamouheurs" Of the country. The
country probably, Is full Of such.
whether the "embryos', know it or not.
\. In order. that Americans otherwise
unoccupied with war preparations may
know what is meant by "camoufieurs, .
and what Is expected Of such a person,
1t is explained in official English that
the camoufleur practices the art OF
military sconcealnment."
'Whereyer a machine gun is set up"
the war department says in. It's alluring
appeal, "or trench Is taken and re-
yersed, or battery Of artillery goes
into action, or new road is opened. or
a new bridge Is built. or q snipet
climbs an old building, or an officer
creeps out into an advanced post 70

,camounage man TO spread his best inni-s
tation Of the magic veil Of inyistbility.s

Copenhagen, Aug. 30.-The statement
that an offer Of separate peace was
made to Russia recently by the German
government Is published in the socialist
newspaper vorwaerts Of Berlin. It is
brought out by the assertion OF Premier

the Moscow conference. that Russia "a
little time ago" replied Indignantly to
a proposal to conclude separate peace
and that a few days ago I'VE witnessed
another attempt equally base. directed
against our allies
In this connection the semi official
Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung is
again detected by the German press in
an attempt to throw dust in the eyes Of
the world and the German public by
ostensibly denying Premier Kerensky's q
accounts OF the overtures to Russia
and its allies, which IL characterized
as In reality being no denial at ALL
Resort TO TricI<sry.
The Tageblatt, the Vorwaerts and
and Vossische Zeitung call attention to
the trick Of the semi official organ in
denying overtures were made by Chan
cellor Won Bethmann Hollweg. where-
as Kerensky did not mention the for
mer chancellor, specifying that the
proposal to Russia's allies, Was made
a few days ago that is, since -the ~
ttremant Of Df. Won 1ethmann-H0ai-
veg. es
The vorwaerts adds that such an
offer was actually made to Russia, al
tho not by DR. Won Bethmann-Hollwsg.
