tical as to the chances that it will
lead to anything in the immediate
future. At least the Pan-German
papers insist that peace on the pro-
posed basis is utterly impossible.

ITALIAN SOLDIERS PAINT

The Italians holding down trenches
in the Alps have two enemies to deal
with. the Austrians and the snow
OF the two. the Italians prefer to en-
counter the Austrians, as 1t is, they
have to face both and get along as
best they can. says the Popular Sci
cnce Monthly. In order to do this
they supply themselves with gum
powder and rifles for the Austrians
and black grease and glasses for the
sun.
Their faces and hands are be-
smeared with black grease to protect
them against the burning rays of the
sun, which are doubly strong when
reelected from the snow. They pre-
fer to use vaseline. but that is too
expensive. The snow not only burns
the faces of troops but II Injuries their
eyes so that sun glasses have to be
worn. Needless to say. the black
grease and the sun glasses make the
Italians excellent targets against a
background of white snow.
However. the Alpine Italian troops
do not always use grease and sun
glasses When there Is hot hghting
to be done In the Alps. they, don
snow-white suits and even paint their
rifles white In such a uniform they
are practically invisible.

opinion that "the present agitation OF
