CamouhaQe.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic reserve,
appears in the Century, entitled
Camouflage. 1t is the story of two
young people on the eve of the hus-
bands going to battle.
"FOr the benefit Of those who may
not be acquainted with what camOu-
flage means, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as thin veil drawn over great
events.
There are endless varieties of
camouflage, and endless uses to which
it may be put. A great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
a hedge of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fiage. An observation point hidden in
the heart of Notwithstanding

subtlest variety of all is the kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the

OF the things which will feel the bur-
den Of taxation.

The committee found it necessary to
go to the tariff to make up deficit of

done by an agreement to a tax Of 10
per cent upon all articles now on the
free list and 10 per cent additional
upon all articles now upon the dutiable

Eleven million male citizens from
twenty-one to thirty years old. inclu-
sive, will be subject to draft by the
president Of the United States.
But in order shat men under twenty
one and over thirty may serve their
country II they so desire, the measure
provides for the acceptance Of volun-
teers over eighteen years and under
forty years.
The gigantic number Of men subject
to draft will not all be called to the
cOlOrs by any means. The proposed
law gives authority to the president to
draft as many men as he deems nee
essary to fiji up the regular army, the
National Guard and the CONSUMPTION
force Of 1000, 900 men.
2,001 900 Armed Men.
It is estimated by the war depart.
ment that as result Of the authority
conferred and the action to be taken
2,OO1, 600 officers and men will COM
prise the military establishment Of the
United States.
Under the new bill agreed to author
ity Is given to fill up by draft the reg
ular army and the National Guard to
war strength, and to raise outside this
100000 men, 100000 to come as the
first quota.
The war strength Of the regular
army Is about 100000 men. 1t has
now about $4,000 men and Is short
about $4,000. The National Guard
has war strength Of 625. 900 men. 1t
has now about $4,000 and Is short
about 100000 men.
Therefore, on the first call there can
be taken for war service about 655. 900
men to I'll up gaps In the regular army
and National Guard and In addition
100000 as the first quota of the con.
script army of 100000 men.
In the first draft 1t Is possible about
1.155OOO men will be taken for active
service. leaving authorization under
the present bill to call out immedi.
ately 100000 more for another con.
script army.
No Place for Roosevelt.
Tho action allowing Col. Theodore
Roosevelt to enlist volunteers for for.
eign service has been eliminated.
What the colonel will do now that
his pet project is incapable of realiza-
ton is a question. 1t Is generally un.
derstood that President Wilson is alb
solutely opposed to the idea Of vol.
unteer organization under command Of
the colonel.
Pay for enlisted men and non
commissioned officers was agreed upon
as follows:
Men now receiving less than $21
per month are increased to $31 per
month; those who received $2A' are
Increased to $50; men who receive $50,
$3.50 or $40 are increased 50 each men
who receive $40 are increased to $50.
Army offscers Pleased.
Army officers received notice Of the
age limit with pleasure. They had
expected a higher maximum. though
they would rather have had the orig.
inal ages Of nineteen to twenty-f Ave.
A new section In the bill authorizes
the president to organize and equip
three machine-gun companies for
each infantry and cavalry brigade
and four machine gun companies and
an armored motorcar for each in.
fantry and cavalry division.
