RAINBOW SHIPS

American ships leaving port may
soon resemble moving rainbows. 1t
has been proposed that the deceptive
art of camouflase be adopted as "A

been done to some extent. but it now
seems probable that ships will be

now equipped to throw out these

Mo. 1o-camp Grant, Rockford, III.


Ulysses s. Grant belonged to that
race of men who seem to have been
destined by nature for great deeds.
But his way to achievement lay over
roads so hard that a spirit less bold

his struggles and victories should
prove an inspiration for the Illinois
troops who are being modified as the

TURN TO ACID MAKING,

Since the beginning OF the year the
price OF sulphnric acid in Japan has
been steadily advancing owing to in

and also to the allies for war purposes,
AS a result, some of the artificial fer
